In golf, the green jacket is a highly sought-after award, with every golfer aspiring to win it at least once. Legends such as Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus have had the privilege of winning it multiple times, while others, like Sergio Garcia, have only managed to secure it once after many attempts. Garcia’s victory came at the 2017 Masters, his 73rd start, where he was greeted with cheers and chants of his name as he received the jacket from Justin Rose.
Following his Masters victory, the champion took the green jacket on a tour, showcasing it at iconic locations such as New York’s Empire State Building, during his Alpine vacation, and upon his return to Club de Campo del Mediterraneo in Spain. However, the most unexpected moment came when Garcia wore the jacket during his wedding reception dance with Angela Akins, adding a unique charm to the event.
Garcia later shared on a social media post that the wedding felt incomplete without incorporating the green jacket into the reception. Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler, a two-time Masters winner, made an appearance on ESPN’s college game day show, supporting his team during the Longhorns vs.
Georgia game and accurately predicting Louisville’s loss to Miami. Scheffler’s appearance in the green jacket sparked a debate on GOLF’s Instagram about who wore it better.
