How a cheese sandwich at the Masters is still $1.50 in an era of price hikes
"The Augusta National Golf Club's hallmark pimento cheese sandwiches cost just $1.50 this year, as they have since 2002. They've been on the menu since the first tournament in 1934, when they cost 30 cents each, the equivalent of over $7 today."
"After paying elevated prices at other sporting events, this is actually a real pleasant surprise to actually pay these prices,"
The Masters golf tournament is known for its low concession prices, which have remained stable for decades. Pimento cheese sandwiches cost $1.50, unchanged since 2002. Other menu items, including meat sandwiches and desserts, are priced under $3.00, while beer and wine are $6.00. Spectators appreciate the affordability compared to other sporting events. Augusta National Golf Club emphasizes the importance of keeping prices low and maintaining a simple menu, reflecting its commitment to providing a consistent experience for patrons.
