Rival golf tours are set to collide at the 2023 Masters Tournament, and Scottie Scheffler has raised caution over the 'vibe' that awaits at the Champions' Dinner.
It's tradition for the Masters winners of old to host the defending champion in a sign of respect to the incumbent, an honour that belongs to Scheffler on this occasion. And the 26-year-old is a man in form as he returns to Augusta National in Georgia, having recently added The Players Championship to his growing list of accolades earlier in March.
The Champions' Dinner will feature several Green Jacket-owners who have joined the PGA Tour exodus and flocked to the Saudi-funded LIV Golf League. But Scheffler is unsure of the atmosphere that awaits when he runs into the likes of Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and Sergio Garcia over appetisers.
