Press Release Summary = NYCA exposes the heart of the golfer in new global marketing
campaign for TaylorMade Golf

Press Release Body = More than fathers. More than US Open winners. More than
anything, they are golfers. They define themselves by the game they love. "I Am A
Golfer," a new advertising campaign created by full-service marketing agency NYCA
(http://www.nyca.com), is a platform that positions TaylorMade as the brand for
authentic golfers.

"Authentic golfers are those who have the game in their blood," says Michael Mark,
creative director/CEO of NYCA. "They can be amateurs or professionals: golfers who
share the same values and passion for golf. 'I Am A Golfer' celebrates and
recognizes all levels of golfers as golfers first. More than a trophy, more than a
score - you are a golfer if you love the game."

The multi-layered campaign includes TV, print, collateral, point of purchase, and
online effort on http://www.iamagolfer.com. The campaign will also launch globally
in more than a dozen countries and can be seen on http://www.nyca.com.

The television spots will feature the language of golfers and their deep connection
to the game. The anthem is announced by Tom Lehman, Major champion and this year's
Ryder Cup captain for the American team. Future spots will feature golfer interviews
touching on such questions as, "What does the heart of a golfer look like?" and
"When did you realize you were a golfer?"

The print ads communicate this specifically with, "More than a . I Am A Golfer"
copy, literally illustrating that "above anything else I've achieved, first I am a
golfer."

As a global platform, Japan is already executing its extension of the platform via
trade show banners and a new website as well.

The website, http://www.iamagolfer.com, will be the community meeting place for all
golfers to dive deeper into the world of golf, housing longer golfer interviews,
and offering a place to share stories about golf.

As with any new brand platform, the internal audience must engage with the message
as well. Therefore, building banners will be posted throughout TaylorMade's global
headquarters and regional offices.
