Masters are famously called “traditional traditions unlike any other tradition.” But perhaps their most exclusive tradition is the champion dinner. This is offered in honor of the tournament’s defending champion.
Ben Hogan began Masters Club dinner in 1952 as an idea for all Masters champions to have dinner together. The only other person in the room is Chairman Fred Ridley of Augusta National, with the invitation of the winner.
Scotty Schaeffler will be holding dinner this year. His menu at the April 8th event includes wooden cowboy ribeye, family-style macaroni, cheese and chipotle lime roasted sweet potatoes.
