OCEAN ISLE, N.C. -- Evolve Golf - maker of the No. 1 performance golf tee on Tour - confirms the winner of the LPGA Tour's P&G Beauty NW Arkansas Championship relied on its patented Epoch tee.

Since its 2004 debut, the Epoch has been part of 121 major Tour wins, including 45 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.

"Today's game requires that players optimize their performance off the tee in order to achieve success," says Evolve Golf Founder and CEO, BJ Maloy. "The eco-friendly Epoch performance tee provides crucial gains in distance and accuracy needed to top the competition."

Not just built for performance, 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.
