THE MASTERS GREEN JACKET


Winners of the Masters golf tournament keep their jacket for the first year after their first victory, then return it to the club to wear whenever they visit. A golfer can possess only one Masters green jacket. If a golfer wins multiple Masters, the original jacket is awarded on any subsequent victory.

In 2017, a green jacket that was found at a thrift store in Toronto in 1994 was sold at auction for $139,000. The original owner’s name had been cut out it, but Augusta National confirmed its authenticity. It is believed that the jacket is most likely from the 1950s based on the style of the tag.
