The 2024 Green Jacket Ceremony | The Masters

Scottie Scheffler is awarded his second Green Jacket following his 2024 Masters championship victory.

—

Since 1934, the Masters Tournament has been home to some of golf’s greatest moments. Amidst blooming azaleas, towering pines and flowering dogwoods, the first full week of April ushers in a stage unique to golf and to sport. Over four days and 72 holes, the smallest field in major championship golf competes for a chance to capture the Green Jacket and a place in Masters history.
