Rory McIlroy Masters dinner 2026: Menu, photos, invitation, recap from McIlroy's Winners dinner

Tuesday at the Masters means everyone is talking about one of the best tournament traditions that they're not invited to: the Champions Dinner. Only Masters champions and the Chairman of Augusta National Golf Club (currently Fred Ridley) get to attend this exclusive dinner. The menu is announced weeks beforehand and scrutinized, ranked against past menus, and priced out (spoiler: it's expensive).

This year, 2025 champion Rory McIlroy gets the honor of curating the lineup of dishes, selecting exclusive bottles of wine from Augusta National's cellar and, of course, footing the bill – as is tradition. McIlroy gave quite the zinger in his press conference on Tuesday when asked about the evening to come: "People keep asking me why didn't you go more Irish? And I said, because I want to enjoy the dinner as well.

" While no one knows what is discussed at the Champions Dinner –  oh, to be a fly on the wall –  here are some things we do know about the most exclusive meal in golf. What was Rory McIlroy’s Masters dinner menu? McIlroy's sophisticated menu pays tribute to his home country, Northern Ireland, and his family.

It also features call-outs to Georgia and some of his favorite dishes from around the world. "It was just from the heart and from personal experience, and I guess a little bit of nostalgia for me of what I wanted to serve," McIlroy said. The variety of dishes could be a picky eater's nightmare.
