The most exclusive dinner in golf will be held Tuesday night in Augusta.
Sergio Garcia will serve as host for the Champions Dinner as Masters winners gather for their annual meal on the second floor of the clubhouse.
Ben Hogan started the tradition in 1952, and the early years featured a menu with a main course of beef, chicken or seafood. Now, with an influx of international winners, the menu has grown considerably to reflect the champion’s individual tastes.
Here are some of the more interesting menus in recent years:
1) Sandy Lyle, 1989: Jumbo lump crabmeat cocktail, haggis (sheep innards), neeps and tatties (mashed potatoes and mashed turnips), broiled pompano
2) Vijay Singh, 2001: Seafood Tom Kah, chicken Panang curry, baked sea scallops with garlic sauce, rack of lamb with yellow kari sauce, baked filet Chilean sea bass with three-flavor chili sauce, lychee sorbet
3) Tiger Woods, 2002: Sushi and sashimi, prime porterhouse steak, grilled chicken breast, mashed potatoes, steamed asparagus, chocolate cake with ganache filling and vanilla ice cream
4) Mike Weir, 2004: Lobster in puff pastry, wild boar and Chanterelle mushroom bundles, sockeye salmon tartare, white and green asparagus salad, roasted rack of Wapiti elk, fried chicken, filet mignon, sauteed pompano
5) Danny Willett, 2017: Sunday roast of prime rib, roasted potatoes and vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, apple crumble with vanilla custard, Yorkshire tea, English cheese and biscuits
