On which weekday is the Masters Champions Dinner traditionally held?

The story behind the answer

“On which weekday is the Masters Champions Dinner traditionally held?” The answer is Tuesday.

The Champions Dinner is held on Tuesday evening during Masters week, two days before the tournament’s traditional Thursday opening round. It is a private gathering for past Masters champions, with selected Augusta National officials or honorary members also included.

The dinner began in 1952, when defending champion Ben Hogan hosted the event. Its purpose was to bring Masters winners together as the group commonly known as the Masters Club. The defending champion traditionally chooses the menu, often featuring dishes connected with their home country or personal background.

Tuesday can be confused with Monday because the tournament week includes another important meal: the Amateur Dinner, held for competitors in the Masters amateur field. Thursday is the first tournament round, while Wednesday is associated with practice and ceremonial activities rather than the Champions Dinner.
