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. The new metalwood looked and sounded different from a wooden wood, and most importantly, 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. They were committed to combining innovation with authenticity, to always be passionate about the game, and pledged to be competitive.

The same values adopted 46 years ago by Gary Adams are still revered and practiced today at TaylorMade. We continue to develop products that help players of all skill levels reach their potential. Since 1979 our measure has remained the same: Create the Best Performing Golf Products in the World. Learn more about TaylorMade Golf at (562) 571-2900 (Mon) or visit us online.
