Well, the rest of you just didn't buzz in fast enough it appears!!! Sandra takes the FT Purple Jacket as the prize!

To expand on some of the answers for those of you who are curious:

In 1937, club members began to wear the green jackets. Each new Masters champion wins a jacket and is helped into it by the previous year's winner. The champion takes it home for a year and only wears it for golf-related events and social gatherings. No one seems to know where the idea for the jacket originated, but Snead was, indeed, the first to obtain this famous symbol!

In 1963, Nickalaus won his first of six Masters, and in 1975, he became the first 5 time winner. It was in 1986 that he became the oldest winner with his 6th win.

Each hole is named after a plant or tree. This is because the property was once an indigo plantation. It was also purchased by a horticulturist who operated Fruitlands Nurseries (an importer of many trees and plants from various countries).

Palmer did win the most wins, but what makes it especially interesting is that it was every even year from 1958 to 1964.

Great job, Sandra!
