A Sneak Peek into the Masters Tournament Green Jacket Tradition

The Masters Tournament Green Jacket tradition is one of the most iconic symbols in golf history. This prestigious tournament, held annually at Augusta National Golf Club, has a rich legacy that dates back to its inception in 1934.

The famous green jacket is awarded to the winner of the Masters Tournament each year. It signifies not only their victory in the tournament but also their membership into the exclusive Augusta National Golf Club.

The tradition of the green jacket began in 1937 when it was introduced as a way to easily identify members of the club during the tournament. Originally, only club members wore the green jacket, but it quickly became a symbol of prestige and accomplishment.

Today, the green jacket is one of the most coveted prizes in golf. It is presented to the winner of the tournament by the previous year's champion. The champion is allowed to keep the jacket for one year and then it must be returned to the clubhouse.
