The Masters Club dinner, often called the Champions Dinner, is a private event held annually during the week of the Masters Tournament, typically on Tuesday evening. Attendance is limited to past champions and the current chairman of Augusta National Golf Club. The defending champion selects the menu and pays for the dinner. Rory McIlroy’s 2026 dinner was reportedly the most expensive in the event’s history, with an estimated cost of $320 per person and a wine bill of more than $50,000. The menu included such appetizers as peach and ricotta flatbread and grilled elk sliders, while the main course was either Wagyu filet mignon or seared salmon.
What are some other menus? Jordan Spieth’s 2016 dinner featured Texas barbecue, while in 2006 Tiger Woods served steak, chicken fajitas, and apple pie. In 2013 and 2015 Bubba Watson selected a modest menu, featuring chicken breast, green beans, and macaroni and cheese. Some have called it the worst Masters dinner, and Nick Faldo compared the meal to Chuck E. Cheese, a restaurant chain that caters to children.
