Bernhard Langer is going out in style.
Earlier this week, the 67-year-old — competing in his final Masters Tournament — showed off his one-of-a-kind Mercedes-Benz S-Class with Masters logos and a green paint job.
Now, he has a custom golf bag to go with it. Instead of embroidering the golfer’s name in traditional bold letters, Langer chose a different route — a gold plate with the number “41” to recognize his total number of appearances at the Masters and Augusta National Golf Club.
“On both sides of the 41, each year he competed is engraved,” said Jason Langer, Bernhard’s son and caddie this week.
The feature is reminiscent of the gold and rectangular nameplate that’s inside the Champions Locker Room.
At the base of the bag, the years 1985 and 1993 are embroidered, commemorating Langer’s years of triumph.
