The upcoming Masters Champions Dinner, known as the most exclusive dining event in golf, is approaching in less than three weeks. Rory McIlroy, the reigning champion who secured the Green Jacket 11 months ago, recently revealed the menu for this prestigious gathering. Among the appetizers are Rosie’s dates stuffed with goat’s cheese, a specialty from his mother.
This annual dinner, officially named the Masters Club Dinner, will take place during tournament week at Augusta National and is a highly sought-after event in the realm of sports, exclusively attended by previous Green Jacket winners. McIlroy’s menu options for the main course include Wagyu Filet Mignon and seared salmon.
The tradition dictates that the defending champion chooses the menu. In 2025, Scottie Scheffler served a selection of starters, including cheeseburger sliders, firecracker shrimp, and “Papa Scheff’s meatball and ravioli bites,” with a humorous nod to a past mishap. Previous dinners have featured diverse menus, such as Hideki Matsuyama’s Japanese feast and Sir Nick Faldo’s simple fish and chips meal post his 1996 victory.
Despite varied menu choices over the years, the Masters Champions Dinner remains a cherished and sentimental evening for the golfing legends. It is a time for reminiscing, storytelling, and camaraderie among the esteemed champions, making it a truly special occasion in the world of golf.
