"Green jackets bearing the Augusta National logo are given to each member of the club plus each year’s Masters winner, a tradition that started with Sam Snead’s victory in 1949. However, only the Masters champion may take their green jacket off the grounds of the club, and then only for their one year on the throne."
I didn't know that jackets were "given" to the members as well as the winner of the Masters. So, I'm wondering if the members' names are sewn in the jacket as well as the name of the winner. If so, then this jacket could have come from anyone and not just the winner of the Masters (the article said the name of the "owner" had been cut out). So, I would think the value would be greatly diminished. That, however, hasn't been true in the past.
