BYU football players dream up their own Masters Champions Dinner

PROVO, Utah – A tradition unlike any other is upon us, The Masters.

The greatest tournament in golf has many rituals each year. One of those traditions is hosting a Champions Dinner on Tuesday night of Masters Week, with the menu selected by the previous year’s winner.

It’s a gathering of the living champions of the Masters, including last year’s winner, Rory McIlroy, who completed a career grand slam by securing the Green Jacket. McIlroy got the chance to sit at the top of the table on Tuesday inside the August National Golf Club clubhouse.

“I think it’s one of the best traditions in sport, and I’m very grateful to be a part of it,” McIlroy said on Tuesday. “I’m obviously going to get my first experience of it tonight and looking forward to many, many more years.”

McIlroy had a menu that featured a main course of either Wagyu Filet Mignon or Seared Salmon.

BYU football players give their Masters Champions dinner menus

BYU football jumped in on the fun that is the Masters Champions Dinner, with players laying out what their menus would look like if they were hosting the exclusive dinner.

Seeing these menus has us singing Ray Charles’ “Georgia on My Mind.” The whole day through.
