Augusta National Women's Amateur fans can enjoy many of the Masters famous concessions
EVANS, Ga. — Southern Cal's Jasmine Koo waited an entire year to get her hands on a peach ice cream sandwich. She didn't get one last year at the Augusta National Women's Amateur and put it on her priority list for 2025.
Fans who come out of the first two rounds of ANWA at Champions Retreat have the chance to indulge in the most famous concessions in sport, even if they can't step foot on the iconic course. The egg salad sandwich and pimento cheese, for example, are still only $1.50. The Georgia peach ice cream sandwich is a cool $3.
While it's a more limited menu than what's on offer at Augusta National Golf Club, even the green packaging is the same.
All drinks are $2 and nothing on the list exceeds $3.
This marks the sixth edition of the ANWA. A cut will be made after two rounds, and then the entire field heads over to Augusta National to play a practice round on Friday before Saturday's final round.

Scottie Scheffler inspired by Tiger Woods, but doesn't feel worthy to comparisons to him
Scheffler was amazed by the only time he played with him in a tournament, a moment nearly five years ago that shaped the way the 29-year-old from Dallas now dominates his sport. It was the final round of the Masters in November 2020, both of them 11 shots out of the lead with no chance to win. What stands out from that autumn Sunday was Woods making a 10 on the par-3 12th hole and then made birdie on five of his last six holes. Advertisement Scheffler remembers the opening hole just as well. As he looks back to the start of his pro career, Scheffler felt he was guilty of not giving himself enough chances at winning and rarely being in the final group. 'I always found myself just a little bit on the outside looking in, and that's one of the things I learned from playing with Tiger,' he said. Advertisement 'We're in 20th place or whatever going into Sunday at the Masters. Tiger has won five Masters, he's got no chance of winning the tournament. Then we showed up on the first hole and I was watching him read his putt, and I was like, 'Oh, my gosh, this guy is in it right now.' 'That was something that I just thought about for a long time,' Scheffler said. 'I felt like a change I needed to make was bringing that same intensity to each round and each shot. And I feel like the reason I've had success in these tournaments is ... just the amount of consistency and the intensity that I bring to each round of golf is not taking shots off, not taking rounds off, not taking tournaments off. 'When I show up at a tournament, I'm here for a purpose and that's to compete hard, and you compete hard on every shot.' That's what golf has witnessed since Scheffler finally broke through at the WM Phoenix Open in 2022, and within two months he was a Masters champion and No. 1 in the world. It doesn't mean he wins every week — golf is still golf, an impossible game to master. This week is an example of that. The change to the format in the Tour Championship puts emphasis on getting to East Lake, and now the top 30 players start from scratch for 72 holes to see who wins the FedEx Cup. Scheffler has no advantage by starting at 10 under par, nor does he have a points advantage. It's a welcome change for most players because they signed off on it. Rory McIlroy, the Masters champion, says he didn't mind the starting strokes because great play should get some reward. Advertisement 'I didn't hate the starting strokes. I thought that the player that played the best during the course of the season should have had an advantage coming in here,' McIlroy said. 'But you could also argue if it was starting strokes this week, Scottie with a two-shot lead, it probably isn't enough considering what he's done this year.' Scheffler started with a two-shot lead each of the last three years and it still took him the third try to win the FedEx Cup. He loves the pressure of competing. And besides, not starting with an advantage is sure to get his attention from the start. He has his caddie, Ted Scott, back on the bag this week after dealing with a family emergency. Scheffler is quick to point out how his career took off when he brought in Scott. This year has been as good as any considering he started late because of hand surgery, and he added the PGA Championship and British Open to his two previous Masters titles. But it's not over yet. Scheffler was reminded of that in 2022 when he lost a six-shot lead in the final round to McIlroy. That was the year he won his first Masters, rose to No. 1 in the world and had four victories. But when he returned home, he was met with condolences for not winning at East Lake. 'It just irked me so bad finishing off the year where guys were like: 'Hey, great playing, I'm sorry about how it ended.' It's like, 'You know what, man, I won the Masters this year, won a few other tournaments.' It was a pretty good year.' Advertisement The tournament starts Thursday. It's already been a good year for Scheffler.

Scottie Scheffler says Tiger Woods showed him intensity needed to be the best
World number one Scottie Scheffler credits Tiger Woods for inspiring the crucial change to his game which has made him arguably the best golfer since the 15-time major winner's pomp. Scheffler won the US PGA and Open Championship this year, with three of his four majors coming in the last eight events, and also has three other PGA Tour victories in 2025. He is the last player since Woods to win five tournaments in back-to-back seasons and while he continues to play down comparisons, he does admit the influence of golf's modern great sparked a turning point in his own career. 'Tiger was just different in the sense of the way he approached each shot, it was like the last shot he was ever going to hit,' said Scheffler, who is attempting to become the first player to successfully defend a FedEx Cup title in the season-ending Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta. 'I've only played with Tiger once in a tournament, in the 2020 Masters and I think he made a 10 on the 12th hole and then he birdied, I think, five of the last six. 'It was like 'What's this guy still playing for? He's won the Masters five times. Best finish he's going to have is like 20th place at this point'. 'I just admired the intensity that he brought to each round. That was something that I just thought about for a long time. 'I felt like a change I needed to make was bringing that same intensity to each round and each shot. 'I don't hit the ball the furthest, the things that I do on the golf course other people can do, so I think it's just the amount of consistency and the intensity that I bring to each round of golf – not taking shots off, not taking rounds off, not taking tournaments off. 'When I show up at a tournament, I'm here for a purpose and that's to compete hard and you compete hard on every shot.' Those are ominous words from a player who is currently top of the FedEx standings with almost twice as many points as second-placed Rory McIlroy. However, unlike previous years, when there were shots advantages to be earned from your place in the 30-man standings, every player now starts level par and the winner over four rounds wins not only the Tour Championship but the FedEx Cup and a 10 million US dollar (£7.4m) bonus. 'I'm maybe part of the minority. I didn't hate the starting strokes,' said McIlroy. 'I thought that the player that played the best during the course of the season should have had an advantage coming in here but the majority of people just didn't like the starting strokes. 'But you could also argue if it was starting strokes this week Scottie with a two-shot lead probably isn't enough considering what he's done this year and the lead that he has in the FedExCup going into this week.'
