2023 Masters Champion

Jon Rahm was this year’s winner of the Masters, adding his first-ever Masters win and a green jacket to his collection.

Rahm is the fourth-ever player from Spain to win the Masters. The last Spanish winner was Sergio Garcia who won it in 2017. Before Garcia, the last Spaniard to win the Masters tournament dates back to 1999. With Rahm’s win, Spain now sits behind the United States for the most Masters Tournaments won.

A well-deserved win. #themasters pic.twitter.com/YkdHxF12cF
