The 1955 Masters Tournament was contested from April 7 to April 10 at Augusta National Golf Club. It was the 19th Masters Tournament.
Cary Middlecoff shot a 65 in the second round, including a then-record 31 on the first nine, to win. At the time, his seven-stroke victory over Ben Hogan was a Tournament record. It was not broken until 1965 when Jack Nicklaus won by a nine-stroke margin over Arnold Palmer and Gary Player.
Arnold Palmer finished tied for 10th. This was the first time he played in the Masters.
