How can I be sure that I purchase authentic TaylorMade products?
Buy only from authorized TaylorMade dealers. For an authorized dealer near you, visit the retail locator.

I am looking at a set of clubs on eBay. How can I tell if they are authentic?
Does the deal sound too good to be true? If it does, it probably is.

Are multiple clubs are being sold together in one auction? Merchandise sold through auctions featuring 14 clubs and a bag often turns out to be counterfeit product. Also, metalwoods sold in groups, such as a driver together with fairway woods, often turn out to be counterfeit.

Look at where the goods are coming from. If the goods are being shipped from outside of the US – and particularly if the goods are being shipped from China or Hong Kong - there is an increased chance they are counterfeit.

Club heads sold as separate components have an exceptionally high incidence of turning out to be counterfeit. Authorized TaylorMade dealers do not sell TaylorMade club heads by themselves on eBay.

It may still be difficult to determine whether the goods the seller will send you are authentic. Sellers of counterfeit goods have resorted to tactics such as lying about the location of the goods and depicting pictures of authentic product while shipping goods that are counterfeit.

Your best bet – buy from an authorized TaylorMade dealer.

How can I tell if the clubs I just purchased are authentic?
You can compare your club against pictures posted on this website. If you notice differences in color, shape, markings or finish quality, you probably bought a fake.

You may also consider taking your club to your local authorized TaylorMade dealer to have the dealer inspect it.

Unfortunately, passing a visual inspection does not guarantee that the club is authentic. The only way to be sure is to purchase from authorized TaylorMade dealers.
