Caddy Willie “Pappy” Stokes was the first winner of the Masters to wear a numbered jumpsuit. He looped for winner Henry Picard in 1938 while wearing the No. 12 costume.

The dress numbers started to show up often after three years, and after six years, No. 12 had shown up three times.

Since then, No. 12 has been joined by three other numbers worn by three different winning caddies: 6, 52, and 89. Jack Nicklaus II wore 89 for his dad’s last Masters title in 1986, as did the caddies of Danny Willett (2016) and Sergio Garcia (2017), Jonathan Smart and Glen Murray.

Nineteen numbers have come up twice, including No. 1, which is usually given to the caddie of the defending winner. The only player who didn’t wear No. 90 was Willie Peterson, who played in both of Jack Nicklaus‘ wins in 1965 and 1966.

He told The Augusta Chronicle in 1966, “You know, a No. 1 has never won this Tournament.” “Being able to repeat doesn’t bother me; it doesn’t make a difference at all.” I only want things to be the same as last year.

From now on, players are given numbers 2 through 9 based on when they signed up at the beginning of the week.

The numbers below show how often different sets of numbers were worn by winning caddies:

1-10 – 13 times

11-20 – 12

21-30 – 4

31-40 – 9

41-50 – 6

51-60 – 11

61-70 – 9

71-80 – 8

81+ – 10
