Callaway Golf Canada Joins CPGA Retirement Advantage Program 

ACTON, ON (October 12, 2007) - Callaway Golf Canada and the Canadian PGA (CPGA) announced today Callaway’s participation in the CPGA’s Retirement Advantage Program.

Modeled after the successful PGA of America’s plan, the CPGA Retirement Advantage is a program by which Callaway Golf and other supplier partners sales’ incentives can be contributed directly to a RRSP account on a tax free basis for CPGA Professionals.

““We are thrilled to partner with Callaway Golf Canada,” stated Steve Carroll, Executive Director of the Canadian PGA. “We feel that their product lines are a key component of our Retirement Advantage Program and that their support and dedication to this program reveals their strong allegiance to our Members.””

The Retirement Advantage program is organized and administered by the CPGA on behalf of its Members. Retirement Advantage is a group RRSP whereby CPGA Members can contribute annually with no administration or service fees. The investments are managed by Manulife one of the largest and most successful RRSP providers in the country. CPGA Members can also choose from a variety of investment funds and access their accounts on-line.

“We are very pleased to become a partner in this program,” commented Callaway Golf Canada Managing Director Scott Reid. “This is a great way to support the Canadian PGA and show our appreciation on how much they contribute to the game of golf. It really is a win-win for the entire golf industry”.
