The 1940 Masters Tournament was the seventh Masters Tournament, held April 4–7 at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. The purse was $5,000 and the winner's share was $1,500.[1]
Jimmy Demaret won the first of his three Masters titles, four strokes ahead of runner-up Lloyd Mangrum, who shot an opening round 64 (–8), a new course record.[2] It stood for 46 years, until Nick Price's 63 in 1986,[3] later equaled by Greg Norman in 1996. Although all three of these players won major titles, none won a Masters.
