The Masters is one of the most historic and prestigious tournaments not only on the PGA Tour, but in the entire golf world. Every season, the tournament is held at Augusta National, and the course or the PGA Tour host a variety of special events prior to the championship. With the event’s 2026 edition coming close, one such special program, the Taste of the Masters, has officially begun.
The Taste of the Masters is a food program that allows fans who are unable to visit the tournament in person to taste traditional Augusta National cuisine at home. Special orders for these food kits are taken, and later during the tournament week, they are delivered to the fans, allowing them to enjoy an Augusta viewing experience at home. The Taste menu for the 2026 event is now available, and it features many interesting things.
According to an X post by NUCLR Golf, this year’s Taste of the Masters program will feature two types of kits. One will be standard, in which 4-6 people can easily enjoy the food, while the other will be large enough for 12-14 people. The X post also highlighted the price for them, as it read,
“🚨🌺🥪 JUST IN — Augusta National has made The Taste of The Masters hosting kits available once again this year, with a standard kit serving 4-6 people and available to order for $99 USD. Large kits serve 12-14 people and are priced at $189 USD. Cocktail hosting kits are also available for $99 USD.”
The kits are going to consist of several things, including
- Pimento Cheese (24 oz.)
- Plain Potato Chips (6 Bags)
- Mini Chocolate Moon Pies (6)
- Masters Branded Souvenir Cups
- Masters Coasters (Pack of 12)
- Masters Branded Wax Paper

Interestingly, this season’s Taste kits for the Augusta National are slightly more expensive than the previous season.
What was featured in the 2025 Taste of the Masters?
The atmosphere surrounding the first golf major is typically crazy, and last year’s Taste kits were extremely popular among fans. Talking about last season’s taste kits, they started at $64.95 and included a variety of items for such a low price. According to a Sports Illustrated report from last season, the Taste kits that provided Augusta National experience included,
- Limited Edition Azalea Kit, including a non-alcoholic Azalea cocktail mix
- Masters cups
- coasters
- a cocktail jigger
- custom stirrers
Interestingly, the Taste kits were not available to supporters for a long period last season, selling out in a matter of hours. This year’s stock from Augusta National will undoubtedly increase, but the kits are expected to sell out in a matter of hours, if not a day.
The 2026 Masters is scheduled to begin on April 9, with a total of 90 golfers likely to compete, as the event at Augusta National often attracts fewer golfers than the other majors.
