green jacket

Masters winner's prize

A green jacket is the prize awarded to the winner of the Masters Tournament, golf's most prestigious major championship held annually at Augusta National Golf Club.

The distinctive kelly green blazer has become synonymous with the tournament itself: Every golfer dreams of slipping on the green jacket.

Members of Augusta National also wear the jacket as a symbol of club membership.
