X.com – The menu for Scottie Scheffler’s upcoming Champions Dinner at the Masters has been revealed, featuring a selection of dishes including meatballs, chili, ribeye, redfish, tequila, and bourbon. While there’s talk of new additions like ‘Papa Scheff Meatball and Ravioli Bites’, the core menu remains reminiscent of his 2023 dinner, showcasing his preference for a hearty, Texas-themed spread. The dinner not only highlights Scheffler’s culinary preferences but also underscores the tradition of the Masters Champions Dinner where past winners gather to celebrate.

Not to be the sharpest oddsmaker in the world but Scheffler’s really gaming the field with one big tummy ache this year and it’s genius.
You can basically DQ the international field right now and it won’t make a difference. There isn’t a European on the planet that can handle firecracker shrimp into raviolis into texas-style chili without ruthlessly shitting their pants for the ensuing 48-72 hours. And while that’s a bold strategy, you can’t deny the fact that it’s really smart gamesmanship from the big Texan.
And if this sounds completely unfamiliar to you – the brief summary is that the defending Masters champion hosts a dinner the Wednesday of tournament week every year. And as part of hosting, the defending champ designs the menu without any restrictions. I’ll include some more details on the event below.
For now just know that Scottie Scheffler has full autonomy on what the masters field eats the night before the tournament, and he promptly decided to serve:
- Spicy shrimp
- Spicy chili
- Velveeta sliders
- Dad’s signature appetizer
- Two (2) servings of jalapenos
- Ribeyes sized for a party of 4
- Cajun snapper
- Skillet slop for dessert
It’s Texas Roadhouse with a touch of Bob Chinn’s and again I think it’s a genius strategy.
Specifically here’s how I think the menu impacts the top-15 odds going into the tournament where PP = poopy pants on Thursday morning

- Tyrell Hatton drinks too much to be impacted by a bowl of chili
- Spieth grew up on a similar Texas diet
- Schauffele actually strikes me as a monster hot sauce enthusiast because I think he’s a big stoner and this could actually be a nice meal
After that I think you’re looking at a couple big names that should post huge scores on Thursday and I’m being dead serious.
Ludvig Aberg lives on salted cod and whole milk.
Jon Rahm likes vegan tapas.
Justin Thomas cuts the crust off his PB&J.
These guys are all cupcakes and Scottie Scheffler’s literally going to beat the shit out of them this year.
So do yourself a favor and grab the +350 now before he adds an enchilada appetizer and Vegas really adjusts the action.
PS – Here’s a convenient summary from artificial intelligence on the Masters dinner if you’re into that kinda stuff. Personally I find it fascinating but that’s just me.
The Defending Masters Champion Dinner is a special event hosted on the Wednesday evening before the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club. It’s a tradition that dates back to 1952, where the previous year’s winner is responsible for organizing the dinner. Here are the key rules and traditions surrounding the dinner:
1. Host and Guest List:
- Defending Champion as the Host: The reigning Masters champion is the host of the dinner and is responsible for the menu and arrangements. This includes selecting the food and beverages, with the meal often reflecting the host’s personal tastes and heritage.
- Invitees: The invitees to the dinner are the past champions of the Masters, who are allowed to attend as long as they are still alive. In addition to the past champions, Augusta National members, tournament officials, and sometimes special guests may also attend.
- No Media or Non-Invited Guests: The dinner is a private, closed event, and no media or spectators are allowed.
2. Menu Selection:
- The defending champion selects the menu, often choosing dishes that have personal significance or are reflective of their culture. For example, past winners have selected everything from classic Southern dishes to more international options.
- The dinner is generally a formal, sit-down affair, with the food chosen to appeal to a variety of tastes, but often with a focus on elegance and sophistication.
3. The Role of the Host:
- The defending champion is usually also the one to determine the theme or spirit of the dinner, whether through the food, ambiance, or even the interaction among the guests.
This dinner is one of the more unique and private events in sports, where past champions can come together and celebrate their shared history in the prestigious Masters Tournament.
