We’ve all been gradually descending into a World Cup fever the last few weeks, what with the nonstop build-up to the soccer tournament and the myriad food and drink collabs and items that have been announced alongside it (Häagen-Dazs is the latest, by my count!). But now we’re in the thick of it, spare a thought for all those other sporting events going on this summer – one of which is teeing off this week. I’m talking about the US Open, which starts this Thursday, and has been largely ignored by food companies and restaurant chains.

Except for Dunkin’, that is. The donut chain is flying the flag for golfers this week, with a bunch of limited-time items, merch, and offers. Here’s everything that’s going on.
Fore!
Yesterday, Dunkin’ announced that it was running a “weeklong celebration” in honor of the US Open – and by celebration, it (and we) means that there’s some new stuff coming your way. The first is its “Tee” drinks: Dunkin’s running two new beverages this week, its Peach “Tee” Dunkin’ Zero (inspired by peach tea), and its Raspberry “Tee” Lemonade (a combo of lemonade with iced black tea and raspberry flavor). On the food front, its MUNCHKINS Golf Ball Sleeve combines dessert and merch, with a “green-ready sleeve” filled with three Donut Holes and one custom Dunkin’ x TaylorMade SpeedSoft golf ball. This one’s only available while supplies last.
Then, on Thursday, June 18, customers can get a free Tee Cup Holder at participating stores with the purchase of any drink. Adorned with a custom Dunkin’ argyle print, it’s a fun little holder for all your cold beverages.
More Merch! More Deals!
That’s not all, guys! Dunkin’ has also teamed up with TaylorMade to release a bunch of exclusive merch items, available from 10 a.m. ET today (Tuesday 16) at DunkinRunsonMerch.com. The Dunkin’ x TaylorMade collection includes a stand bag, a golf polo, a gold hat, and a quarter zip, amongst other items.
Aaaaand finally, if you’re a Dunkin’ Rewards member, this week you can grab some bonus points this week with a couple of limited-time offers. From June 16 to 17, you can earn FORE-X (or quadruple, for those of us that don’t speak golf) points on any drink purchase. From June 21 to 22, meanwhile, if you order at the drive-thru or through the app, you can get 100 bonus points. Who needs soccer, right?
