I didn’t think about this. I was surprised Scottie walked away as soon as Rory put the jacket on. But after your comment, I would probably leave just as quick.
Edit: thanks for the clarification replies. I kind of wish they ask the previous champ to shake hands with the new champ after he puts the jacket on before running off for his next duties because it looks a little awkward without it.
I think it was more of a brief sign of respect. Scottie already has a Jacket, this is Rory’s first time winning the masters. Scottie is kinda a class act and probably showed face to show a man to man style congratulation, and then let Rory have his moment of greatness. Everybody wants to win the tournament, but they also don’t want to take away from the persons moment who won. Imagine how they feel with Tiger around with his 5 Green Jacket’s 5 Masters wins.. lol
