Heres the thread from WRX:

now we CAN get some 24" spinners with a SC in the center. I'd like it if somehow titleist got to keep the SC name :P

"I'm sorry Mr Cameron, but the fact is that Titleist now owns the rights to your name. You can either pay us $5mm a year to license it back...or you can change your name to something else. Since you're going to Nike, may we suggest Mista Lotaputts?"

I don't think it will happen.
I am about to buy my first Scotty Cameron on Sunday, this can't happen.

With this new found change, its rarity will surely increase its intrinsic value.

What exactly are you purchasing...

SC might see switching as an even greater opportunity to market the living poop outta even more useless over priced trinkets and renew his license to print money.

BREAKING NEWS!

Cobra was first with the sale of Puma now possibly Titleist and Scotty will be sold off separately as well.

From what we have heard from an incredible source the two names that almost go hand and hand could soon be apart and on their own. Titleist has had many rumors in the past years about either being sold off or becoming its own company one separate from Fortune Brands. And now we are hearing that they are looking to sell both of them off as separate pieces.

The names we are hearing are incredibly Nike and Adidas.

Titleist & Scotty SPLITTNG UP? (UPDATE 11-13-2010)

Looks like the rumor we heard back in March of this year is becoming closer to a reality.

Fortune Brands spokesman are hinting of the rumor which is all but fact now that they are trying to unload their golf brands (Titleist & Scotty) and get out of the ailing golf industry.

Callaway, Nike, etc. will all most likely be contacted with a pitch about the possible acquisition.

Forget Callaway because:

1. The Odyssey brand is #1 in putter sales worldwide.

2, With major consolidations to their operations taking place, I doubt they would burn cash on a "duplicate" product line.

Nike will not be interested. Just a hunch.
Callaway might bite, and treat them like Hogan.

Titleist can sell 100 at $400.
Callaway can sell 5000 at $100.
Nike will sell 50 at $400, then drop the price and sell 8000 at $80.
