So Claar Advisors just dropped $7.31M on Callaway Golf in Q4 2025. That's 626k shares. Not exactly a massive fund position - only 2.14% of their AUM - but still interesting that someone's betting on golf equipment demand staying strong.

Callaway's up 108% over the past year, which is wild. I guess people really are upgrading their clubs. The whole golf index has been performing better than most expected, especially with Topgolf doing its thing in the entertainment space.

Here's the thing though - the company's margins are getting hit by tariffs and costs. They're banking on new product launches driving replacement cycles, not on more people actually playing golf. So it's less about golf participation and more about whether golfers will actually buy the new gear when it drops.

Claar's clearly thinking yes. But that's a pretty specific bet on product timing and consumer willingness to upgrade. Feels like it could go either way depending on how their next launches land.
