Rory McIlroy is taking full advantage of his first opportunity to curate one of pro golf’s most revered traditions at the Masters.

On Wednesday, the Masters’ social media accounts pulled back the curtain on the 2026 Masters Champions dinner menu, which is curated each year by the reigning green jacket holder. 

The pre-tournament dinner at Augusta National Golf Club is limited to previous Masters winners.

McIlroy's choices included four different appetizers, a first course, a main course, dessert and four wine selections, and many of the selections were a nod to McIlroy's personal and golfing life.

Next is the first course, featuring yellowfin tuna carpaccio. McIlroy drew inspiration for the dish from he and his wife’s favorite New York City restaurant, Le Bernardin, the golfer told the Irish Independent.

"It’s called Le Bernardin, and this is a dish from that restaurant," McIlroy told the outlet.
