Company description: Callaway Golf Company designs, creates, builds and sells Demonstrably Superior and Pleasingly Different golf products. That means that any club, ball or putter in the Callaway Golf family must be a significant improvement not only upon the products of our competitors, but also our own.

It's a philosophy that our Founder, Ely Callaway, carried throughout his half-century in business -- first in textiles, then as a vintner, and finally as the world's largest manufacturer of premium golf clubs and maker of golf balls and putters. It's the same philosophy that current President, CEO and Chairman of the Board, Ron Drapeau, embraces.

Our products are designed and built on our eight-building campus in Carlsbad, California, where the majority of our 2,500 employees work. No matter which game you play -- tournament golf or recreational golf -- we make technologically advanced products designed to help you enjoy it more. Our products are created for the average golfer; it just happens that pros have excellent results with them as well.

Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our numbers. We are the No. 1 manufacturer of drivers, fairway woods, irons and putters combined. Our golf ball business is growing. From the Big Bertha line of clubs to Odyssey Putters and Callaway Golf balls, our goal is to give every golfer a few more opportunities to hit more rewarding shots more often. Mr. Callaway's name on every product we make is your guarantee.
