Our Story
A Passion Born on the Course For the Spirit of the 19th Hole
A Letter from the Founder
Broken Tee Vodka began with a simple truth: in golf, the moments that matter most don't always happen on the fairway. They happen in the cart between shots, standing over a press on 18, or laughing around a table after the round. They happen in the men's and women's groups, in the weekend foursomes, in the leagues, scrambles, and road trips that turn strangers into friends.
I've always believed that the spirit of the game isn't just competition—it's connection. Golf is one of the few sports where a retiree, a scratch player, a beginner, and a weekend grinder can share four hours together and walk off the course feeling like they've known each other for years. The 19th hole isn't an afterthought; it's part of the game's soul.
But something was missing.
For all the traditions, rituals, and culture around golf, the 19th hole never had a spirit that truly belonged to the game. Bars poured whatever generic vodka was on hand—nothing that celebrated the lifestyle, the camaraderie, or the people who make golf what it is.
So I set out to build one.
Broken Tee Vodka was created to honor every corner of golf culture:
- The men's and women's groups who show up week after week, rain or shine
- The diehard fans who track every major, every pairing, every storyline
- The weekend warriors who love the game for all its chaos and charm
- The friendships and stories that last far longer than the final putt
Crafted in the USA from non-GMO corn, distilled seven times, carbon filtered for an ultra-smooth finish, and sustainably sourced and crafted Broken Tee Vodka was made with the same care golfers put into choosing the right club, the right ball, the right swing thought.
Because I believe one thing above all: What we choose to put in our glass should be just as important as what we choose to put in our bag.
Broken Tee Vodka isn't just a drink.
It's a toast to the game, the people who play it, and the stories that begin after the round ends.
This bottle is for US.

Broken Tee Vodka™ isn't just a beverage; it's the spirit of golf in a bottle. With every sip, we aim to capture the essence of the game — the joy, the vibrancy, and the strong sense of fellowship among players. Our vodka is meticulously crafted for those who appreciate the nuances of a premium spirit and the subtleties of a game that's much more than hitting a ball.

It's not just about what's in the bottle but what the bottle represents — a shared love for a sport that's as much about living fully as it is about playing well.
