Officially, the Masters remains an invitation event, but there is a set of qualifying criteria that determines who is included in the field. Each player is classified according to the first category by which he qualified, with other categories in which he qualified shown in parentheses. Golfers who qualify based solely on their performance in amateur tournaments (categories 6–11) must remain amateurs on the starting day of the tournament to be eligible to play.[4] [Robert Streb](/source/Robert_Streb) was the only professional in the field who was appearing in his first major.

Spieth's total of 270 tied [Tiger Woods](/source/Tiger_Woods) in [1997](/source/1997_Masters_Tournament) for lowest score in Masters history, and he became the first wire-to-wire Masters champion since [Raymond Floyd](/source/Raymond_Floyd) in [1976](/source/1976_Masters_Tournament).[19] He got as low as 19-under after a birdie at the 15th, the first in Masters history to do so, before missing an 8-foot par putt at the 18th that would have broken the record.[20] For the week, he recorded 28 birdies, three more than the previous tournament record set by Mickelson in [2001](/source/2001_Masters_Tournament).[21][22][23] #### Final leaderboard Champion (a) = amateur (c) = past champion Top 10 Place Player Score To par Money (US$) 1 Jordan Spieth 64-66-70-70=270 −18 1,800,000 T2 Phil Mickelson (c) 70-68-67-69=274 −14 880,000 Justin Rose 67-70-67-70=274 4 Rory McIlroy 71-71-68-66=276 −12 480,000 5 Hideki Matsuyama 71-70-70-66=277 −11 400,000 T6 Paul Casey 69-68-74-68=279 −9 335,000 Dustin Johnson 70-67-73-69=279 Ian Poulter 73-72-67-67=279 T9 Charley Hoffman 67-68-71-74=280 −8 270,000 Zach Johnson (c) 72-72-68-68=280 Hunter Mahan 75-70-68-67=280 Leaderboard below the top 10 Place Player Score To par Money ($) T12 Rickie Fowler 73-72-70-67=282 −6 196,000 Bill Haas 69-71-72-70=282 Ryan Moore 74-66-73-69=282 Kevin Na 74-66-70-72=282 Kevin Streelman 70-70-70-72=282 T17 Sergio García 68-74-71-70=283 −5 155,000 Tiger Woods (c) 73-69-68-73=283 T19 Louis Oosthuizen 72-69-71-72=284 −4 135,000 Henrik Stenson 73-73-70-68=284 21 Russell Henley 68-74-72-71=285 −3 120,000 T22 Keegan Bradley 71-72-75-68=286 −2 92,833 Ángel Cabrera (c) 72-69-73-72=286 Ernie Els 67-72-75-72=286 Mark O'Meara (c) 73-68-77-68=286 Patrick Reed 70-72-74-70=286 Bernd Wiesberger 75-70-70-71=286 T28 Jonas Blixt 72-70-70-75=287 −1 68,000 Jason Day 67-74-71-75=287 Morgan Hoffmann 73-72-72-70=287 Webb Simpson 69-75-72-71=287 Steve Stricker 73-73-73-68=287 T33 Bae Sang-moon 74-71-72-71=288 E 54,000 Jamie Donaldson 74-71-76-67=288 Chris Kirk 72-73-72-71=288 Brooks Koepka 74-71-71-72=288 Ryan Palmer 69-74-74-71=288 T38 Noh Seung-yul 70-74-72-73=289 +1 40,000 Charl Schwartzel (c) 71-70-73-75=289 Adam Scott (c) 72-69-74-74=289 John Senden 71-74-72-72=289 Cameron Tringale 71-75-69-74=289 Jimmy Walker 73-72-74-70=289 Bubba Watson (c) 71-71-73-74=289 Danny Willett 71-71-76-71=289 T46 Matt Kuchar 72-74-72-72=290 +2 30,000 Lee Westwood 73-73-70-74=290 48 Geoff Ogilvy 74-70-73-74=291 +3 27,400 T49 Jason Dufner 74-71-74-73=292 +4 25,600 Anirban Lahiri 71-75-74-72=292 51 Erik Compton 73-72-74-74=293 +5 24,600 T52 Darren Clarke 74-71-77-72=294 +6 23,800 Graeme McDowell 71-74-76-73=294 54 Vijay Singh (c) 75-70-79-71=295 +7 23,200 55 Thongchai Jaidee 75-70-80-72=297 +9 23,000 CUT Luke Donald 75-72=147 +3 Matt Every 73-74=147 Jim Furyk 74-73=147 Stephen Gallacher 71-76=147 James Hahn 73-74=147 J.
