The Masters is filled with tradition.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From old-fashioned rules <\/a>to hidden secrets<\/a>, the annual return to Augusta National Golf Club is one of the biggest sports events of the year.<\/p>\n

But few things drive social media crazy like The Masters<\/a>‘ throwback food prices — especially in 2025.<\/p>\n

While global financial markets flutter in a new ‘tarrif’ era, a fan walking around The Masters<\/a> can still eat very well without spending much money. <\/p>\n

A breakfast sandwich is only $3, while a cup of ‘Masters Blend Fresh Brewed Coffee’ is $2.<\/p>\n

For many longtime Masters attendees, the pimento cheese sandwich is the best bet — and it only costs $1.50.<\/p>\n

But Bob Bubka has been covering The Masters for decades — including watching Tiger Woods<\/a> at his peak<\/a> — and talkSPORT’s voice of golf believes that one low-cost item is even better than the famous pimento cheese.<\/p>\n

“Most people love the pimento cheese,” Bubka exclusively told talkSPORT. <\/p>\n

“I happen to be a huge favorite of the egg salad. <\/p>\n

“That’s $1.50. You go to buy one and they say, ‘$1.50.’ You look at them like, ‘What the heck is going on here? Am I in a time warp or something?’ “<\/p>\n

A ‘Pork Bar-B-Que’ sandwich rises to $3, and that’s the same price for a Masters Club, Chicken Salad on Honey Wheat bread, or Classic Chicken.<\/p>\n

The most expensive items are alcoholic drinks.<\/p>\n

But $6 for domestic and import beer, white wine, and a Masters Crows Nest is highly affordable in the new tariff-era.<\/p>\n

Apple slices and potato chips (plain and BBQ) are the same price as pimento cheese and egg salad sandwiches.<\/p>\n

“Why can\u2019t all places be like this,” one fan tweeted. <\/p>\n

“I\u2019d gladly buy the whole menu if I ever get a ticket before I die,” a second fan posted. <\/p>\n

“Not serving Arnold Palmers is a travesty,” a third fan wrote.<\/p>\n

Bubka is also particularly fond of The Masters’ unique rules, which prioritize golfing and the beauty of the course over allowing fans to go everywhere all of the time.<\/p>\n

“Where’d you ever hear of a golf tournament where you can’t sit on the grass?” Bubka said. <\/p>\n

“No sitting allowed at\u00a0The Masters\u00a0on the grass.”<\/p>\n

And don’t try to move someone’s chair, Bubka said.<\/p>\n

“As soon as the gates open, they (fans) walk, because no running is allowed — and I mean no running allowed — and they walk to their spot on 16,” he said. <\/p>\n

“You’re not going to believe this. They take their chair, they put it down. It’s 8 o’clock in the morning.<\/p>\n

“They can come back at noon, that chair will be in that exact same spot. Nobody will dare move it. And that’s just how it goes down there.”<\/p>\n

In the mood for what!? Rory McIlroy laughs off strange questions in Masters press conference <\/p>\n

With Georgia Pecan Caramel Popcorn only costing $2 and a Georgia Peach Ice Cream Sandwich being a highly affordable $3, there’s nothing else like the Masters.<\/p>\n

Add in Bubka’s personal favorite egg salad sandwich for just $1.50, and there’s a reason that attending Augusta is a lifelong dream for golf fans around the world. <\/p>\n

“It’s just amazing from the start, in the middle, at the end, and even after the end,” Bubka said. <\/p>\n

“I mean, it’s just mind boggling.”<\/p>\n

The 2025 Masters runs Thursday through Sunday. <\/p>\n

Bryson\u00a0DeChambeau,\u00a0Collin Morikawa,\u00a0Jon Rahm<\/a>, Ludvig Aberg Rory\u00a0McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler<\/a> are favorites to win this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Masters is filled with tradition.
