What Is the Masters Champions Dinner
The Masters Champions Dinner is an annual dinner hosted by the defending Masters champion at Augusta National Golf Club. It takes place on the Tuesday before the Masters Tournament and is limited to past Masters champions and invited guests.
History and Tradition
The dinner began in 1952 when Ben Hogan hosted the first gathering for former champions. Since then, it has become a key Masters tradition, with each host choosing a menu that often reflects their personal background or regional cuisine.
Format and Purpose
The event is a private, invitation-only dinner held inside Augusta National. Past champions use the occasion to share memories, discuss the course, and celebrate the history of the tournament. The dinner is not open to the public or media.
