The 1974 Masters Tournament was the 38th Masters Tournament, held on April 11–14 at the Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia.
Gary Player won the second of his three Masters titles at 278 (−10), two strokes ahead of runners-up Dave Stockton and Tom Weiskopf.[2][3] It was the seventh of his nine major championships. Player did not enter the previous year's tournament due to leg and abdominal surgery;[4][5] it was the only Masters that he missed in 53 years.
Defending champion Tommy Aaron missed the cut by two strokes. Jack Burke, Jr., the 1956 champion, competed at the Masters for the final time.
