We already asked Masters contestants past and present what they’d buy if they gave their caddie $20 to go to the concession stand so we know their favorites. But what one item would they not order?
We wanted to know that too, and we discovered that there is a strong divide among players on both the pimento cheese and egg salad sandwiches.
Widely considered two of the most popular sandwiches sold at the toonamint, it appears just as many players wouldn’t eat them unless they came with a Green Jacket.
Other discoveries: To no surprise, Gary Player has issues with white bread, but who knew he felt this opposed to it: “I wouldn’t serve it to my dog.”
And who knew that Adam Scott doesn’t eat cheese or that Will Zalatoris wasn’t an egg guy?
We’ll try not to hold these character flaws against them. We’re more in the Tony Finau camp, who said, “They’re all pretty bomb. You can’t go wrong.”

I haven’t had a bad one. I guess egg salad sandwich because I’m not an egg guy.

I’m not a huge egg salad fan. It’s nothing against their egg salad, it’s all egg salad with me.

Their chicken sandwich isn’t my favorite chicken sandwich.

I don’t eat cheese so the pimento cheese.

Pimento has grown on me. I don’t really have one but my caddie doesn’t like the chips.

I’ve never had a pimento cheese. The fried chicken at the caddie house is tremendous.

I will not touch the white bread they use on their sandwiches. Won’t even give it to my dog.

The pimento cheese, it’s all right. I don’t hate it, but I don’t love it. I’ve tried it every year I’ve played the Masters and I just can’t convince myself.

Just your basics – ham and cheese and turkey.

I’ve sampled some of the food but I’ve never actually gone to the concession stand at the Masters.

I’ve never had one but the egg salad sandwich. I just don’t like it and plan to avoid it.

This is very controversial, but I don’t like the pimento cheese. It just doesn’t do it for me. My wife loves them, my whole family loves them.
