Masters survey 2025: No jeans with green jacket among unwritten rules at Augusta National
Augusta National Golf Club has its share of rules. No cell phones. No running. No such thing as "fans" — they are known as patrons.
But what about the unwritten rules at ANGC that aren't so well-known for the Masters? We asked some players, they answered.
Webb Simpson
You cannot take any pictures inside the grounds and post it on social media. They are very strict with their cell phone policy.
Nick Faldo
When I did TV, you can’t talk about the speed of the greens. They are at “tournament speed.” And there’s no such thing as mud balls.
Russell Henley
It feels like there's a lot of rules. I think the unwritten rule is just it feels like you’re extra careful because you're probably being watched. It’s like no other place I've been in my life, I just feel like I'm walking on eggshells just a little bit because it just feels like there's a lot of rules.
Kevin Kisner
You have to wear socks to eat. I was staying there and I got up to go to breakfast and didn't have any more socks and just wore my loafers and they told me I needed to find a pair of socks.
Matt Kuchar
I was told as an amateur staying in The Crow's Nest that it was tradition to take home a towel. I have no idea if that's real, but I wanted to follow tradition, so I have an Augusta National emblazoned bath towel.
Adam Scott
You can't take the Green Jacket off the property (except when you are the reigning champion). I’d argue that’s not well known because I constantly have people ask me where’s the jacket and they can't believe I don't have it in my possession.
Xander Schauffele
You can’t sit on the range. My dad was laying down on the range the Sunday before the tournament in 2018. He sat down on that little step on the range and someone came up out of the woodwork and asked him to stand. I was a complete rookie and didn’t know you couldn’t sit on the range.
Zach Johnson
Don't wear the Green Jacket in public with jeans. Did that. I think I might have started something. I didn’t know you get to take the Green Jacket with you for a year. Then the morning after I won we flew out at six with my wife and head to New York to do the media blitz. We don't have anything in the (RV) bus so we put a garbage bag over the Green Jacket. Well, they saw that and the next year Trevor Immelman had this beautiful golden and white garment bag and "Trevor Immelman, 2008 champion" inscribed on it and then supposedly inside there, there's like a placard that has do's and don't's with the Green Jacket. I did not have any of that. So I wore it in Times Square with jeans on.
Keegan Bradley
You don't post any social media from the course. Some guys do it, but it’s frowned upon and so I don't.
