From what I heard at the time of the purchase Callaway was more or less forced to take the Ben Hogan brand in the deal if they wanted all the rights to the patents, trademarks, and facilities that Top-Flite owned at the time. Well, when Callaway purchased Ben Hogan they got a lot more then just one of the best forged golf club companies in the world, they also got Top-Flite. I just feel that when all these older brand names are gone and forgotten there will be a pretty sizeable chunk of the nostalgia and tradition missing from the people that play this great game. How do they expect to brand themselves when you can’t remember anything they developed? Well, I will save the reasoning behind all of that for another article. What were the name of all the irons that Taylormade and Cobra produced in 2007? The numbers of irons they released are staggering and the names are easily forgettable.
Back then new products were not released every 6 months like they are today by companies like Taylormade and Cobra. Hogan was not the first and unfortunately will not be the last of the older major golf brands to be swept under the rug or passed over by a new breed of golf companies.īig names like Spalding, Wilson, MacGregor, Ram, Louisville and many others have all but become a childhood memory or a thrift store bargain. At one time Hogan golf was known for making some of the best forged irons in the world and today when you call their new owner Callaway they don’t even have a Ben Hogan department inside their complex. You might not remember this since there has been nothing going on with the Ben Hogan brand since the purchase. Late in 2003, Callaway agreed to purchase Ben Hogan Golf.
