Scottie Scheffler spilt the beans on the unwritten seating rules at the exclusive Masters Champions Dinner, where golf legends gather at Augusta National. The two-time winner cheekily admitted he avoids sitting near big names like Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus, saying the table dynamics just naturally fall into place. “There’s a little protocol—kind of like sections, but not assigned seats,” Scheffler shared, making sure everyone knows he’s steering clear of where Tiger and Jack usually park themselves.
For his first Champs Dinner in 2023, Scheffler sought guidance from 2007 champ Zach Johnson instead of his cheeky pal Jordan Spieth, knowing Jordan would definitely have a laugh at his expense. Scheffler even had his wife, Meredith, help plan the menu and sneak a peek at the setup to calm his nerves before the big night.
Despite any jitters, Scheffler cherished the “dream come true” experience. It was a golden opportunity to catch up with champions he seldom sees and discover what makes these golfing legends tick. “It’s always fun to see some of the champions and just catch up,” he said with a grin. A fun night for sure, where even the seating plan adds a touch of spontaneity! ⛳️
