Discover the Culinary Side of Golf’s Most Iconic Tournament
Every April, the golfing world pauses for one of the most prestigious events in sport: The Masters Tournament. While the competition at Augusta National defines greatness, there is another tradition that has quietly become part of its legacy — its food.
From the legendary Pimento Cheese Sandwich to the exclusive Champions Dinner, Augusta has built a culinary identity that is as iconic as the tournament itself. Known as the “Taste of the Masters,” these dishes are part of golf culture and blend nostalgia, prestige, and storytelling through food.
At Santa Clara Golf Marbella, this tradition is reimagined with a refined, Mediterranean perspective.
Located within the club, Kayena Marbella presents the Augusta Club Specials — a limited-edition gastronomic experience inspired by past Masters champions and the iconic dishes that define Augusta.
Augusta Club Specials: A Tribute to Champions
At Kayena Marbella, each dish has been carefully designed to reflect not just a player, but a moment in golf history. The result is a menu that connects flavour, identity, and performance.
Inspired by each player selections for the Masters’ Champions Dinner, Kayena’s Chef, Javier Morales, re-created a curated menu inspired by past champions and the flavors of Augusta, reinterpreted with a refined Mediterranean touch.
Discipline & Detail: Wagyu Ribeye
Honoring Hideki Matsuyama
Inspired by the 2021 Champion, the first japanese player to win at Augusta Tournament. Matsuyama’s historic victory is reflected in a dish that values precision and balance:
- Premium Wagyu ribeye
- Shiitake mushrooms for umami depth
- Daikon and vegetables to cleanse and contrast
A composition built on harmony and detail.
Strength & Consistency: Cowboy Ribs
Honoring Scottie Scheffler
Inspired by the 2022 and 2024 Champion, an american legacy established. Scheffler’s dominance is reflected in a dish that is both powerful and precise:
- Low-temperature Black Angus ribs
- Glazed with soy sauce for depth and umami
- Sweet potato fries with lime and chipotle sauce
A bold composition that mirrors control under pressure.
Precision & Heritage: Pil-Pil Turbot
Honoring Jon Rahm
Inspired by the 2023 Champion, born in Spain. This dish pays tribute to Spanish excellence — both in golf and gastronomy:
- Turbot cooked to perfection
- Traditional pil-pil sauce, known for its emulsified texture and intensity
- Fresh asparagus for balance
Elegant, technical, and unmistakably refined.
Creativity & Anticipation: Orecchiette with Duck Ragu
Honoring Rory McIlroy
Inspired by the 2025 Champion. Unlike previous editions, this year’s official Champions Dinner menu remained undisclosed ahead of the tournament. Kayena embraces this mystery with a creative interpretation:
- Orecchiette pasta
- Rich duck ragù
- Parmesan for depth and finish
A dish that captures both expectation and imagination.
The Icon: Traditional Pimento Cheese Sandwich
Served in honor of the Masters fans
Few dishes are as synonymous with golf as the Pimento Cheese Sandwich. At Augusta, it represents tradition, simplicity, and continuity.
Kayena’s version elevates this classic while preserving its essence:
- Brioche bread for a softer, richer texture
- A blend of cheddar, pepper jack, and cream cheese
- Red pepper for a subtle sweetness
A timeless bite that connects every golf fan to Augusta.
