Sir Nick Faldo is no stranger to hosting the event. A three-time Green Jacket winner, he opted for a simple fish and chips meal a year after his 1996 triumph, with cod imported from Grimsby, England.<\/p>\n
Faldo has tasted numerous other players’ menus over the years, and he asserts that two-time champion Bubba Watson’s attempt was decidedly the worst.<\/p>\n
“What was the worst one? Oh, it was Bubba, wasn’t it? When we had Chuck E. Cheese,” Faldo revealed to TalkSPORT in 2024.<\/p>\n
“When we had a little hamburger and a little corn and a little ice cream. I think we had a milkshake as well. So, yeah, that was a lot.”<\/p>\n
Despite the occasional peculiar menu, Faldo describes it as a “special” evening. He said: “It can get quite emotional because some of the old boys are getting on, or you’ve lost somebody and reminisce about some old stories and that sort of thing.<\/p>\n
“We usually have a good laugh as well. Everybody ribs (each other), especially when Jack (Nicklaus) says, ‘Well, it was pretty easy in 1965’.<\/p>\n
“Everybody nearly beat him up on that one, which was quite fun. ‘So because you won by 10 or whatever?’<\/p>\n
“It’s usually very entertaining. I’m very, very, very proud to be part of that. It’s pretty special.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
