In this Must Play: Bonus Round, we’re talking about The Masters. We’re joined by our good friend, Chris Jones, but we’re not doing picks and storylines. Instead, we’re talking about the tradition of the Masters that’s also full of myths & our ideal Masters champion dinner.

To start, we break down five of the most common misconceptions about Augusta National and the tournament itself.

Then, we dive into one of the coolest traditions in golf—the Masters Champions Dinner. If we won a green jacket, what would we serve? A five-star steakhouse menu? A backyard BBQ spread? Something completely unhinged? We each build our ideal Masters Champions Dinner, and let’s just say, no one took the same route here

To top it off, we’re giving away some gear from the Chubbies Patrons Collection and a full golf outfit (polo & shorts).

If you love The Masters, Augusta history, and a little bit of chaos, this one’s for you.
