The 1972 Masters Tournament was the 36th Masters Tournament, held April 6–9 at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia.

Jack Nicklaus took the lead with a first round 68 and won the fourth[2] of his six Masters titles, three strokes ahead of three runners-up.[3] It was the tenth of 18 major titles as a professional for Nicklaus, who also won the U.S. Open in 1972 and was the runner-up at the Open Championship in Scotland, one stroke behind defending champion Lee Trevino.

It was the first Masters played without founder Bobby Jones, who died in December 1971 at age 69.

Banned from the last five Masters, commentator Jack Whitaker returned to the CBS telecast in 1972. He had referred to the gallery at the end of the 18-hole Monday playoff in 1966 as a "mob."[4]
