Overview
- Coverage explains that if Rory McIlroy wins again, he would not get a new Green Jacket because repeat champions keep the same coat.
- Masters winners may take the jacket off-site for one year, after which it stays at Augusta and can be worn there only during the tournament.
- Champions receive a new Masters trophy for every win, and they keep each trophy permanently.
- Tradition has the previous year’s winner present the jacket, but a back-to-back champion would be coated by Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley.
- Only three golfers have defended their title through 89 Masters, which makes the chairman-led presentation a rare ceremony.
