Alongside two limited-time drinks inspired by famous golf refreshers—Peach “Tee” Dunkin’ Zero and Raspberry “Tee” Lemonade—Dunkin' unveiled a MUNCHKINS Golf Ball Sleeve with a custom golf ball. The sleeve can be found at participating Dunkin’ locations while supplies last, featuring an assorted mix of three iconic donut hole treats, plus a Dunkin’ x TaylorMade SpeedSoft golf ball.
A limited-edition collection is now also available, featuring a Dunkin x TaylorMade FlexTech Stand Bag and other co-branded products like a classic quarter-zip, a performance polo, and a lightweight golf hat with a custom Dunkin' iced coffee icon.
Inspired by the sport and the kickoff of a major golf tournament, Dunkin' is transforming its Westhampton Beach location into a golf-inspired destination, complete with an interior putting green, a golf cart and photo opportunities.
