A series of three police raids in Dongguan City, China, led to the seizure of 9,769 pieces of counterfeit golf clubs and components, according to David Dusek of Golfweek.
The raids also found 10,600 pieces of trademark labels, with XXIO, Titleist, TaylorMade, PXG, Callaway and Ping among the brands being counterfeited.
The bust came thanks to the work of the U.S. Golf Manufacturers Anti-Counterfeiting Working Group, an organization of six major golf companies formed in 2004.
"The job of protecting golfers across the world from counterfeiters is one we take tremendous pride in," said Lisa Rogan, Director of Brand Protection for Titleist.
