 PROFILE
TaylorMade Golf, a wholly owned subsidiary of adidas-Salomon, is driving to be the best after helping to revolutionize the golf equipment industry. The #2 golf club maker (after Callaway Golf) produces metal drivers and irons (SuperSteel, FireSole), putters (nubbins), and balls (InerGel) sold through exclusive dealers worldwide. Other products include golf bags, apparel, and accessories. TaylorMade also offers products especially designed for women and kids (Esteem and Burner Bubble, respectively). It sponsors players on the PGA, Senior PGA, European PGA, and LPGA tours. Gary Adams founded the company in 1979 after discovering that balls struck by metal drivers travel farther than those struck by traditional woods.
