Among the bottomless reservoir of traditions during Masters week, a mention of the Champions Dinner falls somewhere between “Verne Lundquist is in the 16th tower” and “The Masters began early Thursday morning with Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player” on the Jim Nantz reverence-speaking scale.
The dinner, which occurs on Tuesday evening of every Masters week, is among the most exclusive of exclusive FANCY PANTS affairs in the world, as only former champions and the chairman of the Augusta National Golf Club are allowed to attend (super exclusive doesn’t sound like The Masters at all!).
