The Masters Tournament is filled with legendary traditions, but few are as exclusive (or as mouth-watering) as the Champions Dinner. Held every Tuesday of Masters week, this invite-only event at Augusta National gives past winners a chance to come together, swap stories, and enjoy a custom menu designed by the reigning champ. In 2025, Scottie Scheffler returns to host & his Texas-style spread might be one of the best menus we’ve ever seen.
But who actually gets to attend? Does the amateur field like Neal Shipley, who was the low amateur at the 2024 Masters get a seat?
Let’s break it all down.
🏆 What Is the Champions Dinner?
Started in 1952 by golf legend Ben Hogan, the Masters Champions Dinner was created as a way for former winners to bond over a meal. Hogan invited all the living past champions to dine together at Augusta National and the tradition stuck.
Each year since, the defending champion chooses the menu. It’s their chance to share a piece of their personality and roots with the game’s greatest players.

🤔 Does Neal Shipley (or Any Amateur) Get to Eat This?
Unfortunately, no. The Champions Dinner is strictly for past Masters winners only. Amateurs, even standouts like Neal Shipley, don’t receive an invite. The only non-champion typically in attendance is Augusta National’s chairman, Fred Ridley, who joins as an honorary guest.
📆 When Is the 2025 Masters?
Mark your calendars: the 2025 Masters Tournament runs from April 7–13, 2025.
That means the Champions Dinner takes place on Tuesday, April 8th, just two days before the first tee shots are struck. And all eyes will be on Scottie’s menu and the conversations happening over those ribeyes and ravioli bites.
