Scottie Scheffler explains unique Masters menu after backlash over £84 meal
Reigning Masters champion Scottie Scheffler has responded to the criticism of his Champions Dinner menu for upcoming event, which includes plates featuring burgers, meatballs and chilli
Defending Masters champion Scottie Scheffler has addressed the controversy surrounding his menu choices for the Champions Dinner, which is scheduled to take place on Tuesday evening.
The menu has been met with mixed reviews since its announcement last month, with some questioning the level of sophistication of Scheffler’s Texan-inspired dishes. The unique menu, which includes cheeseburger sliders served ‘Scottie style’, chilli, steak, and meatballs, has been described as nostalgic and personal to Scheffler, drawing inspiration from his dad’s own cooking.
While it has received praise from some, including a “10/10” from golfer-turned-influencer Paige Spiranac, others have criticised it for being too casual for the esteemed event. Speaking at his official champion’s press conference, Scheffler explained the reasoning behind his choices. “I mean, I really love the appetizers,” he said.
“I think my dad’s meatballs are on the menu, and the sliders are the way I like ’em. “It’s my favorite foods, haven’t quite changed too much but there’s a little bit, I would say, more kind of nostalgic stuff.”
The dinner’s price tag of £84 ($108) per plate has also been a point of contention, with some viewing it as overpriced considering the menu offerings.
According to data from Sportsbook Review, it’s also the lowest price ever charged for the Champions Dinner, with Hideki Matsuyama’s 2021 dinner costing £171 ($220) per plate. Scheffler however, remains optimistic that the menu will make for an enjoyable evening, as per the Mirror US.

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
