Callaway Golf Company is a golf-focused equipment and lifestyle business headquartered in Carlsbad, California. It traces its origins to 1982, when it was founded to build premium products for golfers and to push performance through design and engineering.
At its core, the company develops and sells golf equipment—most notably clubs and golf balls—along with a broad range of gear that supports play and travel (bags, gloves, headwear, and other accessories). Its direct-to-consumer presence and retail distribution model are built around serving everyday golfers as well as competitive players looking for high-performance options.
Innovation and product iteration are central to Callaway’s identity. The brand regularly refreshes major equipment categories (drivers, irons, fairway woods, hybrids, wedges, and balls), pairing new designs with fit-and-feel improvements meant to help golfers hit longer, straighter, or more consistent shots across different skill levels.
Beyond the flagship Callaway name, the company also operates complementary golf brands that deepen its presence in specific parts of the game—such as Odyssey, known for its focus on putters and putting performance. Together, these brands let the business cover the full bag, from tee shots to short game and putting.
Callaway runs a global business with subsidiaries across multiple regions, supporting international sales, distribution, and service. Over time, the company has also experimented with expanding golf participation through entertainment-oriented experiences, and it has since reinforced a “pure-play golf” identity under the Callaway Golf Company name.
