westy Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Sorry find that a bit hard to believe. TM are a strong brand making loads of money for Adidas.

apprenti23 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I was under the impression they were looking to dump the Ashworth and Adams lines and keeping TaylorMade... Love when these rumors come out every year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmikecpa Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Companies engage investment banks quite a bit to gauge the sale of assets in the market; I have done three or four test the waters deals this year with two liquidations. I have also done to M&A deals that I was on the acquiring end of the transaction since the price was right and thought there was some good value in the deal. My bet would be that if they were going to sell the brand it would not necessarily be to another company that is playing in the space at the moment, but rather a PE firm or LBO firm taking the reigns.

mizuno_lover Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 There's another thread in "Golf Talk" on this very subject. Apparently TMag is only good for 6% of Adidas income and Ashworth, and Adams are on the s*** list too. There's a link to an article on that thread that details all the facts and figures.

JspartansC Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I have always said that UA signing Spieth will be their game changer, but only apparel golf. Never in a million did I think they would have a chance at equipment. However, buying a brand like TM would put them in a place where UA golf equipment COULD be a contender. All speculation ofcourse.

revkev Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I'm not seeing Spieth as a guy who has enough juice to move the equipment needle all by himself. Tiger was a once in a generation event much like Arnie was for his generation - Jack was the better player but he couldn't move a needle like Arnie, no way, no how.

Tiger was a once in a generation event much like Arnie was for his generation - Jack was the better player but he couldn't move a needle like Arnie, no way, no how. I think Spieth is like Ricky Fowler but good...he is still young, and appealing to that crowd. He will get the young generation of copycats and kids that only do "what is cool" to buy into under armour gear just so they "think they have what the best has." As long as he keeps winning, he is in. And that crowd, once they actually get into golf, will probably stick with him, as they did with Tiger Woods and Nike back in the day. Also, alot of the younger crowd already wear under armour for their other sports, so it will be easy for them to not "look like flip flops" with their apparel (and yes this is a big thing with younger people). Spieth will not get the entrenched or devout golfer in his marketing campaigns, but they are already sold in the game, so UA will only pick off where they can there.
