In addition to a cash prize, the winner of this tournament is presented with a X, formally awarded since 1949, and informally acquired by the champions for many years before that. The X is the official attire worn by members of Augusta National while on the club grounds; each Y winner becomes an honorary member of the club. Winners keep their X for the first year after their first victory, then return it to the club to wear whenever they visit. The tradition began in 1949, when Sam Snead won his first of three Y titles.

The X is only allowed to be removed from Augusta National by the reigning champion, after which it must remain at the club. Exceptions to this rule include Gary Player, who in his joy of winning mistakenly took his X home to South Africa after his 1961 victory .ID X AND Y.
