With only 22 days left until the Masters, the golf world’s excitement is ramping up. It is especially true after Scheffler unveiled his Masters dinner menu on Wednesday during his official champion’s press conference.
This tradition, dating back to 1953, was started by Ben Hogan, who hosted dinners for past winners.
As the reigning champion, Scheffler will continue this legacy, having claimed his second Green Jacket last year with a 4-stroke victory over Ludvig Aberg.
The exclusive dinner, reserved for Masters champions, will also feature club chairman Fred Ridley as an honorary guest.
The menu will showcase Scheffler’s ‘favorite foods and nostalgic treats’ including a ‘Scottie Style’ cheeseburger.

A unique burger that features fries on the patty, something Scheffler revealed is his go-to order.
“I always put the fries on my burger, and that’s what ‘Scottie style’ is,” Scheffler explained.
“It’s fries on the patty, usually thin patties. My favorite burger place, Burger House in Dallas, has thin patties with cheese in between each patty. I add some melted cheese, throw in the fries, ketchup, and it’s pretty great,” the World No. 1 added.
But that’s not all though, Scheffler’s Masters dinner menu also features firecracker shrimp, meatballs, cowboy ribeye, blackened redfish, and a decadent warm chocolate chip skillet cookie with vanilla bean ice cream.
However, one dish raised eyebrows and had fans cracking up. Ravioli will also be served. This beloved dish holds a special place in Scheffler’s heart, but it should also bring back memories of a painful incident.
Scheffler suffered a puncture wound to his right hand from a broken glass on Christmas night, requiring surgery. That happened while he was at home making raviolis.
As soon as the menu was announced, fans and the golf world couldn’t resist poking fun at Scheffler’s ravioli choice. Despite that, his fondness for ravioli remains unwavering.
‘My dad’s meatballs made the menu,’ Scheffler revealed. ‘ There’s a meatball and ravioli dish that was always my favorite growing up.’ His dad’s culinary speciality, meatballs, will also be featured as an appetizer.
Hopefully, this year’s dinner will be incident-free, unlike the 2024 Christmas mishap.
