Cobra Golf, based in Carlsbad, California, is an American manufacturer of golf equipment. The company is currently a subsidiary of the German athleticwear and sports lifestyle company Puma, which in turn is part of the French holding Kering.

History

Founded in 1973 by Thomas L. Crow, Cobra produced one of the first utility clubs, the Baffler, long before the use of such clubs became popular. The company was acquired in 1996 by American Brands Inc. (later known as Fortune Brands)[1] and was grouped together under the Acushnet Company umbrella along with the company's other golf brands, Titleist, FootJoy, and Pinnacle Golf. Cobra was acquired by Puma SE.

Sponsorship deals

Cobra had a successful relationship with former world number one Greg Norman.[2]

In February 2014, Cobra Golf signed a multi-year partnership[3] with the PGA Tour's Honda Classic, making it one of the lead sponsors of the event.
