However, management informed that it has limited visibility in the rest of the year 2020 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Chip Brewer, president and CEO of Callaway Golf said “Looking ahead to 2022 and beyond, we are excited about the strong growth embedded within our unique platform of businesses and are committed to unlocking additional long-term value for our shareholders.”
