Scottie Scheffler's 2025 Masters Dinner the Cheapest of the Past Decade
Scottie Scheffler might be the richest man in golf (or at least among the leaders), but when it comes to the annual Masters Dinner, the defending tournament champion is keeping things simple.
Scheffler's 2025 Masters menu is the cheapest per plate of any Champion's Dinner since 2015, coming in at an average of just $108 per plate. And while that might seem exorbitant for those of us who aren't into fine dining, it comes up well short of what other Masters champion menus have averaged over the past decade:

Watson gave his dinner guests a taste of the region, with his Masters Champions Dinner menu courtesy Paula Deen's The Lady & Sons in Savannah, located 140 miles southeast of Augusta. Watson's meal came in at an average of $110 per person, the lowest of the previous decade prior to Scheffler's 2025 menu.
2016: Jordan Spieth
| Course | Menu item(s) |
|---|---|
| Appetizers | Local greens salad |
| Appetizers | Corn muffins |

| Main Course | Smoked half chicken |
| Main Course | Pork ribs with BBQ baked beans |
| Main Course | Potato salad |
| Main Course | Grilled zucchini |
| Dessert | Warm chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream |
| Soup | N/A |
Seeing a Texan win the Masters has to make the following year's dinner guests feel pretty good. Spieth did this tradition right, bringing in the very best from Franklin Barbecue in Austin (highlighted by a carnivore's dream main course). Spieth's sleep-inducing meal came in at an average per-plate cost of $140.
2017: Danny Willett
| Course | Menu item(s) |
|---|---|
| Appetizers | N/A |
| Main Course | Sunday roast prime rib |
| Main Course | Sunday roast roasted potatoes |
| Main Course | Sunday roast vegetables |
| Main Course | Sunday roast Yorkshire pudding |
| Dessert | Apple crumble with vanilla custard |
| Dessert | English cheese & biscuits |
| Soup | N/A |
In honor of the day of the week that provided the greatest moment of his career, it's only fitting that Willett opted for a Sunday roast special as his Masters Champions Dinner. With Rules Restaurant โ the oldest dining establishment in London โ providing the inspiration, Willett's uber-traditional English feast came in at a reasonable $110 per plate.
2018: Sergio Garcia
| Course | Menu item(s) |
|---|---|
| Appetizers | International salad |
| Main Course | Arroz caldoso de bogavante (Spanish lobster rice) |
| Dessert | Tres leches cake with tres leches ice cream & espuma |
| Soup | N/A |
Garcia kept his Masters Champions Dinner menu right and tight โ and I'm guessing that his guests didn't mind at all. Jaleo by Jose Andres in Washington, D.C., provided the three-course meal, featuring international salad, Spanish lobster rice in a simmering broth and a tres leches cake with ice cream. The cost of this Spanish decadence: $150 per person.
2019: Patrick Reed
| Course | Menu item(s) |
|---|---|
| Appetizers | Caesar salad |
| Appetizers | Wedge salad |
| Main Course | Prime bone-in cowboy ribeye |
| Main Course | Mountain trout |
| Main Course | Mac & cheese |
| Main Course | Creamed spinach |
| Main Course | Corn crรจme brรปlรฉe |
| Main Course | Steamed broccoli |
| Dessert | Tiramisu |
| Dessert | Vanilla bean crรจme brรปlรฉe |
| Dessert | Chocolate crunch cheesecake |
| Soup | N/A |
While Garcia's menu was as condensed as it gets for a Masters Champions Dinner, no one offered more variety than Reed, whose menu featured multiple options for appetizers, main courses and desserts. Peter Luger Steak House in New York City provided the goods for this mammoth meal, which came in at a sturdy $170 per plate.
2020: Tiger Woods
| Course | Menu item(s) |
|---|---|
| Appetizers | Shrimp tempura roll with spicy tuna |
| Appetizers | Tempura flakes & eel sauce |
| Main Course | Prime steak |
| Main Course | Chicken fajitas |
| Dessert | Churros with chocolate sauce |
| Dessert | Flan |
| Dessert | Sopapillas |
| Soup | N/A |
Jose Andres appears to know a thing or two about feeding golf's finest. Two years after heading up Garcia's landmark meal, Andres' Bazaar Meat in Las Vegas was called upon to provide for Woods, whose diverse menu surely appealed to a wide range of palates. And at $140 per plate, the price tag was quite reasonable as far as Masters meals go.
2021: Dustin Johnson
| Course | Menu item(s) |
|---|---|
| Appetizers | Pigs in a blanket |
| Appetizers | Lobster & corn fritters |
| Main Course | Filet mignon |
| Main Course | Miso-marinated sea bass with mashed potatoes & spring vegetables |
| Dessert | Peach cobbler |
| Dessert | Apple pie with vanilla ice cream |
| Soup | N/A |
Dustin Johnson is a simple man who also happens to be one of the greatest golfers on the planet. And his down-to-Earth nature is sublimely captured in his choice of Masters meal options, which offered some nice variety but were squarely rooted in American classics from Le Bernardin in NYC. The cost was slightly on the higher side at $160 per person.
2022: Hideki Matsuyama
| Course | Menu item(s) |
|---|---|
| Appetizers | Sushi |
| Appetizers | Sashimi |
| Appetizers | Nigiri |
| Appetizers | Yakitori chicken skewers |
| Main Course | Miso-glazed black cod |
| Main Course | Miyazaki Wagyu beef ribeye with mixed mushrooms & vegetables |
| Dessert | Japanese strawberry shortcake |
| Soup | N/A |
If you're a fan of Japanese cuisine, it really doesn't get much better than this. Matsuyama no doubt won over his 2022 dinner guests with some of the most decadent choices Augusta National has ever seen, highlighted by that Wagyu beef ribeye. It's no wonder the Nobu-fueled meal came in at a jaw-dropping $220 per plate.
2023: Scottie Scheffler
| Course | Menu item(s) |
|---|---|
| Appetizers | Cheeseburger sliders |
| Appetizers | Firecracker shrimp |
| Main Course | Texas ribeye steak |
| Main Course | Blackened redfish |
| Dessert | Chocolate chip skillet cookie |
| Soup | Tortilla soup |
We finally have soup! Okay, so that probably shouldn't be the focal point of Scheffler's first Masters Champions Dinner menu, but surely even you were wondering when a soup choice was going to show up. Scheffler did a great job of honoring his Texas roots, fashioning this $150-per-plate masterpiece with help from Pappas Bros. Steakhouse in Houston.
2024: Jon Rahm
| Course | Menu item(s) |
|---|---|
| Appetizers | Spanish tapas (Iberian ham) |
| Appetizers | Idiazabal cheese |
| Appetizers | Spanish omelette |
| Appetizers | Spicy Basque chorizo |
| Appetizers | Lentil stew |
| Appetizers | Chicken fritters |
| Main Course | Basque ribeye with Tudela lettuce & piquillo peppers OR Turbot with white asparagus |
| Dessert | Puff pastry cake with custard & chantilly cream |
| Salad | Basque crab salad with potato |
How could anyone not want to fill up on appetizers here? Rahm no doubt tested the self-control of every one of his dinner guests with a stunning array of pre-main options โ then made the struggle worth it by serving Basque ribeye and turbot from Mercado Little Spain in NYC. This one was well worth the $180-per-person price tag.
2025: Scottie Scheffler
| Course | Menu item(s) |
|---|---|
| Appetizers | Cheeseburger sliders |
| Appetizers | Firecracker shrimp |
| Appetizers | Papa Scheffโs meatball and ravioli bites |
| First Course | Texas-style chili |
| Main Course | Wood-fired cowboy ribeye |
| Main Course | Blackened redfish |
| Sides | Mac & cheese |
| Sides | Jalapeรฑo creamed corn |
| Sides | Soy-glazed brussels sprouts |
| Sides | Chipotle-lime roasted sweet potatoes |
| Dessert | Warm chocolate chip skillet cookie with vanilla bean ice cream |
Aside from two appetizers and the warm skillet cookie dessert, Scheffler's second Masters dinner menu scarcely resembles his first. And if we're being frank, I like this one better: meatball and ravioli bites sound fantastic, while the choice of cowboy ribeye or redfish (from Texas Steakhouse) provide grade-A choices for both meat and seafood lovers. The cost per plate: just $108.
