Callaway's Kuboya Wins Second Consecutive Victory in Japan

Callaway Golf (NYSE: ELY) Staff Professional Kenichi Kuboya has claimed his second consecutive Japan Golf Tour title, winning the Munsingwear Open KSB
Cup on Sunday.

Once again, Kuboya was victorious using his Big Bertha(R) ERC(R) II Forged Titanium Driver and the CTU 30(TM) golf ball. The victory vaulted Kuboya to the top of the Japan Golf Tour money list and was the centerpiece of another week full of strong performances for Callaway Golf(R) products around the world.

The winner of the Chukyo TV Bridgestone Ladies Open used an
original ERC Forged Titanium Driver, Steelhead(TM) fairway woods and
an Odyssey(R) White Hot(R) 5 Putter. The veteran South Korean golfer
finished at 4-under-par 212 at the 54-hole event.

Kuboya earned his victory by forcing a playoff with an eagle on
the final hole of regulation play, then birdied the fourth extra hole
for his second consecutive playoff win. Kuboya finished regulation
play at 11-under-par 273 at Ayutaki Country Club. Using his ERC II
Forged Titanium Driver, Kuboya is among the Japan Golf Tour driving
distance leaders at 285.7 yards this year.

With Kuboya's consecutive victories, Callaway Golf's CTU 30 Red ball has now been used to win five of the seven events played on the Japan Golf Tour this season, including the last three.

In all, Callaway Golf balls are a strong second in both victories
and usage across the world's six major professional tours this year.
Callaway Golf balls have been used to win 20 events on the PGA, LPGA,
Senior PGA, Buy.com, PGA European and Japan Golf tours combined, while
accounting for 21.1 percent of all balls in play.

Callaway Golf has earned at least one ball win in each of the last six weeks. A total of 185 tour professionals teed it up with Callaway Golf balls during the
week ending May 26, 2002. Aside from Titleist, no other ball
manufacturer had more than 51 balls in play during the week.

Kuboya used a total of 12 Callaway Golf clubs at the Munsingwear
Open KSB Cup, including Steelhead X-14(R) Pro Series Irons and an
Odyssey TriHot(TM) 3 Putter.

Eight of the top 10 finishers at the event used Odyssey Putters -- the putter brand that has been used to win six of the seven Japan Golf Tour events played this year. Odyssey Putters were used to win four of the five tour events
contested last weekend.

In addition to Kuboya's victory, the winners of the Memorial Tournament (Odyssey White Hot 5 Putter) LPGA Corning Classic (Odyssey Dual Force(R) 330 Mallet Putter) and Volvo PGA Championship (Odyssey White Hot 4 Putter) all relied on the exceptional feel and accuracy of Odyssey Putters. Odyssey Golf has now won 29 times on the world's six major professional tours combined this
year, compared with 19 wins for the nearest competitor.

Odyssey Golf is also No. 1 in putter usage across the six major professional tours combined with 32.9 percent of all putters in play.
