The Green Jacket is one of the most recognizable and prestigious symbols in the sport of golf, awarded to the winner of the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club.

Origins of the Green Jacket

• The tradition started in 1937 when Augusta National members began wearing green jackets during the tournament to stand out as hosts and offer assistance to patrons.
• In 1949, the club extended the tradition to include the Masters champion, with Sam Snead being the first recipient.

Rules & Traditions of the Green Jacket

• The champion is presented the jacket immediately after winning and allowed to take it home for one year before returning it to Augusta National.
• The previous year's winner helps the new champion put on the jacket during the award ceremony.
• All past winners have their jackets stored in the Champions Locker Room at Augusta National and can wear them only on club property.

Notable Green Jacket Moments

• Jack Nicklaus holds the record for the most Masters victories, winning six Green Jackets between 1963 and 1986.
• Tiger Woods won his first Masters in 1997 at age 21 and received his fifth Green Jacket in 2019, marking one of golf’s greatest comebacks.
• In 1960, Arnold Palmer became the first Masters champion to receive a duplicate Green Jacket, as his original was misplaced.

The Green Jacket remains an iconic symbol of excellence in golf, worn only by Masters champions and Augusta National members.

Adam Scott, who is at the forefront of reunification discussions with LIV Golf, said he wouldn't be surprised if PGA Tour members would be unhappy if it happens.

It’s hard to talk about TaylorMade’s P·790 without acknowledging the seismic shift it caused in the iron market. Before the original P·790 debuted in 2017, “player’s distance” wasn’t really a thing.

I’m not suggesting P·790 was the first but it was inarguably the greatest contributor to the emergence and subsequent growth of the category.

Today?

Player’s distance is the second-largest iron category in golf, trailing only game-improvement. TaylorMade’s flagship model is the talismanic chunk of steel and foam by which other player’s distance irons are compared.

So when TaylorMade releases a new P·790, it’s a big deal.

Golf technologies (sometimes even good ones) typically fail for one of three reasons.

1. The idea is fundamentally bad. You might even call it a gimmick.

2. The resulting product defies expectations in a bad way. It doesn’t pass the eye (or ear) test.

3. It’s a solution in search of a problem. Even if there might be real benefits, often the market isn’t ready … or interested.

And, of course, in many cases, failed technologies exhibit two or three of the reasons listed above.

I’ve had plenty of “pinch-me” moments since starting to work in golf. I’ve interviewed famous athletes, traveled to top-100 golf courses and vacation destinations galore. And how could I forget the mountain of golf shoes I’ve compiled in the process?

But when it comes to that “wow” factor, those things pale in comparison to my time spent recently inside the adidas Archive. Located at adidas HQ in Herzogenaurach, Germany, the Archive isn’t open to the public, and rarely do people other than select employees get to venture down its vast corridors of relics.

Among 40,000-plus items ranging from the first shoe created by founder Adi Dassler to game-used World Cup soccer balls, it was impressed upon me again and again how dedicated, dare I say obsessed, adidas is with performance.

As golfers, we’re concerned with getting better and gaining an advantage. My time spent in the adidas Archive further cemented the idea that perhaps the world’s most iconic sports brand is, indeed, all about performance.

Because I was privileged to experience something like this that very few people ever will, I’d be remiss not to share the three things I learned about adidas’s heritage and how it applies to us today.
