Partnership aims to help support, and improve eye health for Leadbetter students on and off the course.

EyePromise, an industry-leading line of eye vitamins formulated to help support, and improve vision and eye health, and Golfzon Leadbetter Academy World Headquarters at Reunion Resort, Florida, are proud to announce their partnership with EyePromise becoming the Official Eye Vitamin of Golfzon Leadbetter Academy World Headquarters. Already used by many PGA TOUR golf professionals, including three-time Major winner and 2022 U.S. Senior Open champion Padraig Harrington and eight-time European Order of Merit Champion and World Golf Hall of Fame golfer Colin Montgomerie, EyePromise Vizual Edge™ Pro has helped golfers improve their visual performance, read the greens better, reduce light and glare sensitivity, and ultimately improve their overall eye health.

What Is the Leadbetter Academy?

David Leadbetter and the Leadbetter Golf Academies are synonymous with world-class instruction. David Leadbetter is regarded by many as the world’s premier golf instructor and his clientele includes 26 major champions, seven world number ones and many more of the world’s very best and most famous golfers. For the last 30 years, Golfzon Leadbetter has been responsible for training and developing many of the world’s top golf instructors through their industry-leading golf education program. The global network of 40 Leadbetter Golf Academies spans 15 countries and includes 150 certified instructors who deliver more than 50,000 golf lessons per year.

How EyePromise Fits

EyePromise President Andreas Wolf stated,

“We are excited to partner with Golfzon Leadbetter Academy and it’s world-class instructors and coaches. Vizual Edge™ Pro has helped many PGA TOUR Players and PGA Golf Professionals improve their game by keeping their vision sharp over the years. We are excited to work with Golfzon Leadbetter Academy and their students to improve their eye health, their ability to read the greens better, and ultimately, level up their game.”

In addition, Leadbetter full-time Junior Golfers will be provided Screen Shield Teen, EyePromise's specially formulated natural eye vitamins for children ages 4 to 17 that has the key ingredients dietary zeaxanthin and lutein.

Since 2001, EyePromise, the ocular nutrition pioneer, has been providing athletes, doctors, and the everyday individual with natural eye vitamins to help maintain and support vision against age-related eye health issues, irritated dry eyes, and even the effects of screen time. EyePromise is NSF Contents Tested and Certified, and its Vizual Edge line is NSF Certified for Sport® and specifically formulated to meet the needs of high-performance athletes. The science behind the supplements demonstrates that natural nutrients such as zeaxanthin and lutein work together to build the macular pigment, a protective layer within the eyes that’s responsible for crisp, clear vision and overall eye health.

The Latest Technology for Improving Golf Performance

Golfzon Leadbetter Academy will be implementing macular pigment optical density (MPOD) testing onsite so that their students can discover their MPOD score and receive education about eye health and the benefits of taking EyePromise Vizual Edge Pro. They can also see how their MPOD score stacks up with professional golfers like Padraig Harrington and Colin Montgomerie, who have increased their MPOD by an average of 27% since they began taking EyePromise Vizual Edge Pro. Robin Symes, Golfzon Leadbetter’s Director of Global Operations, shared,

“There is no question in our mind that through the correct nutrients that EyePromise provides, our students and clients' ability to read greens and reduce glare will significantly improve, helping lower scores and increasing the enjoyment of the game. Our Academy mission is to help golfers learn and improve faster; EyePromise makes for the perfect partner! We are proud to be working with EyePromise, as the official eye vitamin supplier for the Golfzon Leadbetter Academy World Headquarters in Reunion Resort, Florida.”
