The 1949 Masters Tournament was the 13th Masters Tournament, held April 7–10 at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. This was the first year that the famous Green Jacket was awarded to the tournament winner, and previous champions were awarded theirs retroactively.[2]
Sam Snead shot back-to-back rounds of 67 on the weekend to win by three strokes over runners-up Johnny Bulla and Lloyd Mangrum.[3][4] This was the first of his three Masters victories and the third of his seven major championships.
Ben Hogan did not play in the majors in 1949, due to a near-fatal automobile accident in early February.[5][6]
