Masters 2025: This financial fact about Scottie Scheffler’s Champions Dinner is the least surprising thing ever

By

Everything about Scottie Scheffler, both the golfer and the person, screams “simple.” And yes, we mean that as a compliment.

Just take a look at both of his Masters Champions Dinner menus, which are nearly identical save for an additional appetizer and a soup switchup:

Simple, simple, simple. Meat and potatoes. 99-mph fastball on the corner. Very hard to find issue with anything on this menu, and for the people that do, may I point you in the direction of Bubba Watson’s 2015 menu, which Sir Nick Faldo once referred to as a “Chuck E. Cheese” meal. Faldo was actually being kind in that description, as there wasn’t actually a slice of leftover, reheated, mishapen pizza to be found.

The most Scheffler part of this meal, though, is the cost. According to a report done by Sportsbook Review, Scheffler’s 2025 meal is the most affordable Masters Champions Dinner meal of the last decade. Sportsbook Review gathers the meal prices annually using TripAdvisor, and the report adjusts for inflation, using World Bank and CPI (Consumer Price Index) data. Scheffler’s menu this year comes out to $108 per plate. 

Only Watson’s Charles E. Cheese menu came close to Scheffler’s cost at $110 per plate in 2015. The next cheapest competitor was Danny Willett, whose menu featured cottage pies, a Sunday Roast and an Apple Crumble, came in at $130 per plate. 

Other key findings from the report included that Scheffler’s 2025 meal is 28 percent cheaper than his 2023 meal, which came in at $150 per plate despite being almost identical to the 2025 version. In other words, Scheffler basically ran it back for $42 less (the previous year’s champion foots the bill). 

The most expensive Champions Dinner of the last decade (and likely ever) was hosted by Hideki Matsuyama, who served a variety of sushi, Miso Glazed Black Cod, Miyazaki Wagyu beef and Japanese Strawberry Shortcake. Cost per plate? $220. 

Of the five priciest menus in the last decade, three of them belong to non-Americans. Patrick Reed’s 2019 menu was the highest-priced menu for an American coming in at $170 per plate. The 2018 winner had two salad options—Wedge or Caesar—a Prime Bone-in Ribeye steak, four sides (Mac and Cheese, Creamed Spinach, Corn Creme Brulee, Steamed Broccoli) and three dessert options that ranged from Tiramisu to Praline Cheesecake. His meal also featured two special wines, a white and a red, which no doubt helped jack up the price. 

Not included in any of the cost is the extra drinks, though we’re pretty positive absolutely zero champions have issue with that extra cost considering they are hosting the most exclusive dinner in all of professional golf.
