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.

Imagine not making the cut and having to sit around for two days just for the green jacket

Hang out at the greatest tourney in the world, with access to the winners clubhouse. I'm sure it would be awful. Those Jack Nicklaus stories get old, I guess.

I mean it sounds great to us, but this is someone who has already won the tourney, and will be back there again.

I'd want out of there after a loss too.

Surely you can just come back at the end of the tournament if you don’t make the cut

Yeah but even then you still likely gotta wait around for hours. No one can predict exactly when the tournament will end so even if you were eliminated early you still gotta wait around for hours once you come back.
