I thought I remember Taylormade losing close to $1,000,000,000 in cash assets this past year. I may be way off on that.Do they though? I don't have the numbers but isn't Taylormade like a 1.5 billion dollar company? And UA at 2.5? Seems like quite the leap. (Those numbers are pulled from thin air, loosely based on an article I read somewhere)
I still think a giant like Nike is the only kind of company that can afford that sort of risk, but even then I'm not sure what they gain from it. Top to bottom I think Nike makes better clubs at the moment.
