Besides the famous green jacket that the previous champion gave to the winner of the Masters and a lot of world points to cement his place as number 1, Scottie Scheffler left Augusta with full arms.
First awarded in 1937, the green jacket is one of the most iconic symbols in the world of golf and now means scottie Scheffler is part of one of the most exclusive clubs. He will be able to wear it on several occasions over the next 12 months and then have to return it to the club where it will stay.
Masters Trophy
The Masters trophy is quite large and consists of 900 solid silver pieces. It is a replica of the Augusta National clubhouse and has been around since 1961. It also stays put, Scheffler is happy to take a smaller replica home.
Golden medal
The gold medal given to the winner has a diameter of only 7.5 cm. Engraved on this is an image of the founders in front of the clubhouse. Winners have received it since 1934, the year of the first Masters in history.

Invitation to life
Scottie Scheffler will never wonder what they’re going to do next week in April. He is invited to participate in the Lifetime Masters. When he decides to hang up, in a very long time since he was only 25, he will be invited to the dinner of former champions and to several other ceremonies.
Full of world points
After Ian Woosnam in 1991, Fred Couples in 1992, Tiger Woods in 2001 and 2002, Dustin Johnson in 2020, Scheffler became the 5th number 1 in the world who managed to win the Masters. The number 2 in the world, Jon Rahmfailed to do better than 27th place and as a result Scheffler now has a comfortable lead.
Multiple exemptions
In addition to his lifetime exemption from the Masters, Scheffler will start at every major for the next five years. He also no longer has to worry about keeping his card on the PGA tour for 5 years.
Ryder Cup Points
If in doubt about his selection in the US team of Ryder Cup in 2021, this will no longer be the case in Rome in 2023. It’s already certain. Last year, he took part in the big win for the US, bringing back 2.5 points in 3 games, most notably beating Jon Rahm in singles.
FedEx Cup Points
Already at the top of the FedExCup with three wins to date in the 6 weeks leading up to the Masters, the Texan is taking it a little more, but we know that the Playoffs this summer will determine the title of No. 1 on the American circuit. If he doesn’t finish as the winner of the FedEx Cup, many will question the points system and rightly so.
