TaylorMade signs on as official sponsor for PGA of Australia
Participating in this sponsorship deal:
About Sponsor:
TaylorMade-Adidas Golf Company (TMaG) of Carlsbad, California is a U.S. headquartered subsidiary of the German-based Adidas Group. TaylorMade was started in 1979 by Gary Adams, the inventor of the metalwood, and the company has continued to maintain a consistent presence at the top of golf product innovation since that time. TaylorMade was independently owned until 1984 when Salomon S.A. aqcuired the company. At the time, the union was strategically compatible for both companies which were innovators in their industries. Salomon wanted to diversify and made the decision to enter a "three-season" market, and TaylorMade benefited from the world-wide resources of Salomon. TaylorMade remained a part of Salomon until Adidas bought Salomon in 1997.
About Property:
The PGA of Australia is the second oldest Professional Golfers Association in the world and proudly forms part of the PGA World Alliance, of which it is a founding partner. The Association traces its origin back to 1911 when a group of expatriate Scottish golf Professionals formed a national Association to promote the game of golf and elevate the vocation of the golf Professional within Australia.
