Rory McIlroy Unveils 2026 Masters Champions Dinner Menu With Personal Touches, Rare Wines

Personal touches range from his mother's dates to milestone wines.

Overview

  • The Masters released McIlroy’s full menu for the Champions Dinner, which is scheduled for Tuesday, April 7, two days before the tournament begins on April 9.
  • Appetizers feature peach and ricotta flatbread, rock shrimp tempura, bacon-wrapped dates from his mother’s recipe, and grilled elk sliders reflecting his pre-2025 diet.
  • The first course is yellowfin tuna carpaccio prepared to his specification after Augusta National’s culinary team consulted Le Bernardin in New York.
  • Main choices are wagyu filet mignon or seared salmon with sides including traditional Irish champ, sautéed Brussels sprouts, glazed carrots with brown butter, and crispy Vidalia onion rings.
  • The wine list draws from Augusta’s cellar and includes 2015 Salon Champagne, 2022 Domaine Leflaive Bâtard-Montrachet, a 1990 Château Lafite Rothschild tied to his victory night, and a 1989 Château d’Yquem from his birth year; dessert is sticky toffee pudding.
