The Masters requires caddies to wear a uniform consisting of a white jumpsuit, a green Masters cap, and white tennis shoes. The surname, and sometimes first initial, of each player is found on the back of his caddie's uniform. The defending champion always receives caddie number "1": other golfers get their caddie numbers from the order in which they register for the tournament. The other majors and some PGA Tour events formerly had a similar policy concerning caddies well into the 1970s;<ref name=ccpocd>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=S89OAAAAIBAJ&sjid=-gEEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5232%2C3604711 |newspaper=Toledo Blade |agency=Associated Press |location=Ohio |title=Chi Chi prefers own caddy |last=Loomis |first=Tom |date=April 6, 1973 |page=30 |access-date=September 21, 2016 |archive-date=February 25, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170225224708/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=S89OAAAAIBAJ&sjid=-gEEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5232%2C3604711 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=wcwmbype>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=_LxdAAAAIBAJ&sjid=I14NAAAAIBAJ&pg=4374%2C4318866 |newspaper=Victoria Advocate |location=Texas |agency=Associated Press |title=Westchester winner may bypass events |date=August 26, 1974 |page=1B |access-date=September 21, 2016 |archive-date=February 25, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170225222814/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=_LxdAAAAIBAJ&sjid=I14NAAAAIBAJ&pg=4374%2C4318866 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=tgprfocd>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=IMotAAAAIBAJ&sjid=cpoFAAAAIBAJ&pg=2069%2C2946352 |newspaper=Reading Eagle |location=Pennsylvania |title=Touring golf pros prefer their own caddies |agency=Associated Press |date=May 5, 1974 |page=76 |access-date=September 21, 2016 |archive-date=February 26, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170226034845/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=IMotAAAAIBAJ&sjid=cpoFAAAAIBAJ&pg=2069%2C2946352 |url-status=live}}</ref> the U.S. Open first allowed players to use their own caddies in [[1976 U.S. Open (golf)|1976]].<ref name=ogtpociss>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=Ag9PAAAAIBAJ&sjid=QgIEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5481%2C3359763 |newspaper=Toledo Blade |location=Ohio |title=Open golfers to pick own caddies in 1976 |agency=Associated Press |date=November 15, 1975 |page=17 |access-date=September 21, 2016 |archive-date=February 26, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170226044102/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=Ag9PAAAAIBAJ&sjid=QgIEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5481%2C3359763 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=bkfosm>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=3gUvAAAAIBAJ&sjid=QTMDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4168%2C2139110 |newspaper=Rome News-Tribune |location=Georgia |agency=Associated Press |title=Break for some |date=January 18, 1976 |page=3B |access-date=September 21, 2016 |archive-date=February 26, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170226044434/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=3gUvAAAAIBAJ&sjid=QTMDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4168%2C2139110 |url-status=live}}</ref>
