PGA Championship beer prices 200% more than the Masters – but fans do get free food

Alcohol will cost a pretty penny at this year’s PGA Championship.

World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler heads to Aronimink Golf Club this week as he looks to defend his title, and those watching on might decide to skip the bars this time around.

Ahead of the tournament in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, beer prices have been leaked by golf writer Ben Parsons — and they make for rough reading.

How much will beer cost at the PGA Championship?

Michelob Ultra and Bud Light (both 16oz) are the cheapest alcoholic beers on offer, and will cost $15 each.

Premium beer, also 16oz, is priced at $16.

A Michelob Ultra 25oz will be on sale for $17.50, while the PGA Championship will also offer a Bud Light seltzer for $16, and a 12oz High Noon (vodka seltzer, vodka tea) for $16.50.

The cheapest beverage on the menu is a non-alcoholic 12oz Michelob Ultra Zero, priced at $12.

Aronimink will have shades of the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, where a single beer cost between $16 and $19.

Both events were organized by the PGA of America, and the beer prices at this week’s championship will be around 200 percent higher than what fans paid at the Masters last month, where Augusta National’s offering is widely celebrated.

While the PGA’s alcohol prices are eye-watering for all the wrong reasons, there is perhaps good reason for the premium cost.

All spectators heading to Aronimink can participate in the PGA Championship Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverage Program.

Described as a ‘one-of-a-kind’ offering, it allows fans to head to concession stands — as many times as they want — for free.

Those heading to Aronimink for breakfast will have their pick of sausage, egg and cheese breakfast biscuits, chicken biscuits, glazed donuts, fruit and yogurt bars.

Lunch selection includes hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, cheeseburgers, Italian sausages, plant-based burgers and Mediterranean salads.
