Former Masters champion Trevor Immelman shared his thoughts on Scottie Scheffler's champions dinner at the Augusta National. The Masters Tournament is the first major of the PGA Tour season, and it starts on Thursday, followed by a grand dinner during the same week thrown by the defending champion.

Since Scheffler clinched the trophy last year, it was his turn to throw the dinner this year, and the Texan had a Scottie-style cuisine for the dinner party, including cheeseburger sliders, chilli, steak, and meatballs. Immelman, who was a part of the dinner, shared an image from the event where all the players were wearing their green jackets, with his caption reading:

“Amazing night….Scottie is a great host!”

Scottie Scheffler was the host of the $108-per-plate dinner in the 2025 Masters Tournament. He shared how the dinner was inspired by his dad’s cooking and what other factors made him select his menu. As quoted by The Mirror, he said:

“I mean, I really love the appetizers…I think my dad's meatballs are on the menu, and the sliders are the way I like 'em…It's my favorite foods, haven't quite changed too much but there's a little bit, I would say, more kind of nostalgic stuff…Then the soup, my coach (Randy Smith) makes the best chilli.”

“So I think they are trying to use his recipe for the chilli inspiration. So that's really fun, those two things, and then I think we're doing ribeye again, and some red fish and tequila and bourbon this time…It should be a fun night, fun meal, and very excited about being able to host a Champion's Dinner again and very excited to see how it's prepared and what the chefs at Augusta pull off this year," he added.

Scheffler shot 11 under 277 to win the Masters Tournament last year, scoring 66 in the first round of the event after shooting two birdies on the front nine and four on the back nine. In the next round, he fired 72 with three birdies. In the third and fourth rounds, the golfer shot 71 and 68 with four birdies along with an eagle and seven birdies, respectively.
