The Masters tournament is one of the most prestigious tournaments in golf and one of the sport’s four major championships. It takes place the first week of April at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia and has the tradition of awarding the champion a green jacket. While the jacket is awarded to the champion, they must return it to the clubhouse after one year to be stored with the green jackets of the past in a special room.
Who are the golfers who have had the honor of putting on a green jacket throughout the years?
