Xander Schauffele has revealed the PGA Champions menu as he aims to continue his red-hot form.
The 2024 winner says he wants to please everyone with his selection, but has added his own twist.
In addition to the five-course meal, which includes Wagyu beef, the World No 3 will give each guest a humidor stuffed with cigars.
Schauffele is known for his taste in cigars, having enjoyed a Montecristo after winning the PGA Championship and The Open last year.

The title holder gets to choose the menu for the next year, as per PGA Championship traditions.
