Why Do Caddies Wear White Jumpsuits at the Masters Tournament?

Every April, the top golfers gather at Augusta National Golf Club for the Masters Tournament, a tradition-rich event known for its distinct features, including the white jumpsuits worn by caddies.

This attire, introduced in the 1940s, symbolizes the club’s dedication to tradition and excellence, creating uniformity that highlights the event’s exclusivity.

Initially implemented to ensure a neat appearance when the club provided caddies, the jumpsuits continue to honor the club’s heritage and foster a sense of unity and professionalism among the caddies.

Beyond aesthetics, the white jumpsuits serve as an iconic symbol, ensuring caddies are easily identifiable amidst the lush green fairways.
