A golf industry rivalry has teed off in court. TaylorMade has sued competitor Callaway, alleging that sales representatives, ambassadors, and influencers conducted UV-light demonstrations suggesting TaylorMade golf balls had paint imperfections that could cause poor performance — even calling them "mud balls." TaylorMade argues the demonstrations are misleading and unrelated to real-world performance, claiming the visual differences simply reflect cosmetic additives like UV brighteners rather than quality or flight characteristics.
