TaylorMade golf equipment

TaylorMade is a premier name in the golfing world, known for its innovation in wood and iron technology. Founded in 1979 by Gary Adams, the brand revolutionized the sport by introducing the first metal wood, which fundamentally changed how golf clubs were designed and played. While the brand started with humble roots in Illinois, it quickly grew into a global powerhouse in the sports equipment industry.

Historically, the brand has seen several shifts in ownership, notably being a part of the Salomon Group and later a significant pillar of the Adidas Group for two decades. Today, TaylorMade is owned by the global investment firm Centroid Investment Partners, which acquired the company to further its international reach and technological leadership. Manufacturing primarily takes place in Asia to leverage specialized production facilities, though many professional-grade clubs are custom-assembled in their California-based headquarters to ensure precision and quality control.
