‘Does It Cure Cancer…Shame on You PGA’: Justin Thomas and the Golf World React to Absurd Pricing at the PGA Championship

There are only two days left for Tulsa’s Southern Hills Golf Club of Tulsa to host the 2022 PGA Championship. As expected of the major championship week, the golf world has nothing but talk about it. While all the news coming from the venue has been making the fans happy, a recent revelation has killed the mood. 

A recent Twitter post from the Operations Officer of No Laying Up, Cody McBride, is the reason the golf world is mad at the PGA. 

According to the post, every item on the menu at the Southern Hills charges more than the actual price. Water is priced at $6, whereas the beer costs $18. 

The PGA only allows one unopened bottle of water from outside per ticket and does not allow everyone to take food inside the course. Therefore, the spectators will need to buy some food items or beverages from the stall inside the venue. However, since the prices are higher than average, people will have a hard time buying them. 

Justin Thomas and others are upset with the unacceptable costs of the beverages! 

Justin Thomas is one of the top golfers who will be playing at the Southern Hills this week. He is a PGA Tour player. Yet, the golfer couldn’t agree with the organization on the way they priced the menu.

JT used his sarcastic side to react to the injustice of the PGA. “$18 for a freakin beer?????? What does it cure cancer or something!!????” JT’s comment was deleted after some time but not before the others took a screenshot and posted it online. 

The fans also shared the same opinion as the Tour player.

Many even claimed that it is the same on almost all the events on the Tour. They shared their experience, where they had to spend an unbelievable amount of money on food and beverages.

Notably, unlike other venues, the pricing of the food and beverages at the Augusta National is way less.

The Augusta National event is famous for getting a lot cheaper food and beverage services. In fact, while the water at the PGA costs $6, the water at Masters is priced at just $2. The same goes for beer and other drinks. 

Notably, other than White Wine (Chardonnay), no other food or beverages on the Augusta menu are charged more than $5. These differences made the fans point it out in the comments on the post. 

Do you think it is time for the PGA to cut down prices at least on the water?
