PGA of BC PARTNER SPOTLIGHT
CALLAWAY GOLF
Callaway Golf was founded in 1982 by the late Ely Callaway, a visionary entrepreneur who operated under a simple but profound business promise: deliver demonstrably superior, pleasingly different products and services. That philosophy turned what was originally a boutique manufacturer of high-quality wedges and putters into the world's largest maker of premium, performance golf products. 
 
The Callaway mission and vision has remained the same; the manufacturer continues passionately pursue advanced, innovative technologies that help golfers of all abilities better enjoy the game. Under the Callaway and Odyssey brands, Callaway manufactures and sells golf clubs and golf balls, and sells golf apparel, footwear and accessories in more than 110 countries.

That vision continues to result in high-quality products earning industry accolades year after year, most recently evidenced by Callaway equipment tested for the 2019 Golf Digest Hot List. Of more than 125 products tested, only five products on the Hot List received 20 out of 20 stars and two of those belonged to Callaway: its new Epic Flash drivers, backed by revolutionary Flash Face technology, and its Apex Irons, Callaway's premium forged distance irons, were both awarded perfect scores.
 
Callaway Golf is a Silver-level Preferred Partner of the Association and a co-title sponsor of the PGA of BC Pro-Assistant Championship. Click below to learn more.
