Callaway

Im new to the golfing industry's
But does Callaway own Odyssey
If you go on Callaways website, and go to putters, it goes directly to the Odyssey website.
Also Ben Hogan is part of Callaway also?
Thanks for the help

Maxfli WAS part of TaylorMade. But the Maxfli name was sold to Dick's Sporting Goods last year. TaylorMade only makes TaylorMade and Noodle balls now.

With the many mergers and acquisitions it is hard to keep up with what company owns what. Here's the ones I know off the top of my head:

Callaway does also own Hogan and Odyssey.

Accushnet is the parent company for both Titleist and Cobra.

Addidas is the parent company for TaylorMade, and if TM doesn't own they are very, very closely related to the Rossa putter company.

SRI Sports is the parent company for Srixon, and they recently bought Cleveland golf. Similarly to TM and Rossa, if Cleveland doesn't own the Never Compromise putter company, they are very, very closely related.

Bridgestone Golf is part of the Bridgestone company, but isn't affiliated with any other golf company that I know of.

Same thing with Nike.

I'm sure that there are more that I'm forgetting or never knew in the first place, but that is most of the biggest OEMs. Maybe other people will add more to this thread and we can have an as up-to-date list as possible, at least for one day!

Re: Callaway

Interesting news about MaxFli being sold. I have 2 boxes of MaxFli Fire Tour balls that are marked. "@2007 Taylor Made Golf Company Inc. I did get them at a new Dicks' store a month ago. Makes me wonder when the MaxFli name was sold, or if Dicks is just paying a fee to use it.

One comment to this... Bridgestone makes a lot of golf balls for other labels, including at least some of the Nike balls. I know that the Nike PD balls are made by Bridgestone (or so I was told by a Bridgestone rep).

Well, I think the sale to Dick's happened in or around Feb of this year (2008), so MaxFlis from 2007 would still have been under TaylorMade's ownership.

I did know that about Bridgestone's balls, too. I knew that they used to make balls for Nike, but it is a good question whether that is still happening or not.
