The History of 'The Green Jacket'

As the Ryder Cup draws nearer Perry Club take a look at the traditions of the 'Green Jacket'.
Each year, the winner of The Masters is presented with the famous 'Green Jacket' and slipping on the jacket is a golden moment for many winners of the tournament.

So what is the history behind this beautiful and momentous piece of outerwear?

The tradition of the Green Jacket dates back to 1937 at Augusta National Golf Club where members of the club wore the jackets during the tournament so that fans in attendance could easily recognize them if they needed to ask questions.

According to the tournament's official website,
"Jackets were purchased from the Brooks Uniform Company, New York City ... Members were not initially enthusiastic about wearing the warm, green coat. Within several years, a lightweight, made-to-order Jacket was available from the Club's Golf Shop. ... The single breasted, single vent Jacket's color is 'Masters Green' and is adorned with an Augusta National Golf Club logo on the left chest pocket. The logo also appears on the brass buttons."
Soon, the Green Jacket became the symbol of membership in the ultra-exclusive Augusta National Golf Club. Slipping a jacket onto the winner of The Masters was a tradition that began in 1949 symbolizing that golfer's entry into the exclusive club of  the Masters Champions.

Tiger Woods has won 4 masters championships. A golfer who wins the event multiple times uses the same green jacket awarded upon his initial win (unless he needs to be re-fitted with a new green jacket).
