South Korean fashion retailer F&F ($2 billion market value) has been reported to have hired Goldman Sachs to advise on buying United States golf company TaylorMade after South Korea private equity firm Centroid started sales process for TaylorMade without F&F prior approval. F&F is largest shareholder of TaylorMade after making substantial investment in 2021 including having right of first refusal. TaylorMade has been reported with valuation from $2 billion to $3.5 billion. TaylorMade – 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 groundbreaking Stealth 2 Carbonwood™ Drivers, TP5/TP5x Golf Balls and P·Series irons. TaylorMade’s technological advancements touch all sectors of the golf industry, including customization, visual technology seen in pix™ and Tour Response Stripe golf balls and digital experiences such as the MyTaylorMade+ app. A major force across the world’s professional tours, TaylorMade has an unrivaled athlete portfolio that includes Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Collin Morikawa, Nelly Korda, Brooke Henderson, Tommy Fleetwood, Dustin Johnson, Rickie Fowler, Charley Hull. 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.
