Unveiling the Masters Champions Dinner: Menu, Guests, and More

Rory McIlroy's victory has earned him a seat at the head of the exclusive Masters Club dinner table, where he will join a long line of golfing legends. The 'Champions Dinner', held annually on the Tuesday of Masters week, is a tradition that dates back to 1952 when Ben Hogan first invited past winners to dine together. As the reigning champion, McIlroy has the privilege of setting the menu and drinks list for this year's dinner, which promises to be an unforgettable evening. With Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson absent, McIlroy is keen to acknowledge their contributions to the tournament's history. The dinner is a time for past champions to reminisce about their experiences, share stories, and enjoy each other's company. McIlroy's menu features a range of dishes, including bacon-wrapped dates, yellowfin tuna carpaccio, and traditional Irish Champ, all of which hold special significance for him. The cost of hosting the meal falls to the defending champion, but for McIlroy, it's an honor to be a part of this exclusive club. With his Green Jacket and carefully selected wine list, he's ready to host an unforgettable evening.
