People around the world think that the Masters Tournament and its annual Champions Dinner are two of the most important and well-known golf events in the world. Every year, the defending champion gets to choose the menu for the dinner, which is held on the Tuesday of Masters week.
Best Masters dinner menus
Here are the five best Masters dinner menus ranked:
5) 2017 - Sergio Garcia's Spanish-themed feast
The Masters was the first major title that Sergio Garcia won in 2017. He did so in 2017. He commemorated the event by throwing a lunch with a Spanish flavor for his guests. Gazpacho, a traditional cold Spanish soup composed of tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers; grilled octopus and prawns in a salad; and Iberian ham were all items that were available for purchase at the restaurant.
The main course consisted of arroz caldoso de bogavante, which is a rice dish made with lobster broth. After dinner, there was a dessert course consisting of three traditional Spanish sweets. Rory McIlroy was quoted as saying,
"I've never attended a nicer Champions Dinner," and the other golfers in attendance agreed with him.
4) 2018 - Patrick Reed's southern comfort food
Patrick Reed's meals for the 2018 Champions Banquet were based on the food he ate as a child in the South. The main courses consisted of filet mignon and chicken-fried steak, among other things. Cornbread, macaroni, cheese, and smoked beef brisket were some of the snacks that were provided. Both peach cobbler and vanilla ice cream were available to finish off the meal.
According to Bubba Watson, Reed's Champions Dinner was "among the greatest we've ever had." This fact serves as evidence that Reed's food was a hit with the other golfers.
3) 2009 - Angel Cabrera's Argentine feast
Angel Cabrera threw a party with Argentinian food and decorations after he won the 2009 Masters. The appetizers consisted of blood sausage, empanadas, and chorizo that had been grilled. As the main course, you could choose between beef tenderloin or pork chops topped with chimichurri sauce and grilled. Dessert was dulce de leche, a caramel-like dessert staple in Argentine cuisine.
Phil Mickelson reported that the other golfers concurred that the Champions Dinner was "one of the nicest we've ever had." Phil Mickelson was the winner of the tournament.
2) 2012 - Bubba Watson's southern barbecue
At the 2012 Champions Dinner, Bubba Watson, who hails from the South and is a fan of barbecue, was given a dish that was prepared especially for him. In addition to traditional southern sides like mac and cheese and collard greens, there was a selection of smoked chicken, pulled pork, and ribs served as an appetizer. There was also a range of other meats available.
The entrees included beef tenderloin, chicken breast barbecued on the grill, mashed potatoes with garlic, and green beans. According to Golf Digest, it was somewhat reminiscent of a dessert consisting of white chocolate, raspberries, and vanilla bean ice cream.
The notoriously picky Tiger Woods thought the meal was "amazing" and gushed about it to the other golfers he was playing with at the time.
1) 2015 - Jordan Spieth's Texas-inspired menu
Jordan Spieth celebrated his first green jacket victory in 2015 by hosting a meal that paid tribute to the state of Texas, where he was born and raised. Beef brisket, chicken, and sausage from a Texas-style barbecue were served as appetizers alongside a kale salad, which included grilled peaches and candied pecans.
The barbecue was prepared in the style of Texas. You could get smoked beef tenderloin or grilled halibut with green beans as a side dish during the main course, and then for dessert, you might get a warm chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream. Even the finest golfer in the world, Rory McIlroy, referred to the meal as "wonderful" after eating it.
Conclusion
The Masters Champions Dinner is as well-known as the tournament itself and has been going on for decades. The current winner determines the menu, and over the years there have been many fantastic ones. From Sergio Garcia's Spanish feast to Jordan Spieth's Tex-Mex fare, all of the golfers enjoyed the five best Masters dinners.
These meals before the competition not only honor the winner from the year before but also give the golfers a chance to get to know each other. It's always interesting to see what delicious treats the tournament winners serve their guests.
