Scottie Scheffler might be the richest man in golf (or at least among the leaders), but when it comes to the annual Masters Dinner, the defending tournament champion is keeping things simple. 

Scheffler's 2025 Masters menu is the cheapest per plate of any Champion's Dinner since 2015, coming in at an average of just $108 per plate. And while that might seem exorbitant for those of us who aren't into fine dining, it comes up well short of what other Masters champion menus have averaged over the past decade:

Key Takeaways

  • Japan's Hideki Matsuyama, the 2021 Masters winner, owns the distinction of having the most expensive Masters Champions Dinner in history from an average cost perspective, coming in at $220 per plate – nearly 20 percent higher than runner-up Jon Rahm of Spain (2024).
  • Non-Americans occupy three of the top five spots on the list of most expensive Masters Champions Dinners; Patrick Reed (who won in 2018) has the most expensive dinner menu among U.S. winners since 2015 with an average cost per plate of $170.
  • Scheffler's budget-friendly 2025 menu is priced 28 percent less per person than the 2023 food list he built following his Masters win the previous year.

Watson gave his dinner guests a taste of the region, with his Masters Champions Dinner menu courtesy Paula Deen's The Lady & Sons in Savannah, located 140 miles southeast of Augusta. Watson's meal came in at an average of $110 per person, the lowest of the previous decade prior to Scheffler's 2025 menu.

Seeing a Texan win the Masters has to make the following year's dinner guests feel pretty good. Spieth did this tradition right, bringing in the very best from Franklin Barbecue in Austin (highlighted by a carnivore's dream main course). Spieth's sleep-inducing meal came in at an average per-plate cost of $140.

2017: Danny Willett

AppetizersN/A
Main CourseSunday roast prime rib

In honor of the day of the week that provided the greatest moment of his career, it's only fitting that Willett opted for a Sunday roast special as his Masters Champions Dinner. With Rules Restaurant – the oldest dining establishment in London – providing the inspiration, Willett's uber-traditional English feast came in at a reasonable $110 per plate.

2018: Sergio Garcia

CourseMenu item(s)
AppetizersInternational salad
Main CourseArroz caldoso de bogavante (Spanish lobster rice)
DessertTres leches cake with tres leches ice cream & espuma
SoupN/A

Garcia kept his Masters Champions Dinner menu right and tight – and I'm guessing that his guests didn't mind at all. Jaleo by Jose Andres in Washington, D.C., provided the three-course meal, featuring international salad, Spanish lobster rice in a simmering broth and a tres leches cake with ice cream. The cost of this Spanish decadence: $150 per person.

2019: Patrick Reed

CourseMenu item(s)
AppetizersCaesar salad
AppetizersWedge salad
Main CoursePrime bone-in cowboy ribeye
Main CourseMountain trout
Main CourseMac & cheese
Main CourseCreamed spinach
Main CourseCorn crème brûlée
Main CourseSteamed broccoli
DessertTiramisu
DessertVanilla bean crème brûlée
DessertChocolate crunch cheesecake
SoupN/A

While Garcia's menu was as condensed as it gets for a Masters Champions Dinner, no one offered more variety than Reed, whose menu featured multiple options for appetizers, main courses and desserts. Peter Luger Steak House in New York City provided the goods for this mammoth meal, which came in at a sturdy $170 per plate.

2020: Tiger Woods

CourseMenu item(s)
AppetizersShrimp tempura roll with spicy tuna
AppetizersTempura flakes & eel sauce
Main CoursePrime steak
Main CourseChicken fajitas
DessertChurros with chocolate sauce
DessertFlan
DessertSopapillas
SoupN/A

Jose Andres appears to know a thing or two about feeding golf's finest. Two years after heading up Garcia's landmark meal, Andres' Bazaar Meat in Las Vegas was called upon to provide for Woods, whose diverse menu surely appealed to a wide range of palates. And at $140 per plate, the price tag was quite reasonable as far as Masters meals go.

2021: Dustin Johnson

CourseMenu item(s)
AppetizersPigs in a blanket
AppetizersLobster & corn fritters
Main CourseFilet mignon
Main CourseMiso-marinated sea bass with mashed potatoes & spring vegetables
DessertPeach cobbler
DessertApple pie with vanilla ice cream
SoupN/A

Dustin Johnson is a simple man who also happens to be one of the greatest golfers on the planet. And his down-to-Earth nature is sublimely captured in his choice of Masters meal options, which offered some nice variety but were squarely rooted in American classics from Le Bernardin in NYC. The cost was slightly on the higher side at $160 per person.

2022: Hideki Matsuyama

CourseMenu item(s)
AppetizersSushi
AppetizersSashimi
AppetizersNigiri
AppetizersYakitori chicken skewers
Main CourseMiso-glazed black cod
Main CourseMiyazaki Wagyu beef ribeye with mixed mushrooms & vegetables
DessertJapanese strawberry shortcake
SoupN/A

If you're a fan of Japanese cuisine, it really doesn't get much better than this. Matsuyama no doubt won over his 2022 dinner guests with some of the most decadent choices Augusta National has ever seen, highlighted by that Wagyu beef ribeye. It's no wonder the Nobu-fueled meal came in at a jaw-dropping $220 per plate.

2023: Scottie Scheffler

CourseMenu item(s)
AppetizersCheeseburger sliders
AppetizersFirecracker shrimp
Main CourseTexas ribeye steak
Main CourseBlackened redfish
DessertChocolate chip skillet cookie
SoupTortilla soup

We finally have soup! Okay, so that probably shouldn't be the focal point of Scheffler's first Masters Champions Dinner menu, but surely even you were wondering when a soup choice was going to show up. Scheffler did a great job of honoring his Texas roots, fashioning this $150-per-plate masterpiece with help from Pappas Bros. Steakhouse in Houston.

2024: Jon Rahm

CourseMenu item(s)
AppetizersSpanish tapas (Iberian ham)
AppetizersIdiazabal cheese
AppetizersSpanish omelette
AppetizersSpicy Basque chorizo
AppetizersLentil stew
AppetizersChicken fritters
Main CourseBasque ribeye with Tudela lettuce & piquillo peppers OR Turbot with white asparagus
DessertPuff pastry cake with custard & chantilly cream
SaladBasque crab salad with potato

How could anyone not want to fill up on appetizers here? Rahm no doubt tested the self-control of every one of his dinner guests with a stunning array of pre-main options – then made the struggle worth it by serving Basque ribeye and turbot from Mercado Little Spain in NYC. This one was well worth the $180-per-person price tag.

2025: Scottie Scheffler 

CourseMenu item(s)
AppetizersCheeseburger sliders
AppetizersFirecracker shrimp
AppetizersPapa Scheff’s meatball and ravioli bites
First CourseTexas-style chili
Main CourseWood-fired cowboy ribeye
Main CourseBlackened redfish
SidesMac & cheese
SidesJalapeño creamed corn
SidesSoy-glazed brussels sprouts
SidesChipotle-lime roasted sweet potatoes
DessertWarm chocolate chip skillet cookie with vanilla bean ice cream

Aside from two appetizers and the warm skillet cookie dessert, Scheffler's second Masters dinner menu scarcely resembles his first. And if we're being frank, I like this one better: meatball and ravioli bites sound fantastic, while the choice of cowboy ribeye or redfish (from Texas Steakhouse) provide grade-A choices for both meat and seafood lovers. The cost per plate: just $108.
