It’s a lot of pressure, with the world’s best players eating whatever you choose for them.

Following his 2025 Masters victory, Scottie Scheffler had the honor of setting the menu for the Champions Dinner in 2025 – or Masters Club Dinner, as it’s officially known – and it was very similar to his 2023 offering.

It all sounds delicious, but how does it compare with Champions Dinners of previous years? (And whose did Sir Nick Faldo describe as “the worst” and compare to a kids’ menu?)
