Rounding up the best 2021 Masters souvenirs, merch
A new spring and a new Masters bring us a new crop of Masters gifts. The Patron Shop is open this year to anyone who held a badge for the patron-free 2020 Masters, so if you happen to know someone with access, slip 'em a few bucks and get them to order you a gift. Think of them as NFTs that you can actually hold.
Sadly, the Taste of the Masters, a collection of pimento cheese, egg salad, popcorn and other goodies, is already sold out, but here are a few of the other choice gifts on sale this year:
Patron Gnome, $49.50
Not everyone was able to get a badge for this year's Masters, but our ever-loyal gnome was, sporting a shirt full of old badges, some genuine golf shoes and an egg salad sandwich. No phone, though.
15th Hole Lee Wybranski Print, $35
Lovely view of the 15th green and the 16th, too. Hope all those fans in the stands are wearing masks and keeping proper social distance.
Masters Ornament, $25
The latest in Augusta National's ornament series brings us the 13th hole. Hang it on your Christmas tree and dream that Santa will bring you enough of a golf game to reach the green in two.
Egg Salad & Pimento Cheese T-shirts, $29.50
These are just brilliant, giving two of the stars of the Masters time to shine all on their own. No word on if they smell like their respective sandwiches, though.
Azalea Candle, $48
"Fragrant notes of vanilla, cedarwood and amber combine in this Azalea candle to evoke the warmth and comfort of the atmosphere of the Masters." Chirping birds not included.
Amen Corner Puzzle, $29.50
See if you can do what Jordan Spieth, Francesco Molinari and Brooks Koepka couldn't: figure out the puzzle of No. 12.
Hand Towel, $25
You remember those towels your mom used to put out for company that weren't really supposed to be used? Yeah, this is one of those. Keep your grubby mitts off it.
