If you look carefully you can spot them. The Augusta Nationals famous green jackets. It's a tradition that stated back in 1937 when members and later, winners of the tournament could wear it. And we wanted to find out why the Masters green jackets were green.

 

And those attending the tournament had no idea.

Members have to wear them during a tournament so people attending could ask them questions.

But when we asked the members, they had no clue.

The tradition of the green jacket will always continue. But the reason for it being green will always remain a mystery.
