Scottie Scheffler is in rare company, authoring a menu for the Masters Club dinner for the second time.
Yes, we call it the Champions Dinner, but when Ben Hogan started it in 1952, it was known as the Master Club.
Back to Scheffler, he announced his menu for the April 8 meal.
The items include Cheeseburger Sliders (Served Scottie Style), Firecracker Shrimp, Papa Scheff’s Meatball and ravioli Bites, Texas-style chili, Wood-Fried Cowboy Ribeye or Blackened Redfish, and a Warm Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie.
There seems to be a lot of personalization in this menu.
What is a cheeseburger slider served in Scottie style?
I always put the fries on my burger, and that's what "Scottie style” is.
It's fries on the patty. It's usually thin patties,” Scheffler explained.
“So my favorite burger place here in town (Burger House, Dallas), its thin patties with cheese in between each patty. And I'll find some of the melted
cheese, throw the fries in there, ketchup. It's pretty great.
Papa Scheff’s Meatball & Ravioli Bites?
His meatballs were the best growing up, Scheffler said of his Dad’s meatballs. “Any time he made them, we were all jacked up about it.
Thought it would be fun to put them on the menu this year, and the ravioli’s were a nice touch as well.”
Texas-style chili?
“Then the soup, my coach makes the best chili, Randy (Smith) does,” Scheffler said. “So I think they are trying to use his recipe for the chili inspiration.”
Scheffler admits that the 2025 dinner will look a lot like the 2023 version, with Cheeseburgers, Shrimp, Ribeye, and Redfish part of both menus.
“It's a little bit more of the same,” Scheffler said. “. It's my favorite foods, I hasn't quite changed too much, but there's a little bit, I would say, more kind of nostalgic stuff. My dad's meatballs made the menu. I think there's a meatball and ravioli type of dish that was always my favorite thing growing up. My dad, his best meal was always meatballs. So I think that's going to be one of the appetizers.”
