Major Shake-Up at TaylorMade

[Tony Covey MGS]

A reputable source has told me that there's been a major personnel shake-up inside TaylorMade-adidas Golf.

 

Two senior VPs have joined the growing list of TaylorMade employees who have left (or have been asked to leave) since Ben Sharpe assumed the CEO position last June.

 

The two SVPs who were let go are long-time employees who one might reasonably describe as part of the Mark King's regime.

 

Perhaps the most relevant piece of this story is that former Chief Marketing Officer, Bob Maggiore, who was let go in early 2014 will assume his previous role with the company effective Monday, February 2nd.

 

Maggiore is widely credited with being the architect of TaylorMade's most successful marketing campaigns. Whether his capabilities translate to the new business model remains to be seen. Clearly, TaylorMade's new leadership believes they will.

Guess Mr. Sharpe was not impressed with the bland TMaG booth/driving range at the PGA show.....

Man, TM is breaking apart at the seams. Next thing you know, they'll be splitting away from Adidas and will lose some of their marquis guys.

 

 

Maybe they should sign Tiger when he comes back?

Shenanigans are one world for it.

 

I'd say annoying more than anything.

I use the word shenanigans and then think of him as Farva from Super troopers and offer a pistol for the whooping lol.

My kids of death isn't the culprit this time, I don't have any Taylormade gear right now.

I haven't purchased TM in a few seasons. It's just not as good as it once was. IMO. The R11 was my last TM club
