Dollar for dollar, the Masters is the best value in sports

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Blue skies. Pink flowers. Green grass. White sand.

Cold beer.

After two years of COVID restrictions, America’s most picturesque, if not venerable, sports cathedral — the 11th, 12th and 13th holes of Augusta National, aka “Amen Corner” — has returned in full force and packed galleries.

This is where you can sit back — from folding chairs to grandstands — and watch a parade of the world’s best golfers roll through playing arguably the world’s most famous string of holes in front of one of its finest backdrops.

Downtime is filled with concession stand runs or chats with friends and strangers alike.
