I don't think spending millions of dollars on a putter company just so you can keep paying a guy money is a good business practice. I tihnk Puma is just wanting to be a true major player as an OEM, that means quality equipment in every field, Woods (check), Irons (check), wedges (not yet), putter (now check). Rife has a good following, good putter line, good technology, and since they only sell putters; not too bad of a price. I bet we see a wedge line in the next few years too. It's more a fortification of what cobra's weaknesses were, that being limits on quality equipment b/c of vokey and cameron. My 2 cents atleast.
