Word origin

The term 'tee' originates from the early 17th century, derived from the Scottish word 'tigh,' which means 'to place or set.' Its use in golf dates back to the late 19th century when golfers began using raised supports to hold the ball, making strikes easier and more effective. The invention of formal tees greatly transformed the game, providing consistency in how players set up their shots. Over time, 'teeing' has become a standard part of golf vernacular, reflecting both its physical action and its significance in the sport's strategies.
