TopGOLF Callaway Brands宣布TopGOLF首席执行官Artie StarRS辞职

CARLSBAD, Calif., July 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp. (the "Company" or "Topgolf Callaway Brands," "we," "our," "us") (NYSE: MODG) announced the resignation of Artie Starrs, who is expected to remain with the Company through September 2025 to assist with an orderly transition. The Company confirmed that Mr. Starrs has accepted another CEO position with an undisclosed business. The Company is conducting an executive search for Mr. Starrs' replacement. 

"We are pleased with Topgolf's second quarter financial results and improving same venue sales trends, which reflect the significant actions taken this year," commented Chip Brewer, President and CEO of Topgolf Callaway Brands. "We look forward to providing more detail when we report our Q2 earnings next week. We also thank Artie for his leadership and many contributions to Topgolf and wish him well in his new endeavor. Artie's departure does not affect our strategic direction or commitment to separating Topgolf, and we are still pursuing a spin-off or sale of Topgolf. Given this development, it is likely that a spin-off transaction would not occur until 2026, after a new CEO is in place."
