Augusta, Georgia ¨C The Masters green jacket, the symbol of supremacy at Augusta National, is among the most coveted items of clothing in sports ¡ª?and one of the hardest to obtain.
Rory McIlroy became the most recent recipient of the iconic blazer last year when he ended a 10-year major drought with a career-defining victory at Augusta National in a sudden-death playoff.
Unless he successfully defends his title, McIlroy will return next Sunday to take part in one of golf¡¯s most closely observed rituals: helping slip the jacket onto the shoulders of the new champion.
