Tiger Woods won his fifth Green Jacket by rallying to win the Masters in awesome fashion Sunday at a wild final round at Augusta National Golf Course.
But he only has one Green Jacket, because that’s how they do things at the club.
The Green Jacket has two strict rules, as well as a rich history explained by PGA.com:
1. You only get to bring it home for the year after your win. The following year it has to stay at the club and can only be worn on the grounds.
2. If you’ve won before you get the same jacket, unless your size has changed a lot. Tiger hasn’t changed all that much, which is why he seemed happy to say “it fits” when he put it on Sunday.
He does get to keep the trophy, though. And gets a new one each time.
So yeah, Tiger, who’s 43 years old, still fits into the jacket he won when he was 21.
He must work out.
