Topgolf Callaway reports $1.04 billion in Q3 sales, up five percent from last yearAcushnet Q3 sales are up over six percent to $593 millionLess-than-expected Topgolf results have thrown Topgolf Callaway stock into a tailspinBoth companies are on target for record-setting sales years

The dust is settling in the wake of the Topgolf Callaway and Acushnet Q3 financial reports. And it appears we live in a world where one company’s tally of over $1 billion in quarterly sales and nearly $30 million in quarterly profit can cause its stock price to tailspin.

 And in this same world, that company’s chief rival can post “only” $593 million in sales but more than $57 million in profit and Wall Street barely cracks a smile.

Welcome, friends, to the high-stakes world of publicly traded golf companies.

The news of the past week raises a multi-billion-dollar question: What do you do when the cash cow you “merged with” to equipment-proof your company delivers less-than-expected results for two straight quarters?

For Topgolf Callaway, the answer may lie in “venue efficiencies.” If you’re Acushnet, you keep your head down and be glad it isn’t you.

Golf doesn’t have to be expensive, does it?

I recently purchased a pair of 32 Degree Stretch Woven Golf Pants. The price? $17. That’s about $100 less than my current favorite pants, the Lululemon Commission Golf Pants, which, if you’re not worried about budget, are a must-have.

But the very existence of golf pants that cost 75 percent less than the big names begs a very valuable question: How good can they really be?

The Truth About 32 Degrees Golf Pants

Here’s the skinny: the 32 Degrees Stretch Woven Golf Pants are one heck of a deal. Never have I thought $17 could buy fully functional and very comfortable golf pants.

Was I wrong.

Peter Millar and Travis Mathew are, to many golfers, household names. Despite names that sound like third-generation fraternity brothers or snobs who ask, “Do you know who my father is?”, neither are real people. Their brands have grown immensely in the last decade, battling for a share of the golf apparel industry pie and coming away with sizeable slices. 

In This Corner: Peter Millar

Peter Millar has been building its reputation for high-quality clothing in the golf and lifestyle industry since 2001 when it originated in North Carolina. Founder Chris Knott plucked the name from a vintage lawn bowling set his mother gave him. Knott believed the name signified a premium quality that aligned with his brand vision.

And In This Corner: Travis Mathew

Travis Mathew, only a few years Millar’s junior, was founded in 2007 by Travis Brasher and Craig Perrine. Unlike Millar, it abstained from the classic-ness of traditional golf almost entirely and traded on a brazen brand position. Built in and inspired by Southern California, the company’s aesthetic and tone reflect much of the West Coast’s cultural institutions and attitudes. 

Different Strokes for Different Folks

In many ways, they each are the respective archetypes of coastal golf style. Millar leans heavily into East Coast exclusivity and Mathew reflects laid-back West Coast nonchalance. Their respective ownership also lends stock to their contrasting vibes. Millar is owned by Swiss luxury brand portfolio Richemont and Mathew is owned by Callaway. Yes, that Callaway.
