According to PR Newswire, as part of the multi-year agreement – beginning at the second major of the 2019 PGA Tour season, the PGA Championship in Farmingdale, NY – Watson will feature the cbdMD logo on both sides of his headwear at all PGA Tour events. The deal also includes a wide range of additional, integrated marketing opportunities to promote the cbdMD brand.
“By joining forces with one of the biggest names in the sport, we’re excited to see how the golf community embraces the newfound popularity of CBD,” said Caryn Dunayer, President of cbdMD. “We’re looking forward to the continued success of Bubba, while educating the public on the many benefits of hemp-derived CBD.”

Who would’ve thought the guy who’s arguably the most anxious player on Tour would be the first one to partner with a CBD company. Shocking, really.
It’s not the first time Bubba made headlines with a different kind of sponsorship. Remember when he switched from Titleist to Volvik? We all saw how that worked out. But this one seems logical, especially if it’s legal and it works for him.
Don’t be surprised if you see more players using CBD oil in the future. It’s legit.
