The champion’s dinner before the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club is probably one of the most iconic gatherings there is. All the past winners sit together with the defending champion of that year’s Masters, in what is an epic get-together. However, Tiger Woods, one of the familiar names at the champions dinner, once revealed what usually happens at the champions dinner.

The 15-time major championship winner spoke about the same in an interview in 2020. In a video conference interview amid a lockdown, he spoke to Golf Digest’s Henni Zuel. Notably, Tiger talked about adapting to the lockdown lifestyle, staying inside his house with his family, and much more.

The former World No. 1 spoke about the same when Henni asked him what he missed about the 2020 Masters.
