We like how food is still cheap at The Masters golf tournament

 

In this episode, we dive into one of the most iconic events in sports — The Masters Tournament. Speaker 1 and Speaker 2 share their thoughts on why the Masters captures the attention of even the most casual golf fans. From the tradition-rich setting of Augusta National to the culture and unique experiences surrounding the event, there’s a lot more to the Masters than just golf.

We talk about Scottie Scheffler, last year's Masters champion, and the unexpected twist he brought to the Champions Dinner. Instead of the high-end, fine-dining menu often expected at such a prestigious gathering, Scheffler went for something much more relatable — a barbecue menu. Ribs, brisket, mac and cheese — comfort food that reflects his down-to-earth personality and resonates with fans.

Speaker 2 brings in a personal story involving Nick, a reporter from Augusta who’s always thrilled when the Masters comes to town. His excitement is a reminder of how this tournament affects not just players and fans, but the local community too. For Augusta residents, it’s a week that brings global attention, a major boost to the local economy, and plenty of local pride.

Another highlight of the discussion is the affordability of food at the Masters. At a time when concessions at most sports events — even high school basketball games — can cost $10 or more, Augusta National continues its tradition of keeping food prices surprisingly low. Where else can you enjoy a legendary pimento cheese sandwich for just a few bucks?

We explore the Masters’ lasting appeal — from its strict traditions and breathtaking course visuals to its quirky details like low-cost concessions and famously limited TV coverage. It’s more than just a golf tournament; it’s a cultural experience.

If you’ve ever wondered what makes the Masters so special — or you’re just in it for the barbecue and cheap eats — this conversation brings a fresh perspective. Whether you’re a golf die-hard or a casual viewer who just tunes in once a year, you’ll find something to appreciate in this deep dive into one of sports’ most timeless events.
