Historically, the Masters features a number of attractive items for its fans that go beyond what happens on the course. Concessions items in the food department are a top perk for those that step foot onto the hallowed grounds.
However, Augusta’s exclusive merchandise is where the golf club generates the bulk of its money for the weekend. That includes the legendary Masters Gnome, which is in its final year of existence.
The Masters made the viral decision to stop making its popular Gnome after decades of being a major collector’s item for those that earn tickets to attend the tournament. FOS revealed that roughly 1,000 Gnomes are made available to fans on a daily basis before being sold out.
The financial breakdown for merchandise purchased at the Masters is quite astounding. Augusta is predicted to sell nearly $10 million daily throughout the full week of festivities that feature at the golf club.

Below are some of the other exclusive items that fans can find only purchase on-site at Augusta.
