No. 1 Driver on Tour

TaylorMade, the No. 1 driver on the PGA
Tour for 16 of the last 18 weeks (Darrell Survey), moved one step closer to
global tour domination today with the announcement of a driver count sweep
on all three major professional men's golf tours worldwide.

With wins at the Greater Greensboro Classic (PGA), the Portuguese Open
(European PGA) and The Crowns (Japanese PGA), TaylorMade becomes the only
manufacturer to produce such a sweep in 2001.

While the win at the Portuguese Open is TaylorMade's first solo driver count
victory in Europe this year, the company has tied for the top-played driver
twice previously (Alfred Dunhill Championship, Open de Espana). The Crowns
marks TaylorMade's third overall driver count win in Japan in 2001.

Other TaylorMade tour accomplishments this season:

- Swept all three U.S. major men's tours in driver count (tournaments ending
March 12 at the PGA Tour's Honda Classic, the Senior PGA Tour's SBC Senior
Classic and the BUY.COM Tour's BUY.COM Florida Classic);

- Had three individual player wins on the three major men's tours worldwide
in the same week (tournaments ending April 15 at PGA Tour's Worldcom
Classic, European PGA Tour's Moroccan Open and Japanese PGA Tour's Tsuruya
Open), and;

- Was the No. 1 driver played at Masters Tournament, the first time
TaylorMade had won a major championship driver count since 1995.
