Just 4 golfers have won the Masters a week after winning on PGA Tour
It's rare to win the Masters the week after winning a PGA Tour event. It's only happened four times ever and just twice since 1960.
It's not uncommon for many pro golfers to skip events the week before a major. For others, it's never an issue teeing it up with a major championship approaching. In fact, many say they like to play the week before to get in some final prep.
But how often do players follow a win on the PGA Tour with another victory on a much bigger stage? It's only happened four times ever and only twice since 1960. The most recent back-to-back of this feat occurred nearly 20 years ago.
Special thanks to stats guru @JustinRayGolf for the info. Ralph Guldahl, 1939 Ralph Guldahl won the 1937 and 1938 U. S.
Opens as well as the 1939 Masters. It was in 1939 that Guldahl won in Greensboro before heading to Augusta to claim the green jacket . Guldahl finished second each of the two years prior, finishing behind Byron Nelson and then Henry Picard.
