There's a lot that makes the Masters a special event, aside fromhosting the top golfers in the worldat one of the most exclusive golf clubs there is. The merchandise is always highly sought-after, from Masters-branded polo shirts to garden gnomes.
And then, there's the food.
A trip to Augusta National isn't complete without taking a bite of either the signature pimento cheese sandwich or egg salad sold at concession stands all over the grounds. And if the Southern heat starts kick in, a Georgia peach ice cream sandwich is one of the best ways to cool off.
Another big draw about the concessions at the Masters is that they have always been reasonably priced, and that tradition continues this year, even with some marginal changes.

Masters concession prices in 2026
Three items have slightly increased in price this year. The blueberry muffin and southern cheese straws are both up to $2.50 from $2 a year ago, and cookies are now up to $2, a 25-cent increase from last year.
However, all the other traditional Augusta National staples will stay at the same prices as they were in 2025. In fact, the price of the egg salad and pimento cheese sandwiches hasn't increased since 2002.

Even with inflation spiking the costs of food across the nation, The Masters has held true to this philosophy.
