“Sounds fantastic to me,” said Johnson after listening to the menu. “I mean, they are all the things that I enjoy,” he added. Moreover, he named Miyazaki Wagyu and Miso Glazed Black Cod as his favorite dishes among them.
After Ben Hogan suggested it in 1952, the Champions Dinner has been a tradition that the Augusta National follows every year. Only the Masters champions are invited to the dinner. And the previous year’s winner hosts the event. Since Hideki Matsuyama was the winner of the 2021 event, he got to host the dinner this year.
