Historically, the national open and amateur championships of Great Britain and the United States were regarded as the majors.

He was the first American winner in five years at Augusta, the longest run at the Masters without a winner from the U.S.; the previous four were won by players from Europe, all from the United Kingdom. Though he had yet to win a major, Couples entered this Masters at age 32 as the world's top-ranked player and the odds-on favorite.

George Archer, the 1969 champion, made the cut in his final Masters at age 52 and finished in 51st place.
