Ever wanted to be a fly on the wall inside Augusta National's Clubhouse during the Masters Champions Dinner? Wouldn't we all?
Well, The Masters gave everyone a snippet of the preparation it took to get one of the world's most exclusive dinner parties ready Tuesday night.
From setting out dishes and flatware, to the final preparations of what is presumably 'Papa Scheff's Famous Meatballs', The Masters Instagram posted a video captioned just "In honor of Mr. Scottie Scheffler."
In it, the tablecloths are being ironed, flowers are perfectly placed and chairs around the table perfectly aligned for the 32 Masters champions that were in attendance. Tiger Woods, notably, was one of three former living champs to miss the dinner because of Achilles tendon surgery. Vijay Singh and Sandy Lyle were the others.
Former champions arrived to the scene, including Scottie Scheffler and wife, Meredith, Jon Rahm, Adam Scott and Trevor Immelman, while a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye was uncorked. Value of the bourbon: Around $1,500.
Green jackets were donned, bourbon was sipped, Gary Player was seen articulating a thought and the final touches on the cheeseburger sliders were made. Scheffler was seen chowing down on one outside of the clubhouse. Phil Mickelson was seen practicing his golf swing on the terrace while Texans Jordan Spieth and Ben Crenshaw shared a moment.
Then came the steaks, the main course of the dinner.
Finally, the doors closed as they all entered the Masters Club Room.
"Private," the door read.
The main course featured Wood-Fired Cowboy Ribeye or Blackened Redfish with family style macaroni and cheese, jalapeno creamed corn, soy-glazed Brussel sprouts and chipotle-lime roasted sweet potatoes as the sides.
The first course was Texas Style Chili with cheddar cheese, jalapenos and corn chips.
Scheffler served cheeseburger sliders (Scottie Style) and firecracker shrimp as appetizers like he did in 2023 after winning the 2022 Masters.
He added Papa Scheff's Meatball and Ravioli Bites to the appetizers, which had pecorino cheese and tomato basil sauce.
For dessert, a warm chocolate chip skillet cookie with vanilla bean ice cream.
