Prices for drinks and food at sporting events don’t tend to come cheap, and despite its sister major tournament, The Master’s, going viral for its low prices, this weekend’s PGA Championship is selling refreshments at a steeper price.

This year’s PGA Championship will be held at Southern Hills, and the prices on its concession menu made their way onto social media, leaving fans shocked.

Golf spectators looking to grab a cold one while rooting on their favorite golfer will have to shell out $18 for a 24 oz. can of Michelob Ultra, $1 more than an entire 18-pack of the beer sells for at Target. If fans are feeling boujee, they could shell out $19 for a Stella Artois that is the same size or a Michelob Ultra organic hard seltzer.

But if attendees are looking to save money, they need not worry, as, for the low price of $15, they can get a standard cocktail or a 12-oz. Kona Big Wave. For a “signature” or “souvenir” cocktail, fans will have to return to the higher prices of $19.

The cheapest alcoholic beverage that will be available during the tournament is wine served by the glass, costing $13.

For those not looking to drink or who aren’t of age, bottles of Aquafina are available, but the prices aren’t much better, coming in at $6 apiece.

The cost of admission to the tournament being held in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is $200, but fans might look to eat before they go now that they know what it will cost them.
