SUNSET BEACH, N.C. -- Evolve Golf - maker of the No. 1 performance golf tee on Tour - confirms the winner of the PGA Tour's Turning Stone Resort Championship relied on its patented Epoch tee.

Since its 2004 debut, the Epoch has been part of 123 major Tour wins, including 46 PGA Tour victories, and 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. It has been scientifically proven via a series of rigorous independent robotic tests combined with extensive player testing to provide improvements of up to 12 yards distance and nine yards accuracy.

"With the inclement weather, maximizing performance off the tee was especially vital at Turning Stone," says Evolve Golf Founder and CEO, BJ Maloy. "Week after week, players are discovering how the Epoch effortlessly improves distance and accuracy, leading to lower scores."

The Epoch - like all Evolve Golf products - is environmentally friendly. Made from recycled materials that are degradable, the design is ten times more durable than its wooden counterparts and not harmful to mower blades.

About Evolve Golf
Evolve Golf is the leading manufacturer of sustainable performance golf tees and products are available at more than 2,200 marquee private clubs, daily-fee facilities, off-course and online retailers worldwide -- including Edwin Watts, Golf Galaxy, Golfsmith, and TGW.com.

In early 2009, Evolve Golf introduced the Sweet Spot System - an option available for all Evolve tees - it is an interactive tool that takes the guesswork out of consistently teeing a ball to the proper height by aligning the ball with the driver's "sweet spot", assuring golfers get optimum distance and accuracy on every drive. Easy to use, players simply enter the make and model of their driver at Evolve Golf's website and the application returns the recommended depth of insertion mark to use when placing the tee into the ground. This guide is a visual reference tool featuring four evenly spaced marks printed on the stem of the tee (http://www.evolvegolf.com/settings.php).
