Callaway is a major operating company known for manufacturing and selling high-performance golf equipment. Its primary product lines include golf clubs, balls, and accessories under the flagship Callaway Golf brand. The company also owns several other well-known brands in the golf space, including Odyssey, the #1 putter brand, and apparel and gear brands TravisMathew and OGIO. This focus on golf equipment follows the 2021 merger with Topgolf and a subsequent strategic transaction in early 2026, where it sold a majority interest in the Topgolf entertainment venue business to reposition as a pure-play golf company while retaining a 40% stake in Topgolf.
