The Masters dinner menu from Scottie Scheffler is an elite spin on a backyard cookout

The reigning champion delivers with some cookout classics

Give a ton of credit to Scottie Scheffler for how he planned his Masters Champions dinner menu.

After Hideki Matsuyama put together one of the most flavorful and gourmet dinners in tournament history last year, the reigning champion is taking things back to basics, albeit in a seriously elevated way.

And, wow, is it as mouthwatering as any of the dinners at Augusta. In a menu officially announced on Wednesday —nearly three weeks before the tournament begins — Scheffler decided to serve sliders, shrimp and steak (or fish) with warm chocolate chip cookies for dessert.

But even that description undersells things a bit.

The first — and maybe only — question here for Scheffler is just what it means exactly to serve sliders “Scottie” style. Other than that it’s hard to find any errors on this course listing.

Firecracker shrimp? Yum.

Tortilla soup? Sold.

Texas Ribeye with mac and cheese, creamed corn, fried brussels sprouts and fries? Everyone at this dinner is going to need a good, long nap afterwards in the best way possible.

It sounds like the type of meal you have at a cookout on Masters Sunday while watching the best golfers in the world sprint to the finish line.

The delicious tradition (one of roughly five billion at Augusta) for a Masters champions-only dinner goes back to Ben Hogan in 1952 and seems to get better each year. Hopefully the play on the course is as good as the meal served in honor of the winner before everyone tees off.

Scheffler is looking to become the first Masters champion to repeat since Tiger Woods in 2001 and 2002. He would become the 18th different player to win multiple green jackets if he’s able to pull it off, joining a club who last saw Bubba Watson welcomed into the ranks with his second title in 2014.

After reclaiming the title of No. 1 golfer in the world with an impressive win at the Players Championship, there’s no reason to believe Scheffler won’t remain a massive favorite to repeat when he returns to Augusta.
