finished two strokes out of a playoff, shooting a 73 in the final round. However, his Masters triumph did not serve as a catalyst for Coody to become one of the greats in the game. In fact, while he posted nine top-3 finishes through the 1970s and early 1980s, he never won on the PGA Tour again. Coody would play full-time on the PGA Tour until he reached his late 40s. When he turned 50, Coody played on the Senior PGA Tour with a decent amount of success, winning five times. Like most Masters winners, Coody played the Masters Tournament through his old age. He retired from active competition at the 2006 event having played 38 of the last 39 Masters. Coody was inducted into the Texas Sports Hall of Fame in 2000. A college golf tournament, the Charles Coody West Texas Intercollegiate, is named for him. He also lends his name to a charity event, the Charles Coody Classic. Coody's son Kyle was also a professional golfer in the 1980s and 1990s. Grandsons Pierceson and Parker turned pro in 2022.
