What was Scottie Scheffler's menu for Masters Dinner 2023?
Scottie Scheffler had an incredible 2022 with four wins, including the 2022 Masters for which he received a green jacket and $2.7 million.
However, there was one more honor waiting for the 26-year-old golfer, which was given to him on Tuesday, April 4 at Augusta National, prior to the 2023 Masters. Scheffler was honored at the Masters' Champions Dinner, an annual tradition before the tournament which was started by Ben Hogan in 1952.
