The 1st Green Jacket
The Augusta National green coat dress code was introduced in 1937 to identify club members. In 1949, the first Green Jacket was awarded to that year's Master Champion, Sam Snead.
Traditionally, the champion takes the jacket home for one year and returns it upon his tournament defense. It is stored at the Club and available whenever the champion visits.
Multiple winners receive only one Green Jacket, unless there is a change in size.
