Masters Champions Dinner menu 2026
It is defending champ Rory McIlroy's turn to cater the menu for this year's Masters Champions Dinner. He infused luxury meats alongside a combination of British and Irish flavors.
- Appetizers: Grilled elk sliders, peach & ricotta flatbread, rock shrimp tempura and bacon-wrapped dates
- First Course: Yellowfin tuna carpaccio
- Main Course: Choice of wagyu filet mignon or seared salmon (served with traditional Irish champ, also known as mashed potatoes)
- Dessert: Sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream
Despite close calls in 2022 and 2015, last year was McIlroy's first Masters title. This means that he's curating a Champions Dinner menu for the first time.

What was served at the 2025 Masters Champions Dinner?
Last year's dinner came courtesy of Scottie Scheffler. In his second time curating the Masters dinner menu, Scheffler kept things virtually the same.
The notable exemption was a tortilla soup that he served in 2023, which was far too spicy for some diners. In a quote to Alan Bastable of Golf.com, 2016 Master Champion Danny Willett said, "I ate it, but I did look over at Scottie and ask if he was trying to kill us."
- Appetizers: Cheeseburger sliders, served Scottie-style, firecracker shrimp
- First Course: Texas-style chili
- Main Course: Choice of wood-fired cowboy ribeye or blackened redfish, with a plethora of southern barbecue staples, including macaroni & cheese and jalapeno creamed corn.
- Dessert: Warm chocolate chip skillet cookie, served with vanilla ice cream
