Evolve Golf's Epoch tee played by winner of Shell Houston Open

OCEAN ISLE, N.C. -- Evolve Golf – maker of the No. 1 performance golf tee on Tour – announces its continued success, with the winner of last week’s Shell Houston Open relying on the Epoch tee.

A part of 99 major Tour wins – including 27 PGA Tour victories – since its 2004 debut, Epoch is the only performance tee with radius posts that span the width of a golf ball dimple. This unique feature creates the lowest coefficient of friction of any tee, eliminating deflection at impact and increasing ball speed and control off the tee. The Epoch has been scientifically proven via a series of rigorous independent tests to provide improvements of up to 12 yards distance and 9 yards accuracy.

“This week’s winner is among the long list of elite players on the PGA, LPGA and Champions Tours who rely on the benefits our tees provide,” says Evolve Golf Founder and CEO, BJ Maloy. “They trust our advanced design because it provides an immediate and obvious improvement in distance and accuracy.”

In addition to its performance advantages, Epoch – like all Evolve Golf products – is completely sustainable. Made entirely from recycled and renewable materials, the mower-friendly design lasts 10-times longer than a wooden tee.
