Exciting News from Augusta: Scottie Scheffler Unveils 2025 Masters Champions Dinner Menu!

In the picturesque city of Augusta, a buzz of excitement filters through the air as we count down to the renowned Masters Tournament in 2025. This beloved tradition, known as the Masters Champions Dinner, brings together golf legends to celebrate the game and reminisce about their victories. Since its inception in 1952, following Ben Hogan’s triumph in 1951, this exclusive event has grown into a staple of Masters Week!

A Flavorful History

The very first dinner was hosted at the clubhouse of Augusta National, featuring nine Masters champions such as Horton Smith, Gene Sarazen, and Sam Snead. Since then, it has become a cherished ritual where the defending champion selects the menu and serves as host for previous winners, including the club chairman, every Tuesday of Masters Week. Along with the responsibility of hosting, the defending champion also receives an adorable inscribed gold locket shaped like the iconic Augusta National Golf Club emblem.

Scottie Scheffler’s Sweet Return

Scottie Scheffler, who clinched the coveted Masters title in 2022, is poised to host the dinner for the second time in 2025. No pressure, right? He’s also responsible for footing the bill. Scheffler has decided to share a taste of his roots with a flavorful and fun menu that’s sure to tantalize the taste buds of everyone in attendance.

The Menu Unveiled

Mark your calendars for April 8, 2025, because the menu is nothing short of mouth-watering! The evening will kick off with a delightful appetizer selection that includes Scottie-Style cheeseburger sliders and spicy firecracker shrimp. Adding a personal touch, Scheffler will also include “Papa Scheff’s Meatball and Ravioli Bites,” inspired by a dish he holds dear from his father. This humorous nod to his past comes from a light-hearted event where Scheffler had a hand injury while preparing raviolis.

If that’s not an engaging story for the dinner table, what is? And in a twist, he replaced last year’s tortilla soup with a hearty helping of Texas-style chili, complete with jalapenos, which draws inspiration from his coach Randy Smith’s celebrated recipe.

Sumptuous Main Course Selection

As guests move to the main course, they’ll be delighted by choices like wood-fired cowboy ribeye steak or blackened redfish. Sides will include comforting favorites such as macaroni and cheese, jalapeno creamed corn, and brussels sprouts. And here’s a fun twist: the fries have been swapped out for chipotle-lime roasted sweet potatoes—a flavorful upgrade!

A Perfect Pairing with the Finest Wines

Now, what’s dinner without the perfect wine? Scheffler will pair the meal with a stunning 2019 Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay and a rich 2011 Vineyard 7&8, Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, both hailing from Northern California. The Chardonnay comes highly acclaimed, boasting a 93-point rating from wine critic Robert Parker for its full-bodied flavor layered with delightful notes of white peach and anise.

Conversely, the Cabernet Sauvignon dazzles with a profile described as “rich and full-bodied,” showcasing the trials and triumphs of the challenging 2011 growing season in Napa Valley.

Looking Ahead: The Annual Amateur Dinner

Beyond the Champions Dinner, there’s also an anticipated Amateur Dinner that takes place the Monday before the Masters, designed for young players looking to connect with past champions. The menu for 2025 looks promising as it features a baby iceberg salad, a lovingly prepared prime New York strip with roasted cauliflower, and promises to sweeten the experience with a delicious triple chocolate cake served alongside strawberry ice cream.

Wines at this event will include a zesty 2021 Radio-Coteau Chardonnay and a captivating 2016 Hourglass red blend. Talk about a weekend filled with world-class golf and irresistible culinary delights!

As the clock ticks down to this much-awaited week, it’s clear that Scheffler’s menu reflects not only his taste but also his cherished memories, promising a truly unforgettable evening. We can’t wait to see how it all unfolds at Augusta!
