Watching Bryson DeChambeau win the US Open came at quite the cost.
HAVE you ever wondered what it costs to attend one of the four major championships including the course entry fee, food and beverages?
Recently, data analysts at Sports Talk Philly calculated the cost of attending all four golf majors, including the average price of food, snacks, drinks and alcohol at each tournament.
Key highlights:
• PGA Championship concessions are the most expensive of all four majors;
• The US Open has the highest drink and alcohol costs; alcohol costs 2.6 times more than The Masters;
• The cheapest ticket price for The Masters is more than treble the cost of the most expensive tickets for the three other golf majors.
To analyse which golf major was the most expensive to attend, we calculated the cost of buying one food item, one snack, one drink, and two alcoholic beverages.
The PGA Championship proved to be the most expensive tournament to attend in terms of buying food, drinks, and alcohol. Patrons can expect to pay around $49.19 for food and drinks on the day of the event.
On the other hand, patrons at The Masters will only pay around $18.24 for food and drinks in a single day.
The US Open has the most expensive drink and alcohol prices of any golf major.
Non-alcoholic drinks cost an average of $7.17, while alcoholic beverages cost an average of $15.44, which is 257 per cent more than the Masters.
The PGA Championship isn’t far behind, with the average cost of non-alcoholic drinks coming in at $6.00 and alcoholic beverages costing $14.75.
NOTE: Prices are in US dollars.
