PING
PING designs and manufactures golf clubs, putters, and accessories from its Phoenix headquarters, serving professional and amateur golfers worldwide.
PING is an American golf equipment manufacturer based in Phoenix, Arizona, founded in 1959 by Karsten Solheim, a General Electric engineer who started the company in his garage. The company operates as a subsidiary of Karsten Manufacturing Corporation and remains family-owned. Its name derives from the distinctive sound produced by its original putter at impact.
The company designs, engineers, and assembles a comprehensive range of golf products at its Phoenix headquarters, including men's, women's and juniors golf clubs, putters, golf bags, headwear, gloves and on-course accessories. PING's Anser putter, introduced in 1966, has achieved over 500 professional victories and is recognised as a legendary design that has been widely imitated across the industry.
PING pioneered several transformative technologies that have become industry standards: investment cast clubhead production, heel-toe weighting systems, and custom fitting programs. The company maintains strong relationships with professional golfers across major tours and has grown from a one-man operation into a global golf equipment powerhouse.
