The 1960 Titleholders Championship was the 21st Titleholders Championship, held March 10–14 at Augusta Country Club in Augusta, Georgia. Fay Crocker, age 45,[2] led all four rounds and won the second of her two major titles, seven strokes ahead of runner-up Kathy Cornelius, with Mickey Wright a stroke back in third place.[1][3]
It was the largest margin of victory at the Titleholders in a decade, since Babe Zaharias won by eight strokes in 1950.[1]
A snowstorm on Friday postponed the second round until Saturday,[3][4] and the final two rounds were played on Sunday and Monday.[1]
