"I have an idea, yes" - Jon Rahm hints at what he will serve at 2024 Masters Champions Dinner
Jon Rahm won the first Masters of his career on April 9 at the Augusta National Golf Course. The Spanish golfer registered a four-stroke victory over LIV golfers Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson.
The Masters has a long-standing tradition where the previous year's winner hosts a Champion's Dinner at the Augusta Clubhouse and decides the food to be served to all the other green jackets in attendance. This year's Champions Dinner was hosted by Scottie Scheffler on April 4. Next year, it will be Jon Rahm's turn to host the party.
Interestingly, Rahm has already planned what he will be serving at the Masters Champions Dinner in 2024. In a conversation with Golf Week, the 28-year-old golfer hinted at next year's menu. When asked what he'd serve at the Masters Dinner in 2024, Rahm said:
“I have an idea, yes. It would be Spanish cuisine. I’m lucky to be friends with chef Jose Andres and I would seek out his help a little bit.”
Spanish chef Jose Andres owns several restaurants around the United States and has won many awards for his skills. He served as a caddie for former Masters winner Sergio Garcia at the 2023 Augusta tournament. Andres also played the par-3 contest ahead of the tournament.
