Nelly Korda's Chevron champions dinner menu includes nod to her Czech roots
Before Nelly Korda steps foot on property to begin her title defense at the Chevron Championship, she had something important to plan – Monday's dinner.
While the Chevron's champions dinner tradition isn't as well-known as the Masters, the chef who curates the menu each year is world-renowned. Thomas Keller, owner of The French Laundry and once named the Best Chef in America, is again at the helm of the annual affair.
Some past champions make their way to the dinner via helicopter from the driving at The Club at Carlton Woods. Others arrive in a Rolls-Royce.
What is on Nelly Korda's Chevron Championship champions dinner menu?
Korda's 2025 dinner begins with Regiis Ova Hybrid Caviar and Big Eye Tuna Tartare followed by cream of mushroom soup. The main dish, herb roasted filet of American Wagyu Beef from Snake River Farms served with a goulash sauce, will be accompanied by a Greek deli salad, asparagus, garnet yam gratin and glazed mushrooms.
And for dessert, a nod to her roots, players will be served traditional Czech fruit dumplings with toasted poppy seed and a Tahitian vanilla anglaise.
'Whenever I'm back in Czech I'm usually there around my birthday,' said Korda from the LA Championship. 'If I do celebrate, that's my birthday cake.
'And I just love fruit filled dumplings. That's pretty much what it is. Something that I grew up eating and I just really, really love it. My grandma makes it so probably my grandma. That's the best one I've ever had.'
The LPGA's first majors of the season kicks off April 24 at the Jack Nicklaus Signature Course.

The ‘Taylor's Version' Era Is Over. Swifties Are Relieved.
When Taylor Swift announced last week that she bought her early master recordings from Shamrock Capital Advisors, gaining control of her first six albums, she was quick to anticipate a question from her fans. 'I know, I know. What about Rep TV?' Swift wrote on her website, referring to the shorthand for 'Reputation (Taylor's Version),' the anticipated rerelease of her sixth studio album. 'Full transparency: I haven't even re-recorded a quarter of it.'

Who's next on Max Homa's bag? The caddie carousel has been busy of late
Who's next on Max Homa's bag? The caddie carousel has been busy of late Trying to keep up with the caddie carousel on the PGA Tour always has been a fool's errand but it has been particularly tricky of late. As is usually the case, all it takes is one domino to fall, and the caddie yard is in a state of flux. It was late March when caddie Joe Greiner split with his childhood buddy Max Homa after six Tour victories together for the good of their friendship. Homa quickly hooked up with veteran caddie Bill Harke, who was working as a swing instructor in the Bay Area and assistant coach to his partner — former LPGA pro Beth Allen — at Division II Academy of Art University in San Francisco. This all came at the recommendation of Jim 'Bones' Mackay. Greiner ended up spelling injured caddie Matt 'Rev' Minister for Justin Thomas at the Masters and when they won together at the RBC Heritage, JT's first victory in three years, rumors circulated that Greiner might go full-time with JT but he put the kibosh on those rumors quickly and Minister, who had replaced Bones a year earlier, returned at the PGA Championship. But it didn't take Greiner long to find a new full-time bag, hooking up with Collin Morikawa, the two-time major winner who has been battling his own winless drought. J.J. Jakovac had been Morikawa's only bagman since turning pro in 2019. JJ turned up as a fill-in on Matt Wallace's bag for one week at the Charles Schwab Challenge before landing a full-time gig with promising rookie Michael Thorbjornsen. (He failed at U.S. Open Final Qualifying and withdrew from the RBC Canadian Open this week, citing a wrist injury.) Jakovac slid into the job formerly held by Lance Bennett, who had been caddying for Tiger Woods before his latest injury sidelined him. Thorbjornsen shares the same management company, Excel Sports Management, as Woods and Homa. After Homa parted ways with Harke on Sunday following the Memorial, he carried his own bag during Monday's 36-hole U.S. Open qualifier and lost in a playoff. Who did Homa ring to handle caddie duties this week at the RBC Canadian Open? None other than Bennett. It's unclear what Homa's plans are beyond this week but stay tuned. The caddie carousel doesn't appear to be slowing down any time soon.

TaylorMade Launches Qi35 Designer Series in Gold and Platinum
After debuting its Qi35 line earlier this year—already in play by the likes of Nelly Korda andCollin Morikawa—TaylorMadeis adding a bold twist. Enter the Designer Series, a trio of limited-run drivers that just might be the brand's most striking yet. The lineup includes a stealthy all-black version (always a safe bet), but the true standouts are the new satin gold and platinum finishes. From address, both offer a sleek, surprisingly classic look—attention-grabbing without veering into overly flashy territory thanks to the muted satin sheen. Flip them over and the soles turn up the contrast, blending metallic and matte elements with black accents. Branding stays in line with the standard Qi35 aesthetic. Each club comes with a premium black headcover, finished with metallic Qi35 branding in gold or platinum. 'The cool thing about Designer Series is that we can only do this in limited quantities, and that allows us to do something outside the norm,' said Robert Nunez, a product designer at TaylorMade. 'Whether it's how paints and pigments are sourced, how they're applied, or drawing inspiration from different places like aeronautics or the automobile industry, it's a continual learning and evolution process.' TheTaylorMadeDesigner Series Qi35 drivers are available now in both standard and Max heads for $650 USD.
