Scottie Scheffler's trophy case seems to be filling up rather quickly with his incredible performances, including two Masters Tournament titles and his most recent PGA Championship win last week. When asked to pick the coolest piece of memorabilia he's ever gotten from his victories, he had a bittersweet answer.
During a pre-tournament conference of this week's Charles Schwab Challenge, Scheffler revealed that the prestigious Green Jackets he earned from his Masters Tournament victories are the ones he holds closest to his heart. As the winners of the Major championship are required to surrender the garment if they don't win the next edition.
Since this year Rory McIlroy won the Masters, Scheffler had to return his green jacket. The PGA Tour pro spoke about the same and stated that giving it back this year was "tough". (via YouTube 6:32 - 7:20):
"I guess the coolest piece of memorabilia I got to give back when you donβt win the tournament is probably the green jacket. I mean, thatβs always tough β having to give that one back...I think itβs hard to find a cooler piece of golf memorabilia than the green jacket, but sadly itβs not in my possession currently."
Scottie Scheffler also revealed that winners of the Masters Tournament are only allowed to wear the Green Jacket while on premisis at Augusta National in Georgia. He looks forward to wearing the garment every year at the traditional Champions Dinner, where all past winners gather to honor the game of golf.
