The1955 Masters Tournament was the 19thMasters Tournament, held April 7–10 atAugusta National Golf Club inAugusta, Georgia. It was the last one beforeCBS began televising the tournamentthe following year.

Cary Middlecoff shot a 65 in the second round, including a then-record 31 on the first nine, to win his only Masters, seven strokes ahead of runner-upBen Hogan,^[2]^[3] and the second of his threemajor championships.

After a third round at even-par 72, Middlecoff entered the final round with a four shot lead over Hogan, the champion in1951 and1953.^[4]^[5] The victory margin of seven strokes was a tournament record for ten years, untilJack Nicklaus won by nine strokes overArnold Palmer andGary Player in1965, later increased to twelve in1997 byTiger Woods. The previous record was five strokes, set in1948 byClaude Harmon and tied by Hogan in 1953. The runner-up finish was Hogan's fourth at the Masters.

Arnold Palmer, a professional for less than a year, finished tied for tenth in his first Masters.^[6]

The Sarazen Bridge, approaching the left side of the 15th green, was dedicated on Wednesday to commemorate the 20th anniversary ofGene Sarazen'sdouble eagle in1935.^[7]^[8]^[9] Included was a contest to duplicate the 232-yard (212 m) shot, with the closest byFred Haas at 4 feet 1 inch (1.24 m) away.^[10]
