The Masters gnome debuted in the garden section of tournament pro shop in 2016, dressed in golf-themed Masters attire and sold for about $50. The gnome didn't return in 2017, but it came back in 2018 and has been a staple ever since.

Since 2018, the 13.5-inch gnome has become the most-coveted collectible item at the Masters. It is the lone item sold on site that is limited to one per person.

There have been different outfits for each year's gnome, debuting wearing an argyle sweater. There's been a gnome in an Augusta National caddy outfit in 2018, wearing Christmas sweater in 2020, donning a slew of Masters badges in 2021 and holding a Georgia peach ice cream sandwich from the tournament concessions in 2025.

In 2026, the gnome is wearing a blue Masters vest, and there are rumors swirling that this could be the last year for it.

See the Masters gnomes from every year, starting in 2016 and going through 2026.
