‘Every tournament should follow this model’ – Masters 2025 food and drinks prices revealed with Coca-Coca just £1.55

THE MASTERS 2025 food and drink prices have been revealed – as Augusta continues to show its class.

Golf’s most iconic tournament gets underway on April 10 with Rory McIlroy looking to complete the career Grand Slam and Scottie Scheffler eyeing a third green jacket.

But patrons – not fans – in attendance once again need not worry about having to fork out huge prices on refreshments throughout the day at Augusta.

Unlike most sports venues that charge a fortune, the historic golf club have maintained exceptionally low prices for their food and drink.

And in 2025, it is no different.

Golfing YouTuber Rick Shiels took to social media with a snap of the menu from the Women’s Amateur staged at Augusta National this week – ahead of the Masters next week.

And the prices are staggeringly reasonable.

Sandwiches are either $1.50 (£1.16) for egg salad or pimento cheese and $3 (£2.32) for chicken salad, Masters club or ham and cheese.

The most expensive item under the snacks and miscellaneous items is a $3 (£2.32) Georgia peace ice cream sandwich – with chips, cookies and candy all $1.50 (£1.16).

As for the drinks, all of the soft and hot ones available – including cola, iced tea, lemonade and coffee – cost just $2 (£1.55).

CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS

For all purchases, as is customary in the US, tax will be added to those costs when patrons purchase their items.

But even so, it is still ridiculously good value for money – with Shiels pointing out he could buy one of every item for just $43 (£33.21).

And golf fans on social media want other tournaments to follow suit when it comes to pricing.

One said: “Every tournament should follow this model. But greed will not allow them to do so.”

Another wrote: “This is great to see somewhere so prestigious adopting such reasonable pricing. I wonder how this compares to other events.”

A third added: “NFL owners take note.”

A fourth typed: “A far cry from UK prices where it’s 43 quid for a coffee and slice of carrot cake.”

And a final user replied: “Hats off Augusta National. This would never happen in the UK sadly.”

Others did, however, point out the fact that admission tickets to be at the Masters in the first place are very expensive.

Interestingly, Augusta serve their sandwiches in green wrappers.

The reason is so that if a patron does drop it, the TV cameras will not pick up the litter on the course – as it blends in with the colour of the grass.

Ex-Celtic trialist who now supports Rangers backs up vile ‘polio child’ Schmeichel criticism and says he can’t take flak

IT’S the topic which is dividing Danish football – was scathing criticism of Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel over the mark?

We told you how the iconic veteran keeper was singled out for flak after the Danes fell to a 5-2 defeat in their Nations League clash against Portugal.

Schmeichel will miss the next five to six weeks of action

It now transpires that he was also playing through an injury which will keep him out for a minimum of six weeks.

But that didn’t stop some brutal comments heading in his direction, with Ekstra Bladet columnist Anders Olsen calling him ‘plump’ in his piece titled: “Farewell, Kasper Schmeichel.”

The Danish PFA then came out swinging with vile comment that compared Schmeichel’s punching of the ball to being “like a polio child“.

It has all caused a major furore in this corner of Scandinavia.

And now a former Celtic trialist who has claimed in the past he now supports RANGERS has said that there is ‘no way round’ the criticism – and ‘we all saw something that looked a bit off with his physique”.

He also reckons that Schmeichel has never been particularly good at handling criticism, and prefers just to ‘hide away’.

That man is David Boysen, and he spent an ill-fated week on trial with the Hoops back in 2010.

He spoke recently of his time at the Hoops which he claims culminated in him wearing Scott Brown’s clothes to a STRIP CLUB after he had humiliated him so much in training.

David Boysen said: “I probably would have been a bit hurt if those words were said about me, no matter how I looked.

“I think those are some harsh words being used because you’re being put in a certain box with them. That, I think, is tough.

“But on the other hand when you’re Denmark’s national team goalkeeper and have been for a decade, you can’t deny that we all saw something that looked a bit off with his physique.”

“There’s just no way around it.

“Schmeichel is really bad at handling criticism, so he just avoids speaking at all. It’s the same thing when a goal goes in. He just hides away, so he’s not particularly good at taking criticism.”

Boysen words drew support from Lyngby star Lasse Fosgaard, who said: “This past week, there’s been this whole debate raging about the word ‘pudgy’ and Kasper Schmeichel, and whether or not you could call him that, and I just have to say, you absolutely can.

“As a football player, your body is your tool, and if that body isn’t in shape, then that’s completely fair.

“I know myself that as you get older, it becomes harder to be just as fast and so on, and the other thing that happens is that it also becomes harder to say no to béarnaise sauce and pick-and-mix candy and all that other stuff.”

“That’s why you end up putting on a few kilos, and if that happens, then I think it’s completely fair that if you play a bad game and it looks like that’s the reason, then you should be criticized for it.”

He dded: “I think the criticism is completely justified, and sure, we can discuss word choices and so on, but I don’t think ‘pudgy’ is an insulting word in any way.

“I’d almost rather be called ‘pudgy’ than be told I was really bad. It’s not like he called him ‘massively fat’ or something like that.”

“I just feel like, let’s say Kasper Schmeichel was Denmark’s best swimmer and he showed up to a swimming competition in that kind of shape, and we all sat there watching as he finished seven seconds behind the others: ‘I don’t really get it, it’s like he just didn’t quite hit form…’”

“I mean, come on. It’s so obvious to everyone that he’s slow. He doesn’t have the same speed on the line. Has he gotten older? Yeah, yeah. But what else? He’s gotten bigger too. And bigger, yeah, yeah, that’s an ugly word, you’re not supposed to say it, but it’s the truth.”

“I just don’t understand why this is a problem. In every other sport, you’re allowed to say it, but times have changed. Everyone is a victim now.”

Kennedy also missed this weekend’s Grand National at Aintree

Just last month, Kennedy made yet another miraculous recovery from a SIXTH broken leg in time to race at Cheltenham Festival.

He broke his leg for a sixth time at Fairyhouse in November, and made a remarkable recovery to feature at the Festival.

However, he has since been sidelined again after taking a fall aboard Corbetts Cross in the Gold Cup.

The 25-year-old was due to ride several high-profile horses for legendary trainer Gordon Elliott at Aintree.

He was scheduled to be on board Grand National contender Three Card Brag.

But Kennedy will now also miss the iconic race in Merseyside, and the upcoming spring festivals at Fairyhouse and Punchestown.

Trainer Elliott confirmed the frustrating news:”Jack will be out until the end of the season, but he’s our first jockey and as soon as he’s back he’ll be back riding all the horses.”

It marks the second time in three years that Kennedy has missed the Grand National through injury.

Davy Russell stepped in form him during last year’s festival at the legendary racecourse.

Despite the frustration of another enforced break for thr young jockey, he will be given all the time he needs to recover fully before returning to action.
