Kind of begs the question, why would CBS/ESPN do the broadcast at cost?
The only entity making any money is Augusta National?
Rich getting richer I guess.
Because just being affiliated with an event this prestigious still draws prestige and eyeballs to their networks. And it's at a time of year where the opportunity cost is little. They'd be showing cornhole or something
As far as "rich get richer", AN leaves an absolute ****load of $$$ on the table
Yeah, it's definitely a dead spot on the sports calendar. But they are giving away an absolute ****-ton of inventory to accommodate Augusta.
Masters merchandise is crazy expensive and it's everywhere. Augusta is a brand and the networks are producing and broadcasting a 15 hour commercial for them for free.
Those Augusta members didn't become Augusta members by selling **** for free.
Masters merchandise is crazy expensive? How so? It's a bargain there.
They sell everything at MSRP. Zero markup. Most local golf shops sell the same product for 20% more. And at the US Open, more like 30% more.
Like concession prices, merchandise prices are very reasonable at the Masters.

What merch? The merch you see online is all resellers. The only merch from AN is sold on site during the tournament for extremely reasonable prices. But some do buy it up and resell it because there is a fat profit to be made since AN doesnt charge anywhere near what they could for it or offer other ways to get it
The tickets? Cheap
The food? Cheap
The merch? Cheap
But resellers do try to exploit that fact

Yep. No idea how anyone can call merchandise at the Masters expensive. It's MSRP. No markup.
The Masters is one of cheapest events to attend IF you get a face value pass. But that's a huge if.
Yeah, this guy doesn't have a clue. Not sure why i'm bothering
Sam on the green in 2 on par 5. Long way from the pin though.
Sam on 15 in two.
Bennett on 15 in 2.
Get that birdie and get back to 11th, Sam!
Birdies traded on 13. Rahm still 3 up
They were definitely pro-shop prices on everything. And "fair price" for a lot of their premium stuff is up there. I took a look at a couple pullover sweaters that were $400. I looked at a straw hat for my wife that was $95. Baseball caps were $35. Ladies' cotton hooded sweatshirts were $90.aginlakeway said:TxAgswin said:DannyDuberstein said:TxAgswin said:

Can't speak to what stuff costs at other majors, but I didn't see the concession-pricing mentality on display in the merch shop.
Eagle put short, chance for birdie
Bennett leaves eagle putt way way way short.
Damn Xander with an oh so close putt from off the green at 16
Bennett with an AWFUL putt on 15.
Welp, there went a great chance to get to -4
Hard to convince yourself to hammer a putt on these greens

Everything at Masters is MSRP. 100% fact. What do you want them to sell it for?
US Open is 25% or more higher than MSRP.
Missed the bidie putt
Settles for par

He's generally been following bad putts and bad chips with good ones.

Par
Can't believe he parred that. A couple terrible putts today.
That's 5 or 6 missed birdie putts this round.
So close, but so far away.

Meh, can't be down on him, he's doing something completely amazing this weekend.
Missed opp for Sam. Bad eagle and birdie putts.
Bummer.
Bummer.
Yes, i've purchased way too much MSRP stuff. I think the most expensive stuff I have would be a couple of Peter Millar quarter-zips which were what you'd pay at any golf store or the mall for them. Paid about $120 I think, although this was 1-2 years pre-Covid/biden inflation
When it's msrp and you know you can't get it anywhere else, it's hard to stop putting stuff in the shopping bag

Bennett will need to get to -4 if he wants a Top 12 finish. Time to start hunting flags.
One final Masters merchandise comment.
Standard Peter Millar shirts are 110 at Masters this year.
They're 130 at Austin Country Club.

Wow, what a ****ing shot

Needs that putter to catch fire
That will probably be the shot we see every year when they recap Rahm's victory.
What a shot from Rahm
