The raids by local Chinese authorities resulted in the seizure of tens of thousands of counterfeit items including clubs, club heads, shafts, head covers and bags, as well as the equipment used to manufacture them.
"We are very pleased with the continued success the group has had in collaborating with Chinese law enforcement and taking action against counterfeiters," said Christa McNamara, vice-president of corporate communications for TaylorMade adidas Golf. "The group had its most productive year in 2012 and we're glad that we've begun 2013 with a big success."
In 2012, more than 500,000 counterfeit golf products were seized with the assistance of Chinese law enforcement. The efforts were highlighted by a clustering campaign initiative that resulted in more than 30 arrests from raids on 14 locations.
