Callaway Golf Company was founded by Ely R. Callaway, Jr.
Ely Callaway became very successful in the textile industry and was very fond of playing golf, he would play using clubs with hickory-shafts with a steel core made by a company called Hickory Sticks. In 1984, Callaway bought the rest of the company having previously purchasing half. In 1983, he became president and moved the company to Carlsbad, California where he sold clubs out of his Cadillac motor car.
In 1985, the company hired Bruce Parker who later became the company's Chief Merchant. In 1986, Callaway hired a billiard cue designer, Richard C. Helmstetter, as a consultant. Helmstetter later became chief club designer that same year and introduced computer-controlled manufacturing machines. With his help and the help of Glenn Schmidt, the company's master tool maker, the company developed the original Big Bertha golf driver using large-volume (190cc) steel clubhead. The Big Bertha driver grew to 290 cc in 1997.
In 1996 Callaway announced the development of a new golf ball, under the leadership of Chuck Yash, the former head of Taylormade Golf. Engineers, recruited from Du Pont and Boeing used aerodynamic computer programs (first used by Boeing and General Electric) to evaluate more than 300 dimple patterns and more than 1,000 variations of ball cores, boundary layers, and cover materials to create the new Rule 35 ball.
Also in 1996 the company hired Roger Cleveland as chief club designer and in 2002 launched the Callaway Golf Forged Wedges. These wedges were constructed from carbon steel and a face with modified U grooves.
In 1997, Odyssey Sports was acquired expanding Callaway's line of putters. This eventually led to the release of the Odyssey White Hot putter line in 2000.
