Bluewater Hydrates Thousands at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson 2026, Delivering Sustainable Premium Water Solutions in Texas Heat

McKinney, Texas – May 21, 2026 – Premium water purification and beverage company Bluewater successfully returned to THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson for its fourth consecutive year, delivering sustainable hydration to thousands of golf fans, staff, and guests during the official PGA TOUR event held May 21–24, 2026, at TPC Craig Ranch.

Against a backdrop of soaring Texas temperatures and packed tournament grounds, Bluewater’s hydration stations became an essential feature of the fan experience, helping attendees stay refreshed while reducing dependence on single-use plastic bottles. Across the four-day tournament, Bluewater aimed to dispense the equivalent of more than 20,000 bottles of water through reusable, refill-focused infrastructure.

As one of the PGA TOUR’s marquee events, the CJ CUP Byron Nelson brings thousands of spectators to McKinney, where long days outdoors made access to cold, purified drinking water a key hospitality priority. Positioned across high-traffic areas of the course, Bluewater’s hydration systems offered guests easy access to premium purified water while supporting the event’s broader sustainability ambitions.

“Our continued presence at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson reflects Bluewater’s commitment to helping world-class sporting events deliver premium hydration experiences sustainably,” said Bluewater event lead Brady McGrath. “In high-temperature environments where guest wellbeing matters, dependable access to great-tasting, purified water becomes essential.”

Bluewater deployed two of its hydration systems strategically across the venue to maximize visibility and convenience. One station was positioned near Hole 7 to serve spectators following tournament play, while a second unit supported guests near the putting green, one of the tournament’s busiest gathering areas. Together, the stations created reliable hydration touchpoints integrated seamlessly into the event experience.

The activation reinforced Bluewater’s growing role in live sports and large-scale events, demonstrating how scalable hydration infrastructure can support both premium guest experiences and sustainability goals simultaneously. By enabling reusable bottle refills at scale, Bluewater helped reduce reliance on disposable plastic while keeping guests hydrated throughout the tournament.

Bluewater’s participation in THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson underscores the company’s ongoing investment in sustainable hydration solutions for sports, hospitality, and major live events worldwide.
