The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, after which the company will change its name to Callaway Golf Company and update its ticker symbol to CALY, with shares continuing to trade on the New York Stock Exchange.

Topgolf Callaway Brands shares closed Monday's trading at $10.88, down 3.46%.
