Byron Nelson, the 1937 champion, won an 18-hole playoff by one stroke over runner-up Ben Hogan. Down by three strokes after four holes, Nelson played the final fourteen holes at five-under-par to claim the winner's share of $1,500 from a $5,000 purse.[1] The playoff was refereed by tournament host Bobby Jones.[2] Nelson was the second to win a second Masters, joining Horton Smith.

On Sunday, Nelson started the final round with a three stroke lead, with a gallery of 6,000 on the grounds. Hogan birdied 18 to shoot 70 (−2) and 280 (−8) and waited for Nelson to finish the last three holes. Nelson found a greenside bunker at 17 and bogeyed to fall into a tie. He had a Script error: No such module "convert". birdie putt to win on the 72nd hole, but left it short and tapped in to force the Monday playoff.[3][4][5]

It was the second playoff at the Masters; the first in 1935 was 36 holes.

This was the last Masters until 1946; it was not played from 1943 to 1945, due to World War II.
