States with the Most Masters Wins

Scottie Scheffler, who won the Arnold Palmer Invitational for his sixth PGA Tour victory last Sunday, is the favorite (+550) at VA betting apps this week at The Players Championship, which starts Thursday. 

Virginia Ranked Below Texas, Others

The Old Dominion fits into the top 10 at No. 7 with three wins (from just one player) and an average to par score of 2.3-under-par. 

Texas tops the rankings with 14 winners (9.3-under-par), California placed second with 11 winners (11.2-under-par) and Ohio - the home of Jack Nicklaus - rounded out the top three with seven winners (7.2-under-par). 

Ashwood, Virginia native "The Slammer" Sam Snead is the lone Virginia winner of three Masters titles (1949, 1952, 1954). In his final Masters win, he won in an 18-hole playoff against two-time Masters champion and 1953 winner Ben Hogan. For Snead’s heroics, he collected a $5,000 check. 

Of note, Coastal Carolina graduate and Columbia, South Carolina native Dustin Johnson is the lone Palmetto State winner with the highest score of 20-under-par in the 2020 Masters, breaking the old record by two shots set by Tiger Woods in 1997.
