Following a tradition started by Ben Hogan, reigning Masters champion Jon Rahm hosted the annual Champions Dinner on Tuesday evening.
The menu was released last month and showcased Jon Rahm’s Spanish heritage with an array of high-end tapas and traditional Spanish dishes ranging from Acorn-Fed Iberian Ham Cured Pork Loin to Tortilla de Patatas, and Ensalada de Txangurro to Chuleton a la Parrilla.
Year after year The Masters gets exponentially better are producing social content. I can’t recall a time in the past they released hi-def videos of the meal being served within hours of the special event but they did so this. year with an inside look at the magic that happens behind closed doors.
In the first video, Jon Rahm reads off an invitation to one of The Masters Champions Dinner guests:
You gotta love seeing them all show up in shirts + ties because the green jacket has to stay at the club. The wine served? Bottles of Imperial Gran Reserve (2012) Rioja which is around $99/bottle, a steep price for Jon Rahm who pays for the Masters Champions Dinner himself.
The room is beautiful, sure. But we’ve all seen the room. They release a photo of The Masters Champions Dinner each year and Jon Rahm’s is below. What they don’t release every year is hi-def footage of what is actually being served:

The Champions Dinner photo is part of the tradition. It’s also a reminder that no amount of money in the world will get you into that room for this dinner. Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg couldn’t buy their way into that meal. The only way to be seated at the table is to win the tournament:
