Takomo Golf is entering the putter game in a big way
Famed for its affordable irons, the Finnish company is crashing the flat stick party with the acquisition of putter start-up Otso.
Beginning life as a plucky upstart making affordable, premium irons that left golfers as intrigued as they were skeptical, Takomo in 2025 is an entirely different beast.
The Finnish brand remains steadfast to its ethos of manufacturing clubs that rival the look and feel of the biggest brands around while cutting costs due to its direct-to-consumer model, but now does so with the luxury of genuine mainstream recognition. Tour pro Wesley Bryan and golf YouTube star Grant Horvat are just two of Takomo's brand's most famous investors, and its flagship clubs are regularly included among conversations among the best irons you can buy.
Takomo's range has grown in recent times to match its rapidly ballooning status. The brand now boasts multiple iron ranges catering to just about every type of player out there, along with wedges and, starting this year, its debut driver: the Ignis D1.
Takomo has, until now at least, been hesitant to enter the highly specialised world of putters. But that looks set to change as it announced this week that it will be acquiring fellow Finnish company Otso, which designs and manufactures small-batch low-torque putters.
“This acquisition represents a natural evolution of our mission to provide technologically advanced, beautifully designed equipment that golfers can actually afford,” Takomo CEO Sebastian Haapahovi said in a statement. “As we continue our rapid growth, adding Otso’s innovative low-torque putters and design capabilities to our lineup allows us to deliver world-class Finnish craftsmanship and the putter technology golfers everywhere are asking for.”
Up until the agreement of the announcement, Otso had launched just a single solitary putter model: a heel-shafted, low-torque half-moon mid-mallet called the D1.
It appears from the announcement that Otso will continue to make the D1, and a host of other putters, under their own name, and will form an independent arm of Takomo's wider company (think the same sort of agreement brands like Scotty Cameron and Odyssey have with Titleist and Callaway respectively).
What Takomo have bought under the agreement, however, is the rights to Otso's designs as well as the services of Otso CEO Miika Farin, who will join Takomo as its new senior product designer and lead the creation of a new Takomo-branded putter family.
