GOLF fans have been left drooling after Jon Rahm picked the “best menu ever served at the Masters.”
But some putters insisted they’d “rather get a McDonalds” after seeing Rahm’s Spanish grub.

The 29-year-old is hosting this year’s Masters meal after cruising to victory in last year’s tournament.
Known simply as the Champions Dinner, it takes place at Augusta ahead of the latest competition.
And 2023 winner Rahm has gone for a very European menu ahead of his feast on April 9.
Inspired by his native Spain, and particularly the Basque region, the ace will be serving a variety of tapas dishes to hungry guests.

Iberian ham, cured pork loin, spicy Basque chorizo and even a Spanish omelette feature prominently.
There will be a first course of Basque crab salad served with potatoes.
And for those with a rumbling tummy, there is a choice of two main courses.
First on Rahm’s menu is the Basque ribeye, served with Tudela lettuce and piquillo peppers.

For the pescatarian diners, there is also a fish option of turbot and Navarra white asparagus.
Other dishes on the menu include Idazabal cheese with black truffle, lentil stew and chicken fritters.

And for desert, Rahm has opted for puff pastry cake served with custard and Chantilly cream.
The menu certainly contrasts with recent offerings from past winners.
Tiger Woods previously served up a California-inspired dish featuring sushi and steak.
Hideki Matsuyama went for a similar theme after becoming the first-ever Japanese winner in 2021.
And last year saw Scottie Scheffler rustle up some Texas grub including “Scottie-style” sliders, tortilla soup and skillet cookies.
But some fans believe Rahm’s menu tops the lot.
One said: “Best menu ever served at the Masters. That turbot dish is to die for, although I expect most will pick the rib-eye.”
Another declared: “Looks so good.”
One noted: “Amazing meal, hands down the best I’ve seen.”
Another added: “This is truly a dinner worth of Champions!”
However, other supporters were less enthused.
One said: “Would rather get McDonald’s.”

Another boomed: “This is a joke.”
One added: “Sounds awful.”
