American golfer Scottie Scheffler he won the Masters Tournament in Augusta, one of the four Majors, the most important tournaments in men’s professional golf. By winning the tournament, in addition to a substantial cash prize Scheffler also received the green jacket, the signature bright green jacket of members of Augusta National, one of the most exclusive golf clubs in the world, traditionally awarded to Masters winners. Over the years, the jacket has become a symbol of success and prestige in golf.
Scheffler, 27 years old, is probably the strongest golfer of the moment and the number one in world ranking of sport by a large margin. He had been among the favorites at the tournament right from the start, together with the Spaniard Jon Rahm, winner of the previous edition, the American Tiger Woods, five times winner of the Masters, and the Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy, number two in the ranking (who, however, so far has not never won the Augusta Masters).
