Rory McIlroy picks future seat at masters champions dinner

Rory McIlroy has identified his preferred spot at the annual Masters Champions Dinner following his successful title defense. The Northern Irish golfer asked Adam Scott and Trevor Immelman to save him a seat in their corner of the table. This comes after he hosted the event during the 2026 Masters week.

At the Masters Champions Dinner, McIlroy surveyed the U-shaped table while seated between Ben Crenshaw and chairman Fred Ridley. He noticed Scott and Immelman enjoying themselves in the bottom-left corner and requested they hold a place for him if he did not win again that week. McIlroy went on to defend his title, becoming just the fourth player in history to do so at Augusta National.
