This is no normal tournament, and a proper Sunday outfit poses a unique dilemma. It must look good on camera, and it must be respectful of the genteel Augusta National Golf Club ambiance. But just as important, it must pair with the green jacket that’s awarded to the champion on Sunday.
“I’ve pictured myself wearing a green jacket many times, not only wearing this,” said Swedish golfer Ludvig Aberg, who was sporting yellow-and-green Adidas gear, cornerstones of his Masters week color palette. “Hopefully it goes well together and we can sit here on Sunday.”
The images from the green jacket ceremony are iconic, cringy and everything in between. There’s Tiger Woods in red and Jack Nicklaus in a soft yellow. Phil Mickelson in all-black, Bubba Watson in all-white and Bernhard Langer, for some reason, sporting all-red in 1985.
Nick Faldo wore a shirt that featured the abstract image of a golfer in 1990, while Ben Crenshaw’s whimsical shirt in 1995 depicted a collection of old photographs of Bobby Jones, which probably seemed like a good idea at the time. Patrick Reed’s loud magenta polo in 2018, meanwhile, seemed like a bad idea at the time — and still does. And Ian Woosnam’s Sunday fit in 1991 — a newly won green jacket paired with red tartan pants — was better suited for a holiday party in December than Butler Cabin in April.
