- Tiger Woods missed the dinner due to a recent DUI arrest and is reportedly receiving treatment in Switzerland for a suspected painkiller addiction.
- Phil Mickelson was absent because of a family health issue, which also caused him to miss the first four LIV Golf events of the season.
- Rory McIlroy, last year's Masters champion, hosted the dinner featuring elk appetizers, wagyu filet mignon, and fine wines, and ensured Woods and Mickelson were acknowledged despite their absence.
- Sandy Lyle and Vijay Singh returned to the dinner after missing the previous year’s event.
