The 1955 Masters Tournament was contested from April 7 to April 10 at Augusta National Golf Club. It was the 19th Masters Tournament, and the last one before CBS began televising the tournament the following year.
Cary Middlecoff shot a 65 in the second round, including a then-record 31 on the first nine, to win. His seven-stroke victory over runner-up Ben Hogan was a tournament record that stood for ten years, until Jack Nicklaus won by nine strokes over Arnold Palmer and Gary Player in 1965.
Arnold Palmer, a professional for less than a year, finished tied for tenth in his first Masters.
