Masters 2017: Would Danny Willett's Masters menu be your choice?
Danny Willett went for a Yorkshire-inspired menu for the traditional Masters Champions Dinner, but what would you serve to the Green Jacket winners?
www.skysports.comHere’s what I can share about Danny Willett’s Masters menu and related coverage up to now.

The Masters Champions Dinner in 2017, hosted by Danny Willett as the defending champion, featured a Yorkshire-inspired menu focused on traditional British comfort dishes. The starter was mini cottage pies, the main course was a Sunday roast with Yorkshire pudding, and dessert was apple crumble, with tea and coffee to finish. This menu emphasized Willett’s roots and a classic, hearty British theme.[1][3]
-
Several outlets confirmed the same Yorkshire/UK-centric lineup for Willett’s 2017 Champions Dinner, highlighting his intent to serve familiar, approachable fare rather than anything avant-garde. This included reports describing the starter, main, and dessert in similar terms and noting the accompanying beverages and teas.[2][3]
-
In broader, historical context, past Masters Champions Dinners often feature the defending champion’s regional or personal ties, with guests including many former winners from Augusta’s tradition. Willett’s 2017 menu fits that pattern by leaning into his English/Yorkshire heritage.[3][6]

More recent mentions (2024–2026) reference Willett in various Masters-related contexts, but specific, verifiable details about a new Masters Champions Dinner menu authored by Willett for those years are not consistently reported in the same way as 2017. If you’re looking for a current year’s Masters Champions Dinner menu attributed to Willett, I can check the latest authoritative golf coverage to confirm any updates.[4][9]
