===Augusta National green jacket=== The green jacket is reserved for Augusta National members and golfers who win the [[Masters Tournament]]. Jackets are kept on club grounds, and taking them off the premises is forbidden. The exception is for the winner, who can take it home and return it to the club the following year. Player, who became the tournament's first international winner in 1961, said he did not know that. After losing a playoff in 1962 to Arnold Palmer, he packed the jacket and took it to his home in South Africa. That led to a call from club Chairman Clifford Roberts, who was a stickler for rules. "I didn't know you were supposed to leave it there," Player said. "Next thing you know, there was a call from Mr. Roberts."<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.augusta.com/masters/story/news/masters-traditions-green-jackets |title=Masters Traditions: Green Jackets |newspaper=The Augusta Chronicle |date=9 April 2017 |first=John |last=Boyette}}</ref>
