It's one of the most iconic notions in sport, but few realise why.
The Masters winner donning a green jacket is a sight synonymous with Augusta, with Scottie Scheffler the last player to enjoy the honour after his maiden major win 12 months ago. Brooks Koepka and Jon Rahm are both gunning for their first win at the famous venue and the taking of the green jacket for the first time.
Only 54 players have enjoyed the honour since it was introduced in 1937, with Jack Nicklaus holding the record with six wins. Tiger Woods is behind him on five, however he won't be adding to that this week after being forced to withdraw from the tournament with injury on Sunday morning.
