TaylorMade was independently owned until adidas bought the company in 1997. The image and focus of the company was redirected shortly after the adidas acquisition to take over the driver market; the company succeeded in achieving this goal in late 2005 when it officially became the No. 1 driver in golf. TaylorMade-adidas Golf had its first $1 billion revenue year in 2006, marking only the second time a golf brand has achieved this in industry history.
The company markets TaylorMade drivers, fairway woods and hybrids, irons, wedges, and golf balls. TaylorMade's putter offerings are sold under the Rossa brand. Early in 2008, TaylorMade-adidas sold its Maxfli brand to Dick's Sporting Goods, an exclusive vendor of some TaylorMade economy lines.
adidas Golf has also rapidly grown to become one of the leading golf apparel companies in the industry, thanks to technologies such as the performance fabric ClimaCool.
It is claimed that more PGA Tour Professionals play TaylorMade drivers than Callaway, Cleveland, Cobra, Nike and Ping combined.

TaylorMade began in 1979 around a single invention: Gary Adams's metalwood, which replaced the persimmon wood head with metal and changed how drivers and fairway woods were made. The company kept a consistent presence at the top of golf product innovation, including the R7 Quad line with movable weight cartridges, which let golfers shift weight inside the club head. adidas bought TaylorMade in 1997, and the image and focus of the company were redirected shortly after the acquisition to take over the driver market. The push worked: in late 2005 TaylorMade officially became the No. 1 driver in golf, and in 2006 TaylorMade-adidas Golf had its first $1 billion revenue year, only the second time a golf brand had reached that mark.
The product range recorded for the company covers the whole bag: R9 and Burner drivers with Flight Control Technology, fairway woods and Rescue hybrids, Tour Preferred and Burner irons, Z TP and rac wedges, Rossa putters including the Monza Spider line, and TP Red and TP Black golf balls. Early in 2008 the company sold its Maxfli brand to Dick's Sporting Goods, an exclusive vendor of some TaylorMade economy lines, concentrating the portfolio on the TaylorMade name itself.
For a clothing directory, the apparel half of the business matters as much as the clubs. adidas Golf grew rapidly to become one of the leading golf apparel companies in the industry, built on performance fabrics such as ClimaCool, adidas's ventilation technology for warm-weather play. Golf apparel is technical clothing - shirts and trousers expected to move with the swing, manage heat and look correct under club dress codes - and the TaylorMade-adidas combination put a club maker's tour visibility behind the parent group's clothing expertise. The definition also records the claim that more PGA Tour professionals played TaylorMade drivers than Callaway, Cleveland, Cobra, Nike and Ping combined, a measure of how completely the brand owned its chosen category.
