Golf clothing has to satisfy two masters at once: the athletic demands of the swing and the dress expectations of the club. Shirts need room and stretch through the shoulders, trousers and shorts need to move through a walking round, and the whole outfit still has to look composed at the clubhouse. Ashworth's stated focus — both modern and authentic clothing for use on the course — names the two halves of that market: technical, current styling on one side, and traditional golf dress, the knits, plaids and classic cuts the game has worn for a century, on the other.
The company also illustrates how golf brands are owned and combined. Alongside its own name, Ashworth made clothing under The Game and Kudzu brands and produced Callaway Golf Apparel — an equipment company's name carried on clothing made by an apparel specialist. Its acquisition by TaylorMade-adidas Golf in October 2008 brought that portfolio inside one of the game's largest equipment groups, a pattern repeated across golf, where apparel, footwear and hard goods consolidate under a few owners while the individual brand names, and their distinct looks on the course, are kept.
