FootJoy golf gear

FootJoy is a premier name in the golf industry, traceing its origins back to 1857 in Brockton, Massachusetts. Originally founded as the Burt and Packard Shoe Company, the firm later became the Field and Flint Company. The 'FootJoy' brand name was officially born in 1923 following a naming contest among employees. Known primarily for its high-performance golf shoes and gloves, the brand has maintained a dominant presence on the PGA Tour for decades.

Today, FootJoy is owned by Acushnet Holdings Corp., which also manages other major golf brands like Titleist. While the brand started in the United States, its manufacturing operations are now global to meet worldwide demand. Golf gloves are primarily produced at a wholly owned facility in Thailand, while footwear is manufactured through strategic partnerships and joint ventures in China and Vietnam. Apparel and other accessories are also sourced from a network of third-party suppliers across the Asia-Pacific region.

Ownership of the brand has transitioned through several major corporations over the years, including General Mills and Fortune Brands, before the 2011 acquisition by a Korean-led consortium. As of 2026, FootJoy remains a core segment of the publicly traded Acushnet Holdings Corp., continuing its legacy of innovation and quality in the golf market.
