Scottie Scheffler reveals his second Masters Champions Dinner menu, minus one 'way too spicy' item

NBC Sports19-03-2025

This would be a good game of 'spot the differences.' Scottie Scheffler revealed Wednesday his Champions Dinner menu at this year's Masters Tournament.

The Champions Dinner is held annually the Tuesday of Masters week. The reigning champion picks the menu, which is what Scheffler did in 2023 as the '22 champ.
Here's what he had then:
Looks pretty similar. One notable difference: trading in the tortilla soup for the meatball and ravioli bites and a Texas-style chili. That might be because some of the attendees thought the soup was, as Nick Faldo said, 'way too spicy.'

Rory McIlroy Makes Major Revelation Before US Open

Rory McIlroy Makes Major Revelation Before US Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Rory McIlroy has been struggling in recent tournaments. Before arriving at Oakmont, he competed in the RBC Canadian Open, where he carded rounds of 71 and 78 to miss the cut. It was one of his worst 36-hole performances in recent years. Advertisement However, the world No. 2 sprinkled some optimism on Tuesday. He revealed that he shot an 81 in a practice round at Oakmont last week, which included two birdies in the final holes. 'I didn't even feel like I played that bad.' He expressed about that practice session. Despite shooting 11-over par, he feels that the round was a good one, which speaks volumes about the field. This event is going to be tough for golfers.

After struggling with his driver and facing significant backlash, he might tee off using the Qi10 club, the same one he used during the Masters. Advertisement He is grouped with Justin Rose and Shane Lowry for the first two rounds, teeing off at 7:40 AM and 1:25 PM on respective days. The man to beat in this event will be World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. He is enjoying a very successful period with three wins in four appearances in the last 30 days. Scheffler also won the PGA Championship in April and already holds two green jackets from previous years. His next goal is clearly the U.S. Open and the Open Championship, scheduled for next month, as he aims to complete the career Grand Slam.

Rory McIlroy still looking for motivation after historic Masters win

'I think it's trying to have a little bit of amnesia and forget about what happened,' McIlroy said Tuesday when asked about the difficulties he has faced — on the golf course, at least — since donning the green jacket. 'Then, just trying to find the motivation to go back out there and work as hard as I've been working.' Advertisement That edge has been tough to rediscover, buried somewhere beneath the satisfaction of finally conquering Augusta National to become only the sixth player to win all four majors in his career. He has celebrated by taking more trips, playing more tennis, hanging out at home and 'basically saying 'no' to every request that comes in.' His forays back to his day job — rough. McIlroy arrived at the PGA Championship a month after the Masters only to learn that the driver he'd been using for more than a year had been deemed nonconforming in a routine test. He hit only 46.4 percent of the fairways that week, tying him for 68th out of 74 players in that statistic who played four rounds. Those struggles with the new driver made him a nonfactor and he finished tied for 47th. Advertisement 'It wasn't a big deal for Scottie, so it shouldn't have been a big deal for me,' McIlroy said, noting Scottie Scheffler received the same news about his own driver that week but went on to win the tournament. That the normally closely held news of McIlroy's illegal driver leaked to the media and Scheffler's did not annoyed McIlroy, and he said last week that was why he didn't speak to the media after all four rounds at Quail Hollow. That issue appears to be behind him. The driver? He says he's figured it out — 'I mean, come out and watch me hit balls, and you'll see,' he said — which means the answer must have come during his weekend off after rounds of 71-78 at the Canadian Open last week left him far short of making the cut. The 78 matched the second-worst score he's ever shot in a PGA Tour event. The next test starts Thursday at a brutal, brutish Oakmont course that McIlroy said might be playing easier than the last time he was here. No, he wasn't talking about 2016, when he missed the first of three straight U.S. Open cuts, but rather, last Monday, when he needed to go birdie-birdie down the finish to shoot 81 in a practice round. 'It didn't feel like I played that bad,' McIlroy said. 'It's much more benign right now than it was that Monday. They had the pins in dicey locations, and greens were running at 15½ [compared to an estimated 14½ for the tournament]. It was nearly impossible. But yeah, this morning, it was a little softer.' Advertisement Speaking of soft courses, McIlroy said he bristled at the reputation that began developing after his first major title, in 2011, when he demolished a rain-dampened Congressional with a U.S. Open-record score of 268 that still stands. His other majors — at Valhalla, Kiawah, and Royal Liverpool — were also on soft courses. All that, plus his inability to capture the Masters, led critics to label him a player who couldn't conquer firm and fast. 'I didn't like that reputation because I felt like I was better than that reputation, so that's ego driven in some way,' McIlroy said. He tailored his game to handle the toughest conditions the majors can offer. He has runner-up finishes at the last two U.S. Opens as proof that project worked. But golf always presents new challenges. These days, McIlroy's is whether he can find that kind of fire — this week, next month, next year or beyond — now that he had made it over his biggest hump at the Masters. He served up one clue of where his head is when asked what his plan for the next five years might be. 'I don't have one. I have no idea,' he said. 'I'm sort of just taking it tournament by tournament at this point.'
