The famous Green Jacket on display. This was first awarded officially in 1949 although previous winners of the Tournament had been given it before that date. It is what members wear when they are at the Club for official events. These are meant to be returned to the Club the year after the winner receives it, but famously Seve kept both his, and was not the only one to do so!
Winners of the tournament also win a cash prize, a gold medal and since 1961, have their names engraved on the trophy, which is a  silver model of the clubhouse and it stays at the club. The winners do get a silver replica of the trophy to take home.
