Tiger Woods still has his sights set on catching the Golden Bear.

Woods, a five-time Masters champion, is looking to make his fifth attempt to match Jack Nicklaus' record of six Green Jackets when he tees it up this year at Augusta National Golf Club.

The 89th Masters Tournament gets underway on Thursday, April 11, at the storied course in Augusta, Georgia.

From the moment the legendary Bobby Jones found the gorgeous parcel of land, hired legendary course designer Alister MacKenzie and established the first "Augusta National Invitation Tournament," what later became known as The Masters has been the site of some of golf's most memorable moments.

Here's a look at some of the many golfers who have made The Masters so special:

Who has won most Masters titles?

Back-to-back Masters winners

In addition to Jack Nicklaus (1965, 1966) and Tiger Woods (2001, 2002), Nick Faldo (1989, 1990) is the only other golfer to successfully defend his Masters title.

Best players to never win The Masters

The golfer with the most major titles that doesn't include The Masters is Walter Hagen with 11. Hagen won the British Open four times, U.S. Open twice and the PGA Championship five times from 1914-29.

Bobby Jones and Harry Vardon each won seven majors, but those all came before the first Masters in 1934.

Lee Trevino won the British Open, U.S. Open and PGA twice each, but never donned the Green Jacket at Augusta.

Perhaps the most famous non-winner at Augusta is Greg Norman. The Australian was the foil to Nicklaus' miraculous comeback in 1986, losing by one stroke. The following year, he lost in a three-way playoff with Seve Ballesteros and eventual champion Larry Mize. His greatest disappointment at Augusta came in 1996, when he began the final round with a six-stroke lead, but shot a 6-over 78 and finished second to Nick Faldo.

Among active golfers, Brooks Koepka (5 majors) and Rory McIlroy (4 majors) are the most prominent players who have yet to win at Augusta National.

Who won the 2023 Masters?

Jon Rahm became just the second Spanish player to win two different majors, joining Seve Ballesteros, when he won last year's Masters.

Rahm, who entered the final round trailing Brooks Koepka by two strokes, shot a 3-under 69 in the final round to finish 12-under for the tournament and claim his green jacket. It was Rahm's first Masters win and second major tournament victory, the first coming at the 2021 U.S. Open.

Masters winners, year by year

Note: The Masters did not take place from 1943-45 because of World War II.
