Green Jacket Trophy
Tiger Woods Wins the Jacket in 2002
Just as the yellow jersey award isn’t an actual trophy in the Tour de France, the green jacket for the winner of the Masters, isn’t an actual trophy, yet it can be considered one since it is awarded as a prize. The jacket can be kept by the winner for a year and then must be returned by the winner so it can be awarded again at the next tournament. Along with the jacket, the winner of the Masters is given a hefty cash prize.
The Masters Jacket has been awarded since 1949. It is the official attire worn by the Augusta National while on club grounds therefore, each tournament winner then becomes a member of the grounds for a year.
