grand tour winners

Sepp Kuss wins Spanish Vuelta, becoming the first American to win a Grand Tour race in a decade

MADRID — A decade later, the United States has a Grand Tour winner again.

Sepp Kuss won the Spanish Vuelta on Sunday to become the first American to win one of cycling’s top races since Chris Horner earned the Vuelta victory in 2013. The other Grand Tour events are the Giro d’Italia and the Tour de France.

Kuss had effectively secured the victory ahead of Sunday’s largely ceremonial stage, when rivals in the Spanish capital respected his lead and did not launch any attacks as per cycling tradition.

“It’s incredible. I think today was the stage that I suffered the most of the whole race, now I’m just glad it’s over,” Kuss said. “It’s life-changing for sure. I think I’ll look back on this experience with a lot of fun memories. It’s still sinking in, I think it’s gonna take quite some time. Now, a big celebration. Family, friends are here, and that’s gonna be really special.”

It was a surprising victory for Kuss, who entered the race in a supporting role to his Jumbo-Visma teammates Jonas Vingegaard — the two-time Tour de France winner — and Primoz Roglic, a three-time Vuelta winner.

Vingegaard and Roglic finished second and third overall, respectively, capping a dominant performance and a historic treble for Jumbo-Visma, which swept all three Grand Tour events this year. Roglic won the Giro d’Italia in May and Vingegaard repeated as Tour de France champion in July.

Kuss crossed the line along with his teammates, who were all wearing a special jersey in honor of the team’s treble.

Alpecin-Deceuninck rider Kaden Groves prevailed in the final sprint to win the last stage.

Kuss took the lead in the eighth stage and never relinquished it despite being pushed hard by his teammates a few times. The American held his own on difficult climbs up the Col du Tourmalet in France and the Alto de l’Angliru in northern Spain, ending the three-week race with a 17-second advantage.

The 29-year-old from Durango, Colorado, started cycling as a way to train all year for his passion of cross-country skiing. But he eventually changed the skis for wheels and has for several seasons featured as one of the top support riders for Jumbo-Visma. He now lives in Andorra with his wife in the Pyrenees Mountains nestled between Spain and France.

The final stage began at Madrid’s horse-racing track and ended with riders taking laps around some of the iconic monuments in the Spanish capital.

Kuss took it easy within the peloton and was celebrated by his rivals and fans who lined Madrid’s streets.

Last year’s champion, Remco Evenepoel of Soudal Quick-Step, ended as King of the Mountains and became the first Belgian to win the Vuelta’s most combative award. Groves became the first Australian to win the points standings, while 21-year-old Juan Ayuso of Spain was the best young rider.

Organizers announced Sunday that the 2024 edition of the Vuelta will begin in Portugal, with the cities of Lisbon, Oeiras and Cascais hosting the race’s official start.

Lisbon was the first foreign city to host a Vuelta start back in 1997.

Most cycling Grand Tour wins

The most cycling Grand Tour wins is 11, achieved by Eddy Merckx (Belgium) between 1968 and 1974.

In cycling, the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia and Vuelta a España races are known collectively as the Grand Tours.

Widely regarded as the most successful competitive cyclist in history, Eddy Merckx won five Tours de France (1969–72, 1974) and five Giros d’Italia (1968, 1970, 1972–74) – both joint records. He also triumphed at the 1973 Vuelta a España.

Who is the greatest Grand Tour rider ever?

Grand Tour overall wins are the ultimate test of pro cyclists – but who is the best of all time? Is it Merckx with 11 wins? Coppi or Contador with seven each? Let the debate begin...

For some, this won't even be a debate. After all, while there are many ways to slice through the mountains of data that surround professional cycling, pretty much any list of significance you can put together is going to be topped by Eddy Merckx.

But we're open to the possibility that there might be a little bit more to it than that. Here, then, is a brief look at some of the greatest in history, and a few suggestions as to why each one might be the best of all.

Eddy Merckx

11 wins (Tour 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1974; Giro 1968, 1970, 1972, 1973, 1974; Vuelta 1973)

For the encyclopaedists at the renowned procyclingstats.com website, this probably wouldn't be a debate. Their ranking system has Eddy Merckx streets ahead of his nearest rival, Bernard Hinault, and frankly, it's pretty hard to argue.

The Belgian has the most career victories in history (525 as a professional and amateur); he won 28 Classics, three World Championships, and held the Hour Record between 1972 and 1984. What is more, he is the only man to have won all three main jerseys at the same Tour, in 1969.

Most importantly though, he has perhaps the most enviable Grand Tour record, winning all the of three of them, the Giro d'Italia (five times), the Tour de France (five times) and the Vuelta a España (once).

And all, reportedly, despite a heart condition - non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - which these days would probably prevent him from racing.

Bernard Hinault

10 wins (Tour 1978, 1979, 1981, 1982, 1985; Giro 1980, 1982, 1985; Vuelta 1978, 1983)

Step forward 'The Badger', who finished either first or second in every Tour he completed - perhaps unlike Merckx, he didn't need to win every race he entered, but when he wanted to win, he tended to find a way to do so. And never was that better illustrated than in his final Grand Tour victory, the Tour of 1985.

Greg LeMond may feel that he could have made up the few minutes that separated him from his team-mate had the American been allowed to attack Stephen Roche on stage 17. The simple fact, though, that the Frenchman was able to battle through the race's last week after suffering a broken nose in a crash three days before stands as testament to his grit.

Hinault retired just a year later, at the relatively early age of 32. Past his best? Hardly - he had just finished his final Tour second only to LeMond.

Jacques Anquetil

Eight wins (Tour 1957, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964; Giro 1960, 1964; Vuelta 1963)

Another to have won his first Grand Tour, with victory in the 1957 Tour de France, and another not to finish off the podium when making it through the race. Unbeaten in six top-level rides between the 1961 and 1964 seasons, he had a style and grace on the bike that few have matched to such success.

'Monsieur Chrono', the king of the time trial, was also a holder of the Hour Record, taking over from Fausto Coppi on his third attempt after posting 46.159km in June 1956. And throughout a career that featured a significant level of doping controversy, he maintained a taste for the high life: "To prepare for a race," he once said, "there is nothing better than a good pheasant, some champagne and a woman."

Miguel Indurain

Seven wins (Tour 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995; Giro 1992, 1993)

The only man to win five Tours back-to-back, 'Big Mig' took a little while to come to the boil compared to others, with his first Grand Tour victory coming at the 1991 Tour de France, six years after he had first entered the Vuelta.

For the next five years, though, he was almost unassailable, with his only defeat in eight outings coming in the 1994 Giro, where he came third. His was an era which rewarded the racing against the clock in which he excelled, with many Tours featuring more than double the amount of time trialling than more recent editions.

The youngest man to lead the Vuelta (at the age of 20), and yet another man to post a record distance for the hour - his 53.040km in 1994 beat the mark of Graeme Obree - his light shone relatively briefly, but fiercely bright.

Fausto Coppi

Seven wins (Tour 1949, 1952; Giro 1940, 1947, 1949, 1952, 1953)

Five times a Giro winner, Fausto Coppi won his first title at the age of 20, before his career was interrupted by the Second World War. He was also deprived of a meaningful shot at the Vuelta, which until 1955 was not even an annual race, and had seen its early years dogged by Spanish parochialism.

In 1942, the Italian set his own Hour Record at 45.798km, a figure which would stand for 14 years until the advent of Anquetil. He is commemorated in the Cima Coppi, a title given to the highest peak in each year's running of the Giro.

Alberto Contador

Seven wins (Tour 2007, 2009; Giro 2008, 2015; Vuelta 2008, 2012, 2014)

Alberto Contador's victory at the 2015 Giro d'Italia took him to seven Grand Tour wins, although the Spaniard has celebrated nine times atop a Grand Tour podium, with the 2010 Tour and 2011 Giro titles stripped after a doping ban. He was the youngest man to win all three Grand Tours (completing the set in 2008 at the age of 25).

He won the Giro and the Vuelta in the same year (in 2008), but between 2015 and his retirement in 2017 he was unable to add another title - which would have taken him ahead of Indurain and Coppi in terms of total Grand Tour wins.

A divisive figure, Contador nevertheless used his attacking flair to become the greatest Grand Tour rider of his generation and certainly worthy of being mentioned among the all-time Grand Tour greats.

Felice Gimondi

Five wins (Tour 1965, Giro 1967, 1969, 1976, Vuelta 1968)

The great Italian perhaps would have been higher up this list had it not been for the dominance of Merckx through the late 60s and early 70s.

Gimondi finished second to the Belgian three times in Grand Tours and finished behind him on numerous other occasions, taking runner-up spot to him in the Tour in 1972 and in the Giro in 1970 and '73.

Still, Gimondi was able to record five Grand Tour wins, including taking three pink jerseys in his home race. He won his first three-week race at the Tour at the tender age of 22, but was unable to take another yellow jersey, finishing on the podium only once more.

He holds the record for most podium finishes at the Giro d'Italia though with nine between his third place finish in 1965 and his final title in 1976.

Gino Bartali

Five wins (Tour 1938, 1948; Giro 1936, 1937, 1946)

Gino Bartali's rivalry with fellow Italian Fausto Coppi may have divided the country, but it drove the sport. Another man whose palmarès would surely have been even more impressive but for the war and the initially inward-looking nature of the Vuelta, he was a Giro winner in 1936 at the age of 21, defending his title a year later and then picking up the Tour de France in 1938.

His staying power saw him through 22 Grand Tours, 20 of which he completed, and his only two non-top ten finishes came in the final years of his career as his 40s approached. His crowning achievement, though, may have been the three consecutive mountain stage wins in the 1948 Tour, a record as yet unmatched.

Chris Froome

Five wins (Tour 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, Vuelta 2017)

Since taking a first Grand Tour podium in Vuelta in 2011, Chris Froome has become the dominant Grand Tour rider of this decade.

With an exceptionally strong team behind him, Froome has taken four titles in the Tour de France and added a Vuelta title in 2017. Not only that, the Briton became the first man since Contador in 2008 to win two Grand Tours in the same year with the Tour/Vuelta double.

To add to that, Froome has finished on the podium on four other occasions at Grand Tours; second at the Tour de France in 2012 and second three times at the Vuelta in '11, '14, '16.

While Froome may be some way off topping this list having never targeted the Giro, he is the only rider aside from Contador to have won the Vuelta in perhaps its more difficult incarnation at the back-end of the year rather than in spring time.

Grand tour winners, world champions, monument kings: Retirement class of 2022 marks end of era

Never have so many marquee, top-level pros all retired in the same season..

Heading out the door? Read this article on the new Outside+ app available now on iOS devices for members! >","name":"in-content-cta","type":"link"}}'>Download the app .

Last weekend marked a long goodbye for some of the brightest stars in the elite men’s peloton.

Vincenzo Nibali (Astana-Qazaqstan), a member of cycling’s elite “grand tour triple crown,” and Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) bowed out Saturday at Il Lombardia.

Philippe Gilbert (Lotto-Soudal), the last Belgian world champion until Remco Evenepoel and the rider who came closest to the “monument sweep” in the modern era, said au revoir at Paris-Tours.

Experienced veterans Niki Terpstra (TotalEnergies), Iljo Keisse (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl), and Sebastian Langeveld (EF Education-EasyPost) all waved goodbye Sunday at different races across Europe.

The retirement class of 2022 also includes Richie Porte (Ineos Grenadiers), only the second Australian to hit the Tour de France podium, and Tom Dumoulin (Jumbo-Visma), the first Dutch grand tour winner in decades. Alex Dowsett (Israel Premier Tech) also confirmed his retirement.

Ben King and Nate Brown (Human Powered Health) and Antoine Duchesne (Groupama-FDJ) leave big holes in the North American peloton.

What’s happening? A changing of the guard, that’s what.

Riders come and go every season, but this year sees a unique string of high-profile retirements across the elite of the WorldTour.

How does this year compare?

As of the first week of October, there are about 30 riders swapping racing cleats for the couch in the elite men’s peloton in the WorldTour and ProTeam ranks.

Right now, riders joining the retirement club are relatively low. In 2021, for example, nearly 70 riders left the sport. Some 45 retired in 2020, and 60 called it quits in 2019.

More still could see their careers take an earlier than expected exit this year if they cannot land new contracts. A few riders, such as Mark Cavendish and Domenico Pozzovivo, still have uncertain futures, but those two are expected to land deals.

More than a few, however, will be caught out in the never-ending game of musical chairs to remain at the top level of elite men’s professional racing.

Good news for job-hunters for 2023 is that there are no major teams closing down. The reported new arrival of a team backed by Doug Ryder could provide a soft landing for several pros on the bubble.

The bad news is that relegation/promotion wars will all but mean that Israel-Premier Tech and Lotto-Soudal will be bumped out of the WorldTour.

Those two teams could see riders and staffers leave when the teams lose their respective WorldTour status, assuming that the UCI will stick to its guns in the controversial system. The top riders from those teams will have freedom to find new rides, putting even more pressure on journeyman riders in the bunch hoping for one more season in the bigs.

No matter what age, riders without contracts going into late autumn can see their careers hanging by a thread. But there are always miracles.

Last January, Australian veteran Simon Clarke looked all but sure to end his career after Qhubeka closed shop and he couldn’t find a ride. Israel-Premier Tech offered him a lifeline early in 2022, and by February, he paid it back with a string of top-10s, and then hit the jackpot in July by winning the cobblestone stage at the Tour de France.

The team rewarded him with a two-year contract extension.

Leaving a hole after 2022

What’s unique about this year is how many marquee riders are leaving at the same time.

It’s partly coincidental, of course, but Gilbert, Dumoulin, Porte, Valverde, and Nibali were all standard-bearers from their respective nations.

Italy and Spain especially will be missing the star power of Nibali and Valverde.

Both countries are among the traditional power bases in European cycling, but neither have clear inheritors to their respective thrones. Spain sees Enric Mas, with Juan Ayuso and Carlos Rodríguez waiting in the wings, while it’s a bit bleaker at the top for Italy, where Filippo Ganna and Giulio Ciccone are expected to fill the Nibali void.

Both Italy and Spain have the cycling DNA spread across the elite peloton, but it’s harder for those nations as Spain only boasts one WorldTour team with Team Movistar, while Italy hasn’t seen a WorldTour-level team since Liquigas folded five years ago.

Valverde is the last of Spain’s “golden generation” that also included Oscar Freire, Alberto Contador, Samuel Sánchez, Joaquin Rodríguez and Carlos Sastre. Nibali is Italy’s last grand tour winner.

Porte was Australia’s top Tour hope in the post-Evans era, but now Australia brings Ben O’Connor, Jai Hindley, only Australia’s second grand tour winner after his 2022 Giro win, as well as the highly touted Luke Plapp.

Valverde, whose controversial Puerto legacy will mar his otherwise world-class palmarès for some, didn’t want to retire last year as planned after he snapped his clavicle at the 2021 Vuelta a España.

Porte, Nibali, and Gilbert all wanted one last season, and all left at the top of the peloton. All three are well into their 30s, while Valverde hit 42 in his final season, proof that careers are lasting longer in the modern peloton if the drive and health are fully intact.

Dumoulin’s case was different as he simply burned out on the demands of racing at the pointy end of the WorldTour, and he retired at 31 when he could have raced a few more seasons at a high level if he wanted to.

Most top-earning big names retire on their terms, and usually have packed away enough cash to not have to work as a sport director.

Nibali will have an ambassador role with cycling apparel brand Q36.5, while Valverde will stay on with Movistar in an advisory role. Neither said they want to drive in a team car.

Gilbert also said he’s not interesting in a sport director’s role. He runs a bike shop in Monaco, and has been linked in the Belgian media as possibly taking over Lotto Soudal following the exit of John Lelangue, but he confirmed this week he’s not interested.

Porte said he’s returning to Australia to spend time with his family, while Dumoulin also he might be interested in helping develop younger talent, but doesn’t want the day-to-day grind of being a sport director.

Also read : Dumoulin: Cycling’s butterfly that got away

There are a few retiring riders who will transition directly into sport director’s roles, including Langeveld at EF Education-EasyPost and Keisse at Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl.

Some say support riders who rode as road captains make better sport directors than the marquee stars, who were often at the center of a team’s attention, and can’t bring such a universal eye to running a team.

A few will try their hand at media, especially with Eurosport and GCN+ providing new opportunities for ex-pros to be pundits across the channel’s diverse languages.

Others will keep racing, but in a different discipline. Terpstra is the latest pro who said he will dip his toes into the gravel scene. Others move into the travel industry, running training camps or leading bike tours.

The wheel keeps on turning, and new riders keep moving up from below.

From Evans to Hindley - Australia's Grand Tour journey gets a new chapter

Just a handful of Hindley's compatriots have made it onto a Grand Tour overall podium and only one other to the top step

Australian riders have for many decades been making a mark on the men's Grand Tours, ranging from a Vuelta a España stage win by Don Allan in 1975, to 1982's first Tour de France yellow jaunts by Phil Anderson or the green jersey winning sprint stars of the early 2000's, like Robbie McEwen. Still it is only in the last 15 years that the nation has joined the fray of serious overall contenders. In 2007 it was former mountain biker Cadel Evans that opened up a new world to Australian cycling fans – results that were built over three weeks with time carefully stolen in the mountains and time trials, and then just as carefully protected on the flat. Evans delivered a raft of firsts, from being the first rider from his nation to stand on a final Grand Tour General Classification podium to being the first and, until now, only Australian to win a Grand Tour.

On Sunday, however, Evans gained company as an Australian Grand Tour winner when Jai Hindley rode the pink carpet into Verona’s famous arena to celebrate securing a Giro d'Italia victory that he had laid his claim to with a perfectly played hand in the final kilometres of the Saturday's mountain stage.

As Hindley continues to write a new chapter of cycling history we plot the course of sleepless nights for Australian cycling fans over the years, which are bound to continue with a new generation of Grand Tour contenders now making their presence felt.

Cadel Evans

Grand Tour GC podium results:

• 2nd, 2007 Tour de France
• 2nd, 2008 Tour de France
• 3rd, 2009 Vuelta a España
• 1st, 2011 Tour de France
• 3rd, 2013 Giro d’Italia

Cadel Evans ushered in a new era for Australian cycling, clearly demonstrating that the nation could provide more than stage winners and sprint stars when he became the first of his compatriots to break through to a GrandTour podium. It was in his very first Grand Tour, the Giro d’Italia in 2002, that his potential to rise to the top of the GC pecking order shone through. There he wore the pink jersey for a day, stood on two stage podiums and finished 14th overall. 

After swapping from T-Mobile to Davitamon-Lotto, Evans first got to try his hand at the Tour de France in 2005, finishing in eighth. Then in 2006 he stepped up his results and was just out of reach of the podium with what was initially recorded as a fifth place at the Tour de France that later became a fourth following the disqualification of Floyd Landis. Then by his third attempt at the French tour, the Australian had truly arrived as a serious contender for the win.

In 2007 Evans ended up second to Alberto Contador – who inherited the lead when Michael Rasmussen was pulled from the Tour by his team while in yellow. The gap was a mere 23 seconds so while there was every reason for the team, where he was sharing resources with sprinter Robbie McEwen, to rejoice in making it onto those podium steps it was close enough to victory that it may also have also felt a little like the one that got away .

Next year Evans proved how consistent a Grand Tour threat he was, making it back on the middle step of the podium again. This time he was second to another Spanish rider, Carlos Sastre after taking a time hit and losing the pink jersey on a tough stage 15 in the Alps.

The Tour de France success wasn't to be repeated in 2009, however Evans still made it onto a Grand Tour podium for a third year in a row, but this time it was the Vuelta a España. Evans ended the Spanish race in third place, 1:32 back from winner Alejandro Valverde, which also happens to be just about the amount of time Evans lost in one of the clumsiest wheel changes imaginable. After puncturing on stage 13 to Sierra Nevada, two neutral service mechanics fumbled with three wheels and Evans was stranded as his rivals rode away.

"I came away from the Vuelta a little bit frustrated," said Evans at the time. "How often do you lose a bike race thanks to the incompetence of neutral service? Never. It's never happened before."

After that disappointing episode the Victorian had to wait another couple of years for his next Grand Tour podium, but this time it was the big one. At the Tour de France in 2011 it was a tense final mountain stage to Alpe d’Huez, with the key contenders on the attack almost from the start. At the end of it a dogged Evans was in third and with Andy and Frank Schleck both within a minute, the scene was set for the Australian, who was then racing with BMC, to use his time trial prowess to work his way into yellow right when it mattered. It was a dominant performance in the race against the clock, with Evans ending the day in the overall lead, with a gap of 1:34 and an appointment on the Champs-Élysées the next day to celebrate becoming the first ever Australian Grand Tour winner.

Two years later, in 2013, Evans also added a Giro d’Italia third place to take his Grand Tour overall podium tally to five and also make him the only Australian to have taken a top three in the General Classification across all of the Grand Tours. 

Richie Porte

• 3rd, 2020 Tour de France

Richie Porte, like Evans, marked out his potential to be a threat on the overall at his first Giro d’Italia in 2010 where he stepped into the maglia rosa for three days, took seventh overall and the white young riders jersey. That history meant he was the automatic choice as the GC rider to watch for Australian cycling fans once Cadel Evans retired early in 2015. 

He looked set to quickly fill the void, entering the Giro d’Italia in 2015 with a serious shot, as rather than being a support rider this time he had Team Sky behind him from the start and was fresh from a trio of overall victories at Paris-Nice, Volta a Catalunya and Giro del Trentino. However that all changed with an ill-timed puncture, a controversial time penalty after compatriot Simon Clarke – who was riding for GreenEdge – handed him a wheel and then a race ending crash.

The next year Porte, now with BMC Racing, focussed on the Tour de France where he came fifth and was less than a minute shy of the podium. His challenge was derailed by crashes the next two years and he finished 11th in 2019. 

In 2020 Porte entered the Tour de France, at 35, with one last shot at the overall with Trek-Segafredo as plans were afoot to round out the last two seasons of his career at Ineos-Grenadiers as a super domestique. Throughout the Tour, a late edition in the pandemic interrupted season, he slowly worked his way up the standings in the shadow of a battle between Tadej Pogačar and Primož Roglič. He was fourth before the stage 20 time trial, but it was a blistering pace and a third spot on the stage for Porte and that was enough to reshuffle the podium. The Tasmanian had taken it to the wire, but ultimately became just the second Australian to take to a Grand Tour podium, with third at the Tour de France behind Pogačar and Roglic.

This year’s Giro d’Italia was Porte's 17th and last Grand Tour, as he is retiring at the end of the season. The 37 year old, a key mountain support rider for Ineos Grenadiers teammate Richard Carapaz, however didn't get the dreamed of farewell in  Verona. Porte had to cut this last Giro short, leaving on stage 19 due to illness.

It’s been a hell of a journey, from his first #Giro as a neo pro - where he wore the maglia rosa for three days - to the iconic climbing support he gave to Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome across numerous Tour de France wins; a Tour de France podium of his own; and so much more. pic.twitter.com/SeaRa5E6ba May 27, 2022

• 3rd, 2021 Vuelta a España

On the very first stage of his very first Grand Tour, the Vuelta a España, Jack Haig learnt what it felt like to step onto a podium at a three-week race as his BikeExchange squad took third in the opening team trial in 2016. Even though he then had to wait another five years to take to the podium steps at the race again, it was a result worth waiting for.

The Grand Tour goal of 2021 for Haig, who had just switched to Bahrain Victorious, had actually been the Tour de France but a nasty collarbone break put him out of the race early. After that he ended up being a late inclusion to the Vuelta a España team. 

Only recently recovered from his injury – and not having raced since he crashed out in France – the 27-year-old was brought in as a support rider. That all changed, though, when team leader Mikel Landa fell out of the GC running. The Queensland-born Australian had, on the other hand being working his way up the GC ranks with a consistent performance, first making a big shift up 19 places to seventh on stage 7 before steadily working up to third after the last mountain stage. 

Still with Adam Yates just a minute behind on the overall and determined to try and make up ground, the podium was not assured until the final time trial was run. In the end Haig stretched the gap even further, securing that third place and becoming the first Australian to step onto the final overall podium at the race since Evans.

Jai Hindley

• 2nd, 2020 Giro d’Italia
• 1st, 2022 Giro d’Italia

Jai Hindley wasn’t a name mentioned among the contenders list before the start of the 2020 Giro, in fact not even when the race was well underway, as it was Wilco Kelderman that was leading the charge for his team of the time, Sunweb. Kelderman held a place in the top-three right through from stage 5 but on the final day in the mountains Hindley eclipsed his teammate, keeping the maglia rosa in the squad on the penultimate stage, but only just. Tao Geoghegan Hart (Ineos Grenadiers) had slotted into second place on the same time as Hindley so it was all down to the final time trial.

Unfortunately for Hindley, Geoghegan-Hart was faster in the race against the clock, claiming pink by 39 seconds and leaving Hindley with the runner-up spot. As hard as handing over pink much have been, it was still the result of Hindley's career and he became only the second Australian to stand on the Giro d’Italia podium.

As we skip forward to 2022, even after his second place two years ago, HIndley’s still wasn’t a name you’d see sitting anywhere near the top of the favourites list, instead the Western Australian now perhaps rated a passing mention down the bottom. The 26-year-old had largely fallen off the radar again after not having delivered a victory, or any particularly attention grabbing results, since that 2020 Giro d’Italia, but there was plenty of reason why. The rider had faced a combination of injury, illness and extreme saddle sores to top it off through 2021 but even after a tough season Hindley continued to be driven by the motivation of the maglia rosa. As many of his more favoured rivals fell by the wayside at the 2022 edition of the race, Hindley’s stock just kept rising. Richard Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers), however, looked like an immovable presence in the lead but that all changed on the final few kilometres of the final mountain stage.

First it was a matter of prising open a gap in the closing kilometres of stage 20, but once that was done Hindley hammered in a huge wedge, jumping away from the clearly suffering Ecuadorian to switch from a three second deficit on the overall, to a 1:25 lead. That meant when Hindley lined up for the final time trial in pink, which was just 17.4km long, this year time was on his side. He could play it carefully, as even though Carapaz was bound to go all out it was a difficult margin to bridge over such a short distance. In the end Hindley conceded just seven seconds of that 1:25 lead, leaving him riding into the arena for the post race celebrations with one of the most sought after victories in professional cycling and a place in the history books  as the first Australian to ever win the Giro d'Italia .

The Hologic WTA Tour heads back to Europe, where the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix, this year's first WTA 500 event on red clay, will take place in Stuttgart, Germany.

The Porsche Tennis Grand Prix is typically full of marquee names, and this year is no exception, with eight of the world's Top 10 players expected to participate.

Here's what you need to know about Stuttgart:

When does the tournament start?

Main-draw play starts on Monday, April 15th, and continues through Sunday, April 21st. The qualifying rounds take place the preceding weekend, on Saturday, April 13th and Sunday, April 14th. The tournament will take place at Stuttgart's Porsche Arena.

The singles main draw contains 28 players, with the top four seeds receiving first-round byes. 20 singles players are direct entries, and there will be four wild cards and four qualifiers.

The doubles main draw will have 16 teams, two of which will be wild-card teams.

Stuttgart is on Central European Summer Time (GMT+2).

This is one of two indoor-clay tournaments on the Hologic WTA Tour (the other, the inaugural WTA 250 Open Capfinances Rouen Métropole in Rouen, France, takes place during the same week).

The Wilson Roland Garros ball will be used at Stuttgart.

Champions Reel: How Iga Swiatek won Stuttgart 2023

When are the finals.

The singles final will take place at 1:00pm local time on Sunday, April 21st. The doubles final will follow the singles final on Sunday.

Who are the defending champions? 

Iga Swiatek won her second straight Porsche Tennis Grand Prix singles title last year, defeating Aryna Sabalenka 6-3, 6-4 in a rematch of the 2022 final. Sabalenka has reached the last three Stuttgart finals, finishing runner-up to the World No.1 on each occasion (Ashleigh Barty defeated Sabalenka in the 2021 final).

In last year's doubles draw, Desirae Krawczyk and Demi Schuurs also went back-to-back. They defeated Nicole Melichar-Martinez and Giuliana Olmos 6-4, 6-1 to win their second straight Porsche Tennis Grand Prix doubles title.

Who is playing?

The cut-off for singles direct entry was based on the Hologic WTA Tour rankings of March 18th. No.31 Linda Noskova was the last direct entry at that time.

Wild cards have been awarded to two-time Stuttgart champion Angelique Kerber, her fellow Germans Laura Siegemund and Tatjana Maria, and 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu.

On Friday, Americans Jessica Pegula and Emma Navarro withdrew from the main-draw entry list due to change of schedule. Those withdrawals have moved World No.34 Donna Vekic and Paula Badosa (special ranking of No.34) into the main draw.

Super scottie: scheffler pulls away to win masters 2024 at augusta national for second major title, share this article.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — On Sunday morning before the final round of the Masters, Scottie Scheffler felt overwhelmed again.

Two years ago, he was seeking his first major title and wasn’t sure if he was ready for that breakthrough. He felt anxious and broke into tears before his wife Meredith’s calming presence helped him find an inner peace that led him to victory. Two years later, Scheffler was in position to win another green jacket but this time Meredith was back home in Dallas awaiting the birth of their first child later this month. So, Scheffler sat around with some of his best childhood friends, who stepped in to deliver the words he needed so he could overcome his biggest foe: himself.

“I told them, I wish I didn’t want to win as badly as did I or as badly as I do. I think it would make the mornings easier,” Scheffler recounted. “But I love winning. I hate losing. I really do. And when you’re here in the biggest moments, when I’m sitting there with the lead on Sunday, I really, really want to win badly. And my buddies told me this morning, my victory was secure on the cross. And that’s a pretty special feeling to know that I’m secure for forever and it doesn’t matter if I win this tournament or lose this tournament. My identity is secure for forever.”

What a win. #themasters pic.twitter.com/kxtCFZgmMd — The Masters (@TheMasters) April 15, 2024

Scheffler’s reputation as the best player in golf keeps growing as he turned in another dominant performance, winning for the third time in his last four starts and claiming his ninth career PGA Tour title. He made seven birdies, including six in a nine-hole span, to shoot 4-under 68 at Augusta National Golf Club and win the 88th Masters by four shots over Sweden’s Ludvig Aberg.

Augusta National always brings out the brilliance in the game’s preeminent players – from Arnold Palmer to Jack Nicklaus to Tom Watson and Tiger Woods – and makes their greatness shine. The course also can expose any weakness and has a way of separating good from great golf. Rory McIlroy has yet to produce the goods at the Masters but he’s experienced stretches of brilliance during his career and game recognized game as he touted Scheffler’s remarkable run.

“Not a lot of clutter,” McIlroy said of Scheffler’s mental approach. “The game feels pretty easy when you’re in stretches like this.”

On a beautiful Sunday afternoon amid the towering Georgia pines and beneath a robin-blue sky, Scheffler’s various super powers were on display and he intimidated his competition into the type of mistakes that he’s learned to eliminate in his latest victory spurt.

“You have to stay patient and trust in all aspects of your game,” Scheffler said.

Scheffler raced out of the gate with a bogey-free 66 on Thursday, endured swirling winds and shot even-par 72 when scores ballooned on Friday and bounced back from his lone rough patch of the tournament – a double bogey at 10 and bogey at 11 – by making an eagle at 13 on Saturday and shoot 71  to claim a one-stroke lead heading into the final round.

“He is pretty amazing at letting things roll off his back and stepping up to very difficult golf shots and treating them like their own. He’s obviously a tremendous talent, but I think that is his superpower,” said Max Homa, who shot 73 and finished T-3.

In the final round, Scheffler had to fend off Homa, Aberg (69), who was trying to win a major in his first major championship, and Collin Morikawa (74), who was seeking the third leg of the career Grand Slam. The four players shared the lead as Scheffler neared the turn before each of Scheffler’s closest pursuers made a critical error. That’s what Scheffler does. He makes some of the best golfers in the world hit shots they aren’t comfortable hitting. He dragged them into the deep end of the pool to see if they can swim with him. First to sink was Morikawa, who made double bogeys at Nos. 9 and 11.

“Greed got the best of me,” Morikawa said.

Aberg erred at No. 11 too, drawing his second shot too much and it bounced off the bank and into the pond. His hopes of becoming the first Masters rookie since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979 to win the title drowned with that costly double.

“I knew I couldn’t miss left and I missed it left,” he said.

Homa’s tee shot at the par-3 12 th sailed over the green into a bush and he made double too.

“You just know that Scottie’s just going to play well, and he’s going to be there, and you’re going to have to do something special at some point, chip in, make a long putt, and I just didn’t do that,” Homa said.

Scheffler was there thanks to a tidy short game early, a clutch 10-foot birdie putt at No. 9 and some deadly iron shots that built him a comfortable cushion as he signed for a 72-hole total of 11-under 277.

Scheffler’s lob wedge at the ninth spun back to within inches and his approach at No. 10 danced to 9 feet to set up his third birdie in a row. He made a bogey at No. 11 but got the stroke back after attacking the par-5 13 th in two and stuffing another short iron to tap-in range at 14. He finished off the birdie binge with another iron to 9 feet at the par-3 16th.

“He seems to be good at everything. He doesn’t really have a weakness,” Scheffler’s caddie Ted Scott said. “I think people created a weakness in his putting. He’s not a weak putter. He’s a good putter. He’s a very good putter.”

On his way to sign his scorecard, Scheffler paused to give his putting coach, Phil Kenyon, a bear hug and lifted him off the ground. Scheffler won the PGA Tour’s Player of the Year award last season, but a balky putter kept him from what otherwise might have been a historic season. After Scheffler failed to win the Tour Championship in August, he and his agent Blake Smith discussed his putting woes on the plane ride home.

“We kind of look at each other, and I think we both were thinking the same thing. And we both looked at each other, and I was like, ‘You know, I want to see a putting coach.’ Blake goes, ‘I think that’s a good idea. Let’s talk to Randy,’” Scheffler recalled.

Randy would be Randy Smith, Scheffler’s coach for the last 20 years and also Blake’s father. This was a significant decision.

“For me to have to bring in somebody else could have been a shot to his ego and he may not have wanted me to do it. But Randy sat there and he said, ‘You know what, I think it’s the right time.’ We called Phil, and about a week later he came in, had a visit. We worked for a couple days, and, yeah, now we’re here,” Scheffler said.

Scheffler began using a mallet putter in March at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and it has made a world of difference. Scheffler took 109 putts this week en route to victory.

“His whole putting-majig he was going through, I knew he was going to get out of,” Morikawa said. “But to see what he’s doing with his irons is crazy impressive because he’s hitting every shot, he’s moving both directions, and it’s something that I admired.”

That’s high praise from Morikawa, who has been considered the heir to the throne long-held by Tiger Woods as the best iron player in the game. Scheffler has become dominant with his ballstriking. Morikawa’s caddie J.J. Jakovac joked, “It’s probably a little easier to stop a 7-iron or 8-iron than the skinny 5-iron that I hit. But you play with what you got.”

Scheffler dominated the par 5s the way Woods once did, playing them in 9 under this week. He has yet to shoot a round over par this season. He earned consecutive wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and Players Championship before a T-2 in his last start at the Texas Children’s Houston Open two weeks ago on the PGA Tour. He has seven top 10s in eight starts on Tour this season with a worst finish of T-17 at the American Express back in January.

 “Scottie has a way of making the extraordinary look ordinary,” said Golf Channel’s Brandel Chamblee. “You don’t realize until you see his other competitors, these great players in the same spot as him, and they can’t quite match him shot for shot. They can’t quite match him with the nuance, and you begin to recognize his genius…small little differences, but they mean so much around here.”

Scheffler’s won two Masters titles in five starts — only Horton Smith who won two of the first three Masters played has done that faster. In the final round, Scheffler was the player who made the fewest mistakes. He credited Smith with instilling in him the importance of patience.

“I remember being 15, 16 years old and not winning as many times as I felt like I should and Randy would always say, ‘It’s not about who is the best when you’re 14 years old, it’s about who can be the best when you’re 25 years old.’ And he’s like, ‘It’s a long journey.’ ”

That journey has taken Scheffler to the summit of the game and his Masters triumph felt like a coronation for what has the potential to be a historic year.

“I feel like playing professional golf is an endlessly not satisfying career,” Scheffler said, but he will try to enjoy it before he tees it up again next week. “I will go home, soak in this victory tonight. Will definitely enjoy the birth of my first child. But with that being said, I still love competing. I don’t plan on taking my eye off the ball anytime soon, that’s for sure.”

Five Things to Know About The Chevron Championship

How to watch: 2024 the chevron championship.

• chevron-championship
• Tournament Preview
• Tournament News

History and major championships go hand in hand, but perhaps never more so than at the first major of the year, The Chevron Championship. It’s where Nelly Korda, Lydia Ko, and Angela Stanford are among those vying for a major title while also having their own records quest on the line. They’ll be chasing history at The Club at Carlton Woods, where the best in women’s golf will compete for $5.2 million in prize money, the Dinah Shore Trophy and a chance to continue the beloved tradition of making the celebratory leap into the pond beside the 18th green. It all begins Thursday in The Woodlands, Texas, just outside Houston, and here are five things you need to know about one of the biggest events of the year on the LPGA Tour.

History on the Line

Every player in the field will be seeking to be named the first major champion of the season, but there are also a lot of other history-making storylines to follow this week. Nelly Korda is in the hunt for her fifth consecutive victory on the LPGA Tour, and should she hoist the trophy on Sunday, Korda would secure her second major title and match the records of Nancy Lopez and Annika Sorenstam, who have both won five straight events on Tour.

But Korda won’t be the only one pursuing history in Houston. With a victory on Sunday, Lydia Ko would secure the last remaining points she needs to qualify for the LPGA Hall of Fame. Ko earned her 26th Hall-of-Fame point with her season-opening victory at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions. A win would not only give Ko a second Chevron Championship but also a third career major title and 21 wins on the LPGA Tour.

When Angela Stanford decided to forgo a full-time broadcast career to continue competing on the LPGA Tour, she did so with the goal of playing in 100 consecutive major championships. Stanford was extended a special exemption into the field at The Chevron Championship in order to continue her quest. Her start this week marks her 98th consecutive major played, and should she qualify for the U.S. Women’s Open, the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in June would mark her 100th major start, a milestone that has never been reached on the LPGA Tour. Stanford won her first major title at The Amundi Evian Championship in 2019 and then captured the Senior LPGA Championship in 2023.

Club Undergoes Course Renovation

After more than 50 years of being played in Rancho Mirage, Calif., The Chevron Championship moved to the Houston area and its new home at The Club at Carlton Woods in 2023. Immediately following last year’s championship, the club underwent a major renovation that saw all 18 holes modernized in some capacity. A new irrigation system was installed, fairways sand capped and every green was rebuilt to USGA specifications and standards. Expect the putting surfaces to play much differently than they did last year with firm and fast surfaces, in addition to newly constructed bunkers that have been moved closer to the green complexes to further enhance the major test.

Lilia Vu Defends

Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings No. 2 Lilia Vu returns to The Club at Carlton Woods seeking to defend her title. It was at this venue last season that Vu won her first of two major titles in 2023, as she also went on to capture the AIG Women’s Open. Vu defeated Angel Yin on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff and continued the long tradition of making the celebratory leap beside the 18th green to officially bring the tradition from Palm Springs to The Woodlands, Texas. But Vu returns to Houston also looking for a spark as she’s recorded just one top 10 in seven starts to begin the year. Vu, who was ranked inside the top 10 last season in greens in regulation, putts per green in regulation and scoring average, has dropped to 38th, 51st and 20th, respectively, in those statistical categories.

A stacked field of 132 players is slated to compete in the first major championship of the season and features 34 major champions as well as 11 former winners of the Chevron Championship, including players like Jin Young Ko, who won this event in 2019. This week, Ko is making just her third start of the LPGA Tour season. She finished tied for eighth in her season debut at the HSBC Women’s World Championship and tied for 20th at the Honda LPGA Thailand. Ko has kept her playing schedule limited since withdrawing from the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship where she dealt with a left knee injury. Patty Tavatanakit, winner of the Chevron Championship in 2021, and already a winner earlier this season in Thailand, is also amongst the past champions in the field alongside Lexi Thompson (2014), Pernilla Lindberg (2018) and Jennifer Kupcho (2022).

In addition to these major champion standouts, Lottie Woad, winner of this year’s Augusta National Women’s Amateur, will make her LPGA debut at The Chevron Championship. Woad is one of six total amateurs who will compete against the game’s greats.

So Yeon Says So Long

After 13 seasons competing on the LPGA Tour, So Yeon Ryu is retiring from competitive golf. Ryu won six times on Tour, including two major titles – the 2011 U.S. Women’s Open and a playoff victory over Lexi Thompson at the 2017 Chevron Championship. Her last win came at the Meijer LPGA Classic for Simply Give in 2018. The Korean took to Instagram on March 21 to announce that The Chevron Championship would be her first and only start of the season and the final event of her stellar LPGA Tour career.

Who has won the most PGA Tour tournaments?

Who has the most career wins on the PGA Tour ? Let's examine the five winningest golfers in PGA Tour history and their incredible trophy cases.

Tiger Woods , 82 WINS

With a victory at the Zozo Championship on Oct. 27, 2019, Woods won his 82nd PGA Tour victory, tying the record held by Sam Snead. His first PGA Tour win came 23 years earlier, on Oct. 6, 1996, at the Las Vegas Invitational. In Woods' fifth start as a pro, he beat Davis Love III in a sudden-death playoff. Woods holds the record for most consecutive weeks as the No. 1 golfer in the world and the record for most total weeks at No. 1. Woods is an 11-time PGA Player of the Year, which is also a record. He won 15 major championships, trailing only Jack Nicklaus' 18. Woods was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2021. For more on Woods' decades-long dominance, check out this breakdown of his PGA Tour victories .

Sam Snead , 82 WINS

Snead's longevity was extremely impressive, as his career spanned 30 years and he competed well into his 60s. In the 1965 Greater Greensboro Open, the 52-year-old became the oldest golfer to win a PGA Tour tournament -- a record he still holds today. Snead won 82 PGA Tour events and seven majors. He was the PGA Golfer of the Year in 1949 and a three-time PGA Tour money list winner. He earned the PGA Tour's Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998 and was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1974.

Jack Nicklaus , 73 WINS

Jack Nicklaus was widely regarded as the greatest golfer in the world during the 1960s and 1970s. He continued winning majors in the 1980s - with his final victory coming at 46 years old. Nicklaus holds the record for most major championships (18) and most Masters (six), and he's tied for the most PGA Championships (five) and U.S. Opens (four). "The Golden Bear" also finished as a runner-up 19 times in majors. From 1970 to 1979, Nicklaus never finished worse than eighth at the Masters. In 44 majors over that span, he missed just one cut. Nicklaus was a five-time PGA Player of the Year and the PGA Tour's money list winner 8 times. He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1974.

Ben Hogan , 64 WINS

Hogan won nine majors -- tied for fourth most all time -- and he's one of only five golfers to win all four major championships. Hogan was a four-time PGA Player of the Year. In 1943, Hogan was drafted and joined the U.S. Army and over the next three years, he rose to the rank of second lieutenant. In 1946, he returned to the PGA Tour and won 13 events. Hogan was named the AP's Male Athlete of the Year in 1953 and inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1974.

Arnold Palmer , 62 WINS

Palmer was a fan favorite who helped golf skyrocket in popularity. He won seven majors -- with all his victories coming between 1958 and 1964 -- and he was the first golfer to win four Masters. Palmer was a two-time PGA Player of the Year and a four-time PGA Tour money list winner. He earned the PGA Tour Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998. He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1974. Palmer also launched many products, owned and designed golf courses, and co-founded The Golf Channel.

Grand National 2024 result: I Am Maximus wins thriller for Willie Mullins after late surge

I Am Maximus came surging through during the late stages of a thrilling 2024 Grand National to win the race for trainer Willie Mullins , jockey Paul Townend and owner JP McManus .

The 7/1 joint-favourite charged away in stunning fashion after a competitive contest at Aintree to power home ahead of Delta Work and the Rachael Blackmore-ridden Minella Indo, with Galvin in fourth and Kitty’s Light crossing the finish line fifth.

Defending champion Corach Rambler unseated rider Derek Fox at the first fence in a major shock, bringing an early end to his bid to become the first back-to-back Grand National champion since the great Tiger Roll in 2018 and 2019.

It is a second Grand National winner overall for dominant Irish trainer Mullins and his first for almost 20 years, having also achieved success in the world’s greatest steeplechase with Hedgehunter back in 2005.

The victory also catapults Mullins into a three-way battle for the British trainers’ title, alongside Paul Nicholls and Dan Skelton.

"I thought Paul was super on him as I'm not sure the horse was giving him a lot of help on the way round and I could see him just minding him the whole way round,” Mullins told ITV.

"We saw that last year in the Irish National and he has supreme confidence in the horse and he always has that bit in the tank. When he was cut off going to the second last or the last, you saw him coming out around and just biding his time waiting for his challenge to deliver.

"I could see Paul's body language and he was happy, so I was happy then. I don't think I said anything until he got over the last and then I let go (and gave him a cheer).

"I'm buzzing here now at the moment and it's huge. As far as I know our team is back in full order with no injuries or anything and I'm happy that we have a full complement of horses and riders coming back in."

It was a first Grand National triumph for four-time Cheltenham Gold Cup-winning jockey Townend and a third for owner McManus, following the 2010 victory of Don't Push It and Minella Times in 2021.

“It's an unbelievable race and an unbelievable horse and it's a bit surreal to be honest,” said Townend.

“I ended up being first down to the first to give him a look and as he got to the Melling Road he started backing off so it wasn't a great start, but the volume of horses pushed him down over the first three and he got a bit careful on the second circuit but I was trying to conserve as much as I could as well.

"He didn't get the clearest run from the second last to the last, but it kind of helped me and I had a feeling when I got him out he was going to start motoring in the clear air and he did.

"The ones in front of me, I'm sure they weren't looking for me but I had them well in my sights. I was hoping he would respond like I thought he would.

"Gold Cups are Gold Cups and Grade Ones are hard to win. But Grand Nationals are just a bit different. You just need so much luck and I can't believe it, I'm a lucky boy."

As well as Corach Rambler, Mr Incredible and Mahler Mission were among the other well-fancied horses not to compete, while Limerick Lace - the mare sent off joint-favourite following a stunning late gamble - could only finish 10th after a string of jumping errors early on.

Blackmore, who famously became the first female jockey to win the race in 2021, led over the last on former Gold Cup winner Minella Indo, but could find no response to the winner’s late charge.

Blackmore eventually finished third, splitting a pair of Gordon Elliott runners in Delta Work and Galvin, the former going one better than when finishing third in 2022.

Masters winners: Who has won the most Green Jackets at Augusta National?

Editor's note: Follow live coverage of the Masters, leaderboard, highlights and more.

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 88th 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?

• Jack Nicklaus leads the way with six Masters victories. He won his first Green Jacket in 1963. Nicklaus won back-to-back titles in 1965 and 1966, prevailed again in 1972 and 1975, then pulled off one of golf's greatest final-round comebacks in 1986.
• Tiger Woods is second with five Masters titles. Woods burst onto the scene as a 21-year-old in 1997, winning that year by a record 12 strokes. He also claimed consecutive titles in 2001 and 2002, added another in 2005, and authored a career comeback of his own by winning for the fifth time in 2019.
• Arnold Palmer is right behind with four Masters championships (1958, 1960, 1962, 1964).
• Tied with three Masters wins: Jimmy Demaret , Gary Player , Sam Snead , Nick Faldo and Phil Mickelson .

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.
