The Masters Champions Dinner is always a highlight leading up to the prestigious Augusta tournament. Golf enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the menu choices, fascinated by the culinary selections of past champions dining in Augusta’s iconic clubhouse.
Annually, on Tuesday of Masters week, former champions gather for a special dinner, with the previous year’s winner curating the menu. Since Rory McIlroy claimed victory last year, he holds the honor of designing this year’s culinary experience.
The tradition began in 1952 when Ben Hogan, after his victory, established the first dinner. The rules stipulated attendance by past champions (alongside Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts), mandatory green jackets, and a strict 7:15 PM arrival, all for an evening of camaraderie and reflection.
