Jason Dufner serves ‘butt rubbed’ filet mignon at PGA Champions dinner

Duf puts an homage to his famous celebratory moment at Oak Hill on the menu at the 2014 Champions Dinner.

Unfortunately, Jason Dufner’s career-defining week at Oak Hill last year has become best-remembered for the innocent, friendly pat he gave his wife walking off the green after winning the PGA Championship. It was a week of incredible shots but this became the moment that captured the audience when it was over.

This became big news.

Dufner wasn’t exactly embarrassed about this being caught on camera, and admitted, “Yeah, I grabbed her butt” to Howard Stern. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that when dignitaries assembled on Tuesday night for the Champions Dinner in Louisville, they found “butt rubbed” filet mignon on the menu. Also, this main course came after a dish that was named “Alabama Slammer.” Here’s a closeup of the menu (via the PGAChampionship Twitter account):

Four-time PGA champion Tiger Woods was unable to make it but John Daly showed up to the dinner at Churchill Downs in all his glory.
