Callaway Golf makes equipment and gear for golfers. Its main products include golf clubs, golf balls, and bags sold under the Callaway and Odyssey brands. The company also owns Topgolf, a chain of entertainment venues where people hit golf balls into large targets, and it sells clothing through its TravisMathew and Jack Wolfskin brands.

Callaway earns money by selling golf equipment in stores and online, collecting revenue from Topgolf venue visits, and selling apparel. It operates globally, with significant sales in the United States, Europe, and Asia. The Topgolf business gives Callaway a way to reach casual players who may never buy traditional golf equipment, which is a different kind of customer than its core golfer base. The main risk is that Topgolf carries heavy fixed costs from its large physical venues, which puts pressure on profits if customer traffic slows or the broader consumer spending environment weakens.
