The Masters is a “tradition like no other” and there are many traditions held both before and during the tournament. One of those festivities is the Champions Dinner hosted by the reigning green jacket holder every year.

The Champions Dinner began in 1952, established by Ben Hogan on the Tuesday of tournament week.

Earlier this week, reigning Masters Champion and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler unveiled his Champions Dinner menu.

The dinner will take place on April 8 at Augusta National, with all past Masters winners in attendance.

2025 Masters Champions Menu

Here is Scheffler’s menu selection for the past Masters champions:

The evening begins with three appetizers:

  • Cheeseburger sliders
  • Firecracker shrimp with sweet Thai chili or sriracha mayo sauce
  • Papa Scheff’s Meatball and Ravioli bites

Past champions then have their choice between two entrées: a wood-fired Cowboy Ribeye or blackened redfish. These main courses come with family-style sides:

  • Macaroni and Cheese
  • Jalapeño Creamed Corn
  • Soy-Glazed Brussels Sprouts
  • Chipotle-Lime Roasted Sweet Potatoes

For dessert, Scheffler selected a chocolate chip skillet cookie served with vanilla bean ice cream.

This marks the second time in three years Scheffler has prepared the menu for past champions after winning his first green jacket in 2022.

His menu this year closely resembles his previous selection, with one notable difference: Scheffler has replaced the tortilla soup with meatball and ravioli bites.

Last year, Scheffler won by four strokes to secure his second green jacket, becoming the fourth-youngest player to win multiple Masters Tournaments.

Dustin Johnson had the shortest turnaround to prepare his menu for the Champions Dinner. This resulted from winning the Masters in November 2020 when the tournament was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Johnson’s menu started with pigs in a blanket and lobster and corn fritters as appetizers.

The first course consisted of a salad with family-style sides of mashed potatoes and spring vegetables.

For the main course, Johnson served filet mignon and miso-marinated sea bass.

His dessert selection included peach cobbler and apple pie with vanilla ice cream.
