With the 2024 Masters Tournament approaching, here's everything to know about the highly coveted green jacket that comes with winning the event.
Among the prizes are cold, hard cash, a trophy of the Augusta National Clubhouse and a lifetime invitation to future Masters Tournaments.
The second is that Clifford Roberts, co-founder of Augusta National, figured it was a way to identify club members as"reliable sources of information" to visiting guests who weren't members, as well as letting waiters"know who got the check at dinner."Despite Augusta National opening its doors in 1934, the green jacket tradition started in 1937. From then to 1948, only Augusta National members wore the green jacket.
However, Nicklaus only has one jacket, which he's technically not allowed to take home. Multiple-time Masters winners get awarded the same jacket as before. The only exception to keeping the jacket at home is having the winner return it to the club at the next Masters.One of sports greatest traditions is how the green jacket is donned at the Masters. The usual tradition is that the defending champion slips on the jacket onto the new winner.
