At the The Masters Tournament, the iconic green jacket awarded to the champion is the most recognizable prize—but far from the only one. Held at Augusta National Golf Club, the tournament distributes a range of awards that recognize performance across different categories, many of which are rarely discussed but carry their own prestige. The Green Jacket Isn’t the Only Prize Since 1949, winners of The Masters have received the green jacket, a symbol of excellence in professional golf. However, champions also receive: A sterling replica of the Masters Trophy A gold medal featuring Augusta National imagery Their name engraved on the permanent Masters Trophy kept at the club These awards have been part of the tournament tradition since the early 1990s. Runner-Up and Amateur Recognition The runner-up is also honored with: A silver medal A silver salver (added in 1978) Engraving on the permanent trophy Meanwhile, the low amateur—an important tradition reflecting the tournament’s roots—receives a silver cup. This award is given only if an amateur completes all four rounds and posts the lowest score among amateurs. Performance-Based Awards Beyond final standings, players can earn additional awards for specific achievements during the tournament: Eagle (2-under-par on a hole): Crystal highball glasses Lowest round score: Crystal vase Hole-in-one: Large crystal bowl Double eagle (albatross): The rarest prize, another crystal bowl The double eagle award stands out as the most exclusive, having occurred only four times in tournament history. The Rarest Feat in Masters History A double eagle (3-under-par on a single hole) is extraordinarily rare. One of the most famous moments came from Gene Sarazen in 1935, whose legendary shot on the 15th hole—often called the “shot heard ’round the world”—helped him win the tournament and complete a career Grand Slam. Other players who achieved this feat include: Bruce Devlin (1967) Jeff Maggert (1994) Louis Oosthuizen (2012) A Tournament Rich in Symbolism From crystal glasses to engraved trophies, The Masters blends tradition, exclusivity, and symbolism in its awards structure. While the green jacket remains the ultimate prize, the tournament’s broader award system highlights excellence across every level of performance. In many ways, these lesser-known awards reinforce what makes The Masters unique: it’s not just about winning—it’s about recognizing greatness in all its forms.
