Callaway Golf Signs Nick Flanagan



    Callaway Golf Company (NYSE: ELY) today announced it has reached
    an agreement with PGA Tour member and former United States Amateur
    Champion, Nick Flanagan. Flanagan was the recipient of a "battlefield
    promotion" from the Nationwide Tour after he won his third Nationwide
    Tour tournament of the year at the Xerox Classic on August 19. The
    terms of the multi-year contract are not being disclosed.

    It is expected that Flanagan, 23, will play a full complement of
    Callaway Golf equipment, including 13 Callaway Golf clubs, an Odyssey
    putter and the HX Tour Golf Ball. Flanagan will also wear Callaway
    Golf footwear and hat and carry the Company's bag.

    "Playing on the PGA Tour has always been my goal, and I'm thrilled
    and honored to be partnering with Callaway Golf at this point in my
    professional career," said Flanagan. "Callaway Golf is all about
    product innovation and helping make golfers better and my goal right
    now is to continue to improve my game. My equipment will be a big part
    of that process."

    Flanagan is a native of New South Wales, Australia. He took the
    golf world by storm in 2003 when he became the first foreign-born
    player to win the U.S. Amateur Championship in 22 years. He turned
    professional the following year and played the Australasian Tour in
    2004 and 2005 before joining the Nationwide Tour.

    Earlier this year Flanagan won two consecutive Nationwide Tour
    starts, the Henrico County Open and the BMW Charity Pro-Am at the
    Cliffs. Flanagan's battlefield promotion was just the eighth ever
    awarded on the Nationwide Tour, and he earned it in just 16 starts.
    Flanagan will be eligible to play in seven PGA Tour events during the
    remainder of 2007 and has secured his 2008 PGA Tour card.

    "We're excited to sign a terrific young talent like Nick
    Flanagan," explained Nick Raffaele, vice president, sports marketing
    for Callaway Golf. "Nick's belief that playing the best equipment in
    the game will help him win on the PGA Tour solidified our desire to
    work with him. We're really looking forward to being a part of his
    success."
