Rory McIlroy, the reigning Masters champion, spent over $65,800 on wine for the annual Champions Dinner held at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia. This year's dinner is noted as the most expensive in its history. McIlroy's curated wine list included a range of premium selections such as the 2015 Salon Cuvée “S” Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs Brut, priced at around $1,100, and the 2022 Domaine Leflaive Bâtard-Montrachet, which was the most costly at approximately $1,800 per bottle. The dinner, a cherished tradition among past Masters champions, requires the reigning champion to cover the costs, but McIlroy's recent victory, which came with a $4.2 million prize, made the expense manageable. McIlroy has expressed his enthusiasm for the wine selection process, highlighting it as a memorable aspect of the event, which combines the worlds of sport and fine dining.
