Former NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski’s funny meal recommendations for the Masters’ Champions Dinner have made waves in the golfing world. The former Patriots and Buccaneers star offered his humorous spin on the standard menu while attending the PGA Tour’s Valspar Championship to support the Tampa Bay community and take part in some leisure activities.
While not conforming to golf traditionalists’ expectations, Rob Gronkowski’s humorous Masters Champions Dinner menu proposal showcases his fun-loving personality.
The fact that Gronkowski attended the Valspar Championship demonstrates his preference for playing games like cornhole and ice shakers over watching golf. Despite this, his lighthearted interview comments serve as a reminder that sports are about entertainment and enjoyment.

At the event, Gronkowski was asked by a reporter about what he would put on his imaginary Masters Champions Dinner menu. Gronkowski replied, “My menu would be cheeseburgers, chicken finger subs, buffalo wings with blue cheese on the side, and of course, my lovely ice shaker right here with an ice-cold beverage inside, just getting a little tipsy at all times, baby.” He even held up his “ice shaker” as he spoke.
Tiger Woods, a 15-time major champion, was briefly introduced to Gronkowski, but he was more excited to meet Christopher McDonald, the guy who played Shooter McGavin in Happy Gilmore. After saying that McDonald was the greatest skilled golfer he had ever met, Gronkowski enthusiastically made gun sounds.
The Masters’ Champions Dinner, which is hosted on the Tuesday of Masters week, has been a tradition since 1952. The defending champion will serve as the event’s host, and previous Masters Tournament champions are welcome to come. The reigning champion gets to determine the dinner’s menu, which can include any dish or beverage of their choosing.
The non-traditional meal on Scottie Scheffler’s menu for the forthcoming Masters’ Champions Dinner, which includes chips and guacamole, steak fajitas, and sushi, has garnered attention.
The menu represents Scheffler’s particular preferences, which some people might find strange. The event, which is frequently perceived as being stiff and elitist, is given a lighthearted touch by Rob Gronkowski’s funny interpretation of the meal.
