The MastersTournament History
The Masters is one of four major championships in men's golf
and the first to take place each year. Unlike the other major
championships, the Masters is held every year at the same
location, Augusta National Golf Club, a private golf club
in Augusta, Georgia, USA. The Masters was started by Clifford
Roberts and Bobby Jones, who designed Augusta National with
legendary course architect Alister MacKenzie.
In line with the other majors, winning the Masters gives
a golfer several privileges which make his career more secure.
Masters champions are automatically invited to play in the
other three majors (the US Open, British Open and the PGA
Championship) for the next five years, and earn a lifetime
invitation to the Masters. They also receive membership on
the PGA TOUR for the following five seasons and invitations
to THE PLAYERS Championship for five years.
The Masters Green jacket
In addition to a cash award, the winner of the tournament
is presented with a distinctive green jacket, awarded since
1949, and highly coveted among professional golfers. The green
coat is actually the official coat worn by members of Augusta
National while on the club grounds; each Masters winner becomes
an honorary member of the club. Winners keep their jacket
for the first year after their first victory, then return
it to the club to wear during tournament week each following
year. The tradition that began in 1949, when Sam Snead was
the winner. The Green Jacket is only allowed to be removed
from Augusta National by the reigning champion, afterwhich
it must remain at the club. The only exception to this rule
is Gary Player, who failed to return his jacket after his
1961 victory, despite the club's insistance that he do so.
