The golf brand TaylorMade is changing hands, with a Korean private equity firm acquiring the company amid a global boom in the sport.
Seoul-based Centroid Investment Partners has agreed to buy TaylorMade from New York-based KPS Capital Partners, Centroid said in a statement Tuesday.
Terms weren’t disclosed. The Korea Economic Daily newspaper said the deal was worth 1.8 trillion won ($1.6 billion), citing unidentified people.
TaylorMade, established in 1979, makes golf clubs, balls and accessories used by top pros such as Dustin Johnson, Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Maria Fassi and Sierra Brooks.
