- BBC Sport published a quiz on April 7, 2026 (updated April 15) by senior journalist Joe Bradshaw asking readers to name every European Masters champion in history
- Augusta National has crowned exactly 10 European winners, with the streak beginning when Spaniard Seve Ballesteros broke through as the first European champion in 1980
- Rory McIlroy, one of the 10 European Masters winners, is featured in the quiz's lead Getty Images photograph, illustrating the caliber of player included in the list
- The interactive quiz is part of BBC Sport's broader quizzes hub, which links to dedicated football and general sports quiz pages and offers push notifications for new quizzes
Why it matters: Naming all 10 European Masters winners is a genuine test of golf knowledge — the list spans more than four decades and includes major figures like Ballesteros, Faldo, Olazábal, and McIlroy, so BBC is using a low-stakes quiz to drive engagement around a milestone that quantifies European dominance at Augusta since 1980.
