Eight people in China have been jailed for selling counterfeit golf equipment after complaints by leading brands including Nike Golf, Ping, Taylor Made and Titleist.
The Beijing Chaoyang District People’s Court handed down the sentences, ranging from one to four years, following an investigation in which almost 10,000 pieces of counterfeit equipment were seized.
The raids were carried out after complaints were filed by the US Golf Manufacturers Anti-Counterfeiting Working Group, which was formed in 2004 to petition governments to enforce their country’s laws against counterfeiters of golf equipment.
The group consists of many of the world’s leading golf equipment manufacturers such as Acushnet (Titleist, FootJoy and Cobra Golf); Callaway Golf and Odyssey; Top-Flite and Ben Hogan; Cleveland Golf and Srixon; Nike Golf; Ping; and TaylorMade-Adidas Golf and Ashworth.
