No inflation here: The Masters menu and why is it so cheap?
Part and parcel of going to live sport is paying through the roof for food and drink. But at the Masters that’s not necessarily the case.
www.cityam.comDirect answer: The latest widely reported updates show Masters concessions remain remarkably affordable, with most food items at or below $3 and drinks like beer at about $5–$6, based on recent coverage around the 2026 Masters menu.
Details:
- Recent outlets highlight that even as other prices rise, the Masters menu sticks to low prices, with egg salad and pimento cheese sandwiches at $1.50, and several hot items at $3 or less. This thread of reporting has appeared in early-April 2026 coverage, noting unchanged price points from prior years for many staples.[1][2][3]
- The priciest items are beverages (beer and wine) at around $6, while some specialty items like the Masters Candy Bar and Georgia Peach Ice Cream Sandwich have seen small increases, typically modest (e.g., $2.50–$3.00 range).[2][3][1]
- Overall, multiple outlets emphasize the Masters’ concessions as among the most affordable in major sports events, contrasting with broader inflation trends in other venues.[3][5]
