Scottie Scheffler’s 2025 Masters Dinner: A Texan Feast for Champions
In the world of golf, traditions are cherished, and few are as revered as the Masters Club dinner. This exclusive gathering, held in honor of the tournament’s defending champion, is a time-honored tradition dating back to 1952 when Ben Hogan first organized a dinner for past winners. This year, the spotlight is once again on two-time Masters champion Scottie Scheffler, who has returned to curate the menu after a brief one-year hiatus.
For those unfamiliar with the Masters Club dinner, it’s an event exclusively for Masters champions, with club chairman Fred Ridley invited as an honorary guest. It’s a chance for the golfing elite to come together, share stories, and enjoy a meal crafted by one of their own. And this year, Scheffler has put together a menu that is decidedly on brand for the Texas native.
Let’s take a closer look at what the champions will be feasting on. The evening kicks off with an appetizer assortment that includes cheeseburger sliders, firecracker shrimp, and meatball and ravioli bites. It’s a hearty start that sets the tone for the rest of the meal. Next up is a Texas-style chili, a nod to Scheffler’s roots and a dish that promises to warm the soul.
For the main course, attendees have a choice between a cowboy ribeye or blackened redfish. Both options are sure to satisfy, offering a taste of Texas that is both bold and flavorful. And for dessert? A warm chocolate chip skillet cookie paired with vanilla bean ice cream awaits, providing a sweet ending to a memorable meal.
While this year’s menu is a far cry from the Spanish flavor of the 2024 menu curated by Jon Rahm—which included gernika peppers, gildas, and lentil stew—eagle-eyed golf fans might have noticed that this year’s lineup bears a striking resemblance to when Scheffler hosted in 2023. As the saying goes, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. And it seems Scheffler is sticking to what works.
But let’s not forget the significance of this event. The Masters Club dinner is more than just a meal; it’s a celebration of achievement and camaraderie among the golfing greats. It’s a chance for champions to come together, share their experiences, and enjoy a meal that reflects the personality and heritage of the defending champion.
As we look forward to this year’s Masters tournament, it’s clear that Scheffler’s menu is a reflection of his Texan roots and his love for bold, hearty flavors. It’s a menu that speaks to his personality and his journey as a golfer. And for those lucky enough to attend, it’s sure to be a meal to remember.
So, as the champions gather to enjoy this Texan feast, we can’t help but wonder what stories will be shared and what memories will be made. After all, the Masters Club dinner is as much about the people as it is about the food. And with Scheffler at the helm, it’s sure to be an unforgettable evening.
