With Callaway acquisition, travisMathew is looking ahead to more success
s
outhern California-based apparel maker travisMathew was conceived on 7-7-07 with a
simple mission: to make clothes that could be worn on and off the course and focus on
the core colors of black, white, and grey.
"The goal was to be rooted in golf but evolve into a men's lifestyle brand," says company
CEO Travis Brasher. "Our line appeals to the everyday guy who wants to look good and feel
good. He isn't the loud flashy guy that stands out in the crowd."
Recently acquired by Callaway Golf for a reported $125.5 million, travisMathew has
over the past decade become one of the most popular apparel brands in the busi-
ness – both on the PGA Tour and among everyday golfers.
We recently caught up with Brasher to learn more about the company's
origins and its rise in popularity among golfers, as well as what's in
store for the future.
