Augusta National Inc.,The Masters

Jon Rahm won the 2024 Masters and collected his first green jacket, pipping Brooks Koepka on the final day, but he has something of a regret over the prestigious piece of apparel

Jon Rahm has confessed he will regret not wearing his Masters green jacket enough - but added it's only further motivation to win a second successive major at Augusta National.

But the 29-year-old did admit to taking his green jacket for granted - and confessed he probably hasn't worn it anywhere as much as he should have. "But, yeah, it is a weird feeling, right? Essentially, it's the only trophy you can't really keep at home. You do get a trophy, but the one that we all care about is the jacket. I think it's something really special to know when you win, that the only jacket that ever leaves Augusta National is that one. I think that's the most special part of all.

Rahm returns to the Masters as a LIV Golf player, having secured a mega-money move to the Saudi breakaway league. But the Spaniard, who has been kitted out in his 'Legion XIII' gear all week, insists he's been great more as a Masters champion. From what I've experienced so far, as a Masters champion, yeah," he said.
