Based in Huntington Beach, California, Cleveland Golf began as a company known for producing replicas of classic golf clubs. Roger Cleveland founded the company, which was first called Cleveland Classics, in 1979. Persimmon woods like the TC15 became very popular on Tour, as did many Cleveland wedges. The most played wedge was the brand’s fifth design released in 1988 – the 588. To this day, the 588 wedge is one of the best selling golf clubs of all time.[1] In 1990, ski equipment manufacturer Rossignol purchased the company, and the name was changed to Cleveland Golf. Sales continued to grow with clubs such as VAS woods and irons. Later in the decade, Tour Action irons and QuadPro woods were introduced with more classic designs.{{citation needed|date=March 2014}} Cleveland Golf began to sponsor Tour players. Quiksilver, Inc., a surf brand, purchased the assets of Rossignol in 2005 and operated Cleveland Golf until December 2007. At that point, Dunlop Sports Co. Ltd. purchased Cleveland Golf.
