westy 523 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 604 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! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jmikecpa 12,794 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. 2 Quote In the Bag for 2021 PXG 0811X Gen 2 10.5* AD VR 6x TaylorMade SiM 14* Matrix Red Tie 7x PXG 0317X Gen 2 19* KBS Proto 95x PXG 0311X Gen 2 23* AD DI 95x PXG 0311T Gen 3 5-6 KBS $ Taper 130 PXG 0311 ST 7 - PW KBS $ Taper 130 PXG 0311 Sugar Daddy 50/10 KBS $ Taper 130 PXG 0311 Sugar Daddy 54/10 & 58/07 TTDG TI S400 Pro Platinum Big Sur 48" Link to post Share on other sites
mizuno_lover 546 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 42 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 22,870 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. 1 Quote Ping G410 - turned down to11.25 degrees, neutral setting - Fujikura Motore X R flex Ping G410 5-9 wood Wilson D7 forged 6-GW - Mamiya recoil 460 R flex SCOR 52,60 EVNRoll ER 5 Titleist Pro VIx optic yellow with revkev stamped on them Currently testing Edison wedges to replace SCORS that are wearing out. Also auditions for the 14th spot in the bag. Current possibilities are a Ping 26 degree hybrid - duplicates the 9 wood or 5 iron but would be used almost exclusively for chipping or Tour Exotics 3 wood simply because you can carry 14 clubs and I might occasionally hit it in certain unusual wind conditions once every four or five rounds.

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.
