Callaway Golf Co

Callaway Golf Co is a U.S.-based golf equipment and golf lifestyle company built around the Callaway, Odyssey, TravisMathew and OGIO brands. Its core business is designing, manufacturing and selling golf clubs, golf balls, bags, accessories and apparel, with distribution through pro shops, specialty retail, wholesale, direct-to-consumer and international channels. The company also has operated adjacent businesses such as Topgolf and Toptracer, though recent strategic actions have moved it back toward a more focused golf-centric portfolio. Its products are aimed at golfers and golf-adjacent consumers who value performance, premium design and brand credibility.
