Cleveland Golf is a sporting goods company owned by SRI Sports Limited, a subsidiary of Sumitomo Rubber Industries Ltd. The company creates golf equipment. Based in Huntington Beach, California, Cleveland Golf began as a company producing replicas of classic golf clubs. The company was founded as the Cleveland Classics by Roger Cleveland in 1979.[1]
In 1990, ski equipment manufacturer Skis Rossignol purchased the company, and the name was changed to Cleveland Golf. It grew with the sales of clubs such as VAS woods and irons. Later in the decade, Tour Action irons and QuadPro woods were introduced with "more classic designs."[citation needed]
Quiksilver, Inc. purchased the assets of Rossignol in 2005[2] and operated Cleveland Golf until December 2007. At that point, Dunlop Sport purchased Cleveland Golf. Dunlop Sports Co. Ltd. owns and operates several brands in North America. In addition to its North American headquarters in Huntington Beach, California, Cleveland Golf has three international affiliates located in Japan, Europe, and Canada, as well as 26 worldwide distributors.[citation needed]
In 2026, Roger Cleveland returned to Cleveland Golf to design a line of wedge clubs based on the fifth generation wedges the company released in 1988.[3]
