TEED UP Named Official Performance Drink of the PGA of Ontario & Title Partner of Our Flagship PGA of Ontario Zone Championship

Markham, ON – The PGA of Ontario is thrilled to announce a multi-year partnership with TEED UP, welcoming the Canadian performance beverage company as the Official Performance Drink of the PGA of Ontario.

As part of this agreement, TEED UP will serve as the Title Partner of the PGA of Ontario Zone Championship — our flagship event of the season.

We look forward to celebrating this year’s TEED UP Ontario Zone Championship, where TEED UP will be on-site with product for all participants, on-course activations and gifting, and an engaging presence that reflects their commitment to supporting PGA of Ontario Professionals and the greater golfing community.

About TEED UP

TEED UP is a performance beverage built specifically for golfers.

Founded in Ontario by lifelong golfer John Pacione, TEED UP was created to solve a simple but overlooked problem in the sport: fading late in the round due to fatigue, loss of focus, and the mid-round crash.

After realizing traditional energy drinks were doing more harm than good, John began experimenting with formulas to create something truly engineered for the demands of golf. Years of on-course testing led to a clean, balanced drink that blends natural caffeine, brain-boosting amino acids, calming L-Theanine, adaptogens, and essential electrolytes, designed to keep golfers sharp, steady, and hydrated from the first tee to the final putt.

Today, TEED UP is trusted by golf facilities, instructors, and competitive players across Canada, and continues to expand as a dedicated on-course performance tool for golfers of all levels.

Where You’ll See TEED UP & How to Engage

As the Official Performance Drink of the PGA of Ontario, TEED UP will be proudly providing product at all PGA of Ontario tournaments throughout the season, as well as select off-season initiatives!

We are excited to welcome John at our events and into the PGA of Ontario community. His enthusiasm to engage, support, and give back to our Professionals is evident, and very appreciated.

In addition, all Ontario Zone Members receive 20% off all TEED UP product on online orders. Members can visit the Member Perks and Discounts page to access this offer.

“I built TEED UP because I was tired of losing focus and energy late in rounds. Golfers deserve something made for the real demands of this game. Partnering with the PGA of Ontario is a huge moment for us, and I’m excited to support their Professionals with a drink built by a golfer, for golfers. We’ll also be showcasing TEED UP at the PGA Show in Orlando in January, which will be another big step in sharing this vision with the golf world.”

 — John Pacione, CEO & Founder, TEED UP

PGAO Pros who are already enjoying TEED UP

“I’ve really enjoyed adding Teed Up to my routine, whether I’m out on the course or teaching. I like that it gives me a nice blend of a mild caffeine boost combined with hydration, thanks to the electrolytes. It’s got all-natural ingredients, which is a big plus for me. It’s something I’ve found helpful and I’m happy to recommend it.”

 — Ryan Robillard, PGA of Ontario Professional

“I’d highly recommend TEED UP it's legit, and built for performance, not just hype. The taste is a pleasant surprise, not sugary with some great flavours to choose from, it’s clean and refreshing with a light carbonation. From a performance standpoint, it replaces electrolytes, supports energy, and I felt great for the rest of the round.”

 — Jason Helman, PGA of Ontario Professional

“Teed Up has been an amazing change to the energy drinks I’ve known. I feel all the benefits of an energy drink without the crash. It truly is my caddie in a can! Great product and will continue to support this amazing brand.”

 — Matthew Tindale, PGA of Ontario Professional

“TEED UP tasted great and helped me stay focused through long days of teaching and practice. The energy felt smoother and more sustained than what I get from coffee.”

 — David Li Sheman, PGA of Ontario Professional

Supporting the Next Generation of Golfers

TEED UP is also a proud supporter of junior golf as the official sponsor of the University of Guelph Gryphons Golf Team.

“[I] Never drank energy drinks before because of the side effects of them. TEED UP has allowed me to stay focused during a round of golf with lasting energy and performance.”

 — Will (U of G player)

“Playing golf, I would never have energy drinks because of the crash I felt. With TEED UP I would open the Transfusion and it would give me constant energy that allowed me to stay more focused. Thank you to John and TEED UP for supporting the Gryphons Golf Team.”

 — Ela (U of G player)
