Only one man has broken 270 over 72 holes at the Masters.
The 2020 Masters winner Dustin Johnson holds the 72-hole scoring record for The Masters having won by five strokes from Cameron Smith in 2020.
What is the 72 hole record at the Masters?
Dustin Johnson’s 72 hole record at the Masters is 268 strokes. He carded four rounds of 65-70-65-68 to better the previous record of 270 set by Tiger Woods in 1997 and matched by Jordan Spieth in 2015.
Johnson is one of just 11 players including Woods to record four subpar rounds at the tournament on two different occasions (2019 and 2020). Woods has done so on five occasions in 1997, 2001, 2002, 2010 and when completing his last win in 2019.
Johnson also matched Jordan Spieth’s (2015) 54-hole record of 200 during his 2020 win.

Masters Betting
The par 5s obviously play an important part throughout the week and it'll be crucial to make some hay on those as the par 4s are notoriously difficult.
However, it's on those par 4s that this tournament will be won and lost, says oddschecker golf expert Niall Lyons. Read his Masters betting selections here.
Approach play is key as we know around Augusta, with the last three winners ranking inside the top six in that statistic for the week.
13 of the 17 who have made the top five and ties over the last three years have ranked inside the top 10 in strokes gained around the green for the week, and I'd argue that element is as important as the iron play.
The areas around the greens are tightly mown and it causes second guessing with even the best of golfers as they attempt to get the ball as close to the hole as possible for a recovery.
Driving distance has often been cited as extremely important but Rahm ranked 24th in that department last year, Scheffler 16th in 2022 and Matsuyama 47th the year previous.
Driving accuracy certainly appears to be playing more of a role the last couple of years with some canny slopes now on the fairways directing slightly wayward balls into a lot of trouble.
Shorter than average hitters can certainly struggle, but I wouldn't necessarily be looking to the top 10% of longer hitters, simply longer than average will suffice.
Here are the key betting stats from the top five finishers in the last three editions of the Masters:
