Scottie Scheffler says he is not going to sit alongside Jack Nicklaus or Tiger Woods on the Masters Champions Dinner as a result of established protocol governing the annual occasion’s seating preparations. The 2-time champion explains there aren’t any designated seats; quite, sure gamers occupy explicit areas, with Jordan Spieth and Zach Johnson amongst those that stay collectively yearly.
Scheffler’s first time on the dinner got here in 2023, after his triumph 12 months prior, and the American subsequently secured one other victory at Augusta Nationwide in 2024. It was 2007 champion Johnson whom Scheffler approached for steerage on seating, having learnt to not depend on Spieth to keep away from being performed for a idiot.
Talking at a press convention in the course of the Arnold Palmer Invitational, a month earlier than this yr’s Masters, Scheffler revealed: “Zach and Jordan at all times sat subsequent to one another, and I positively did not ask Jordan to take a seat by him, as a result of he would have performed one thing to make it possible for I did not have a spot to take a seat!
“So I type of checked out Zach, I used to be like, ‘Hey, the place are you sitting this yr?’ And he instructed me, and he was good and let me be a part of him. However I positively wasn’t going to ask Jordan for that as a result of he would have messed with me.”
When questioned about any protocol, Scheffler responded: “There’s a little bit protocol. Guys have sections the place they sit. However you progress round a little bit bit.
“There aren’t any essentially assigned seats, however I am positively not going to take a seat within the space the place Tiger and Jack sit. Like, there are sorts of spots the place you’re feeling you will naturally move into.”
“I bought there early, checked every part out, snuck Meredith up there, let her see, as a result of she helped me plan plenty of the meals and all that. Clearly, I wished her to see it, so I snuck her up the again, confirmed her every part earlier than it bought began.”
Scheffler concluded: “It is actually cool to be in that room. You’ll at all times dream of being there. It is at all times enjoyable for me to get to see a few of the champions that I do not get to see commonly, so it is at all times actually enjoyable simply catching up with these guys, seeing what they’re like, type of seeing what makes them tick, little stuff like that’s at all times actually enjoyable.”
