CARLSBAD, Calif., Aug. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Callaway
Golf (NYSE: ELY) announced that it achieved its highest monthly
U.S. golf ball share ever in July, per Golf Datatech analysis. This
announcement comes just one week after the Company reported record
financial results for both the second quarter and the first half of
2021.
In July, Callaway earned more than 20% of the U.S. golf ball
market share, further enhancing its position as the #2 selling golf
ball brand and the fastest growing major golf ball brand since
2013. Retail spend in golf balls continues to be strong versus
record sales levels from July 2020,
with exceptional demand from consumers. Additionally, while Golf
Datatech covers a broad portion of the market, internal analysis
from Callaway indicates that the Company's actual golf ball share
across all channels is potentially even higher.
Callaway's record-setting share is led by the outstanding
performance of their Chrome Soft Golf Ball Family. These golf balls
are better for everyone, from amateurs to the top players on TOUR.
In fact, Phil Mickelson (PGA
Championship), World Number One Jon Rahm (U.S. Open), and
Annika Sorenstam (U.S. Senior
Women's Open) have all recently won major championships while using
a Chrome Soft X Golf Ball. And earlier this month, Xander Schauffele won gold in Tokyo with a new Chrome Soft X LS.
"We are thrilled to reach our highest U.S. golf ball market
share ever at over 20%, and we're excited to build on this momentum
going forward," said Callaway
President & CEO, Chip
Brewer. "With over $50 million
invested into golf ball production during the past several years,
we're committed to delivering the highest performing, highest
quality golf balls in the world. That investment is especially
paying off for Chrome Soft, which is performing incredibly well in
the market, with our customers, and out on TOUR."
