TaylorMade golf equipment

TaylorMade is an American sports equipment manufacturer specializing in golf clubs, balls, and apparel. Founded in 1979 by Gary Adams in McHenry, Illinois, the company revolutionized the golf industry with the introduction of the first metalwood driver, the 'Pittsburgh Persimmon.' This innovation marked a significant shift from traditional wooden clubs, setting the stage for modern golf equipment. In 1984, TaylorMade was acquired by Salomon S.A., a French company, which later sold it to Adidas in 1997. In 2017, Adidas sold TaylorMade to KPS Capital Partners, a private equity firm. In May 2022, Centroid Investment Partners, a Korean private equity firm, acquired TaylorMade from KPS Capital Partners. Throughout its history, TaylorMade has been known for its commitment to innovation, producing high-performance golf equipment used by professional golfers worldwide. The brand's logo features a stylized 'T' formed by three white stripes converging at a point, symbolizing precision and motion.
