The Company
HQ: Carlsbad, CA
1,587 Employees
Year Founded: 1979

What We Do

Overview: Headquartered in Carlsbad, California, TaylorMade Golf is a leading manufacturer of high performance golf equipment, golf balls and accessories. TaylorMade has a history of innovative industry-leading products such as the newly launched Stealth family headlined by the 60-layer Carbon Twist Face Stealth Carbonwood Driver. TaylorMade's technological advancements touch all sectors of the golf industry with products like P Series irons, Milled Grind 3 wedges, TP5/TP5X golf balls and Spider putters. A major force across the world's professional tours, TaylorMade has an unrivaled athlete portfolio that includes Tiger Woods, Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa, Tommy Fleetwood, Rickie Fowler, Matthew Wolff, Harry Higgs, SH Park, Charley Hull, Maria Fassi and Sierra Brooks. History: In the spring of 1979 a golf equipment salesman named Gary Adams took out a $24,000 loan on his home and founded the TaylorMade Golf Company. He rented a 6,000 square-foot building that at one time housed a television assembly plant. Counting him, there were three employees and a single, innovative product: a 12-degree driver cast of stainless steel. This new metalwood looked and sounded different from a wooden wood, and most important, it performed differently. The clubhead's perimeter-weighting offered greater forgiveness on mis-hits, while the lower center of gravity made it easier to launch the ball in the air. Adams, the son of a golf professional, was adamant that TaylorMade clubs maintain ties to what true golfers perceived an authentic golf club should look and feel like. They were committed to combining innovation with authenticity, to always be passionate about the game, and pledged to be competitive - to work hard to establish itself and grow. These four tenets would take them far. Since the creation of the first metalwood in 1979, the TaylorMade Golf Company has established a legacy of breaking from tradition to reach new thresholds of performance.
