What did 2022 winner Scottie Scheffler choose for the Masters Champions dinner menu?
Every year on the Tuesday before the Masters Tournament starts, the former champions meet at the Augusta National clubhouse for a dinner with dishes chosen by the previous winner.
The Master is a tournament rooted in tradition and the Champions’ Dinner is no exception. Former winners get together to reminisce, talk about golf, family, friends, tell jokes and have a good time amongst very select company.
One of the most curious tidbits of information that is made public about the dinner is what the previous year’s champion has chosen to include on the menu. Some very interesting choices come from some of the international players over the years:
