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.
