History of the Golf Tee

Evolve Golf offers a wide range of bulk golf tees designed to meet every golfer’s needs. Our tees enhance performance, reduce breakage, and provide environmentally friendly options. Golfers can choose from classic wooden tees or modern composite designs, each crafted to deliver durability, consistency, and precision.

Golfers relied on sand mounds to tee their balls for centuries until inventors patented wooden tees in the 1890s. Wooden tees gained popularity when the Reddy Tee received endorsements from professional golfers, setting the standard for wood tee design. In the 1990s, manufacturers introduced corn starch tees, but golfers rejected them due to higher costs and fragility. In 2003, designers launched the Epoch golf tee, offering golfers superior performance while minimizing environmental impact.

Evolve Golf tees suit golf shops, tournaments, events, and personal use. Shop our Epoch line, Project Tee Claim (PTC), or Project Good Woods (PGW) to combine quality craftsmanship with reliable functionality for every golfer.

The history shows how far we’ve come. For centuries, golfers relied on sand mounds to tee their balls. Wooden tees were patented in the 1890s but did not become popular until the Reddy Tee gained traction through professional endorsements. In the 1990s, corn starch tees were introduced but failed due to higher costs and fragility. The game changed again in 2003 with the launch of the Epoch tee, offering superior performance for golfers while minimizing environmental impact.
