The Masters has a habit of creating legends on its majestic course, champions that remain closely connected to one of golf's most beloved events.

Look back at events such as Demaret's unlikely win in 1940, Palmer's fourth victory in 1964, Snead's memorable playoff in 1954 and Nicklaus' legendary performance in 1986.
