The Masters is the most prestigious golf tournament in the world, and what makes it so exceptional is the sights and colors there. Yellow from the delicate jasmine, pink from the azaleas, and green from the jacket that the winners wore are the colors that are represented here.

The white jumpsuits that caddies wore during the famous major tournament are another hue that can be seen that is scattered throughout the course over the course of the four days.

That being said, why do individuals who are employed to carry the clubs of the finest players in the world wear those baggy white jumpsuits that are emblazoned with the Masters insignia while they are at Augusta National?

As a matter of fact, they have not always been a thing.

Following the establishment of the tournament in 1934, caddies in the 1930s wore attire that was comparable to that of the spectators who lined the holes surrounding the course. A letter that was written in 1940 by Cliff Roberts, who was one of the co-founders of the Masters, is where the concept of a uniformed caddie was first conceived, as stated on the website of the Masters.

And even so, it wasn’t until the late 1940s that white jumpsuits started to appear; nevertheless, these jumpsuits were very different from the ones that are worn today.

Back in the day, caddies used jumpsuits that were made from a heavier overall material, like to the ones that painters wore. Today, caddies wear jumpsuits that are made from a lightweight polyester and cotton blend. Despite the fact that the materials have been changed, Englishman Billy Foster, who used to be a caddie for Lee Westwood, who was a former world number one, said that it is not the most comfortable item wearing.

According to what Foster said to CNN in 2016, “It can be pretty uncomfortable and pretty hot…” As if it were a painter and decorator’s suit, it is more substantial than it appears on television. Despite the fact that I would prefer to wear my own shorts, I think that is what makes Augusta what it is.

In order to affix the names and numbers of each player to their jumpsuit, there is a Velcro point on each jumpsuit. On the Augusta golf course, the caddies made a striking impression because to the dark green headwear that they wore.

Even during the par-three competition that takes place on Wednesday, the player’s family members, including wives, girlfriends, brothers, sisters, and children, still have the opportunity to purchase their very own personalized jumpsuits as they make their way around the course.

In addition, winning caddies have the opportunity to request that their jumpsuits be given to them as a souvenir of the successful effort, while the winning golfer receives the green jacket as a prize after the competition.
