At the dinner hosted by defending champion Nelly Korda, she paid homage to her Czech heritage and was helped by chef Thomas Keller. Talking about the chef, Korda said (via LPGA):

"He was great. I met him (at) Chevron, and he's been a great supporter of the LPGA. For him to do this, it's so special and so cool."

The gourmet spread included Regiis Ova Hybrid Caviar, Big Eye Tuna Tartare, and Cream of Mushroom Soup. The main course was Herb Roasted Wagyu Beef with goulash sauce, with Greek salad, white asparagus, yam gratin, and mushrooms.

The dessert at the Chevron Championship dinner was Ovocne knedliky, traditional Czech fruit dumplings topped with toasted poppy seeds and Tahitian vanilla glaze.
