PING Golf Factory Tour

PING Golf Factory Tour

© 2008 Judy Hedding

As you walk with your guide through the various sections of the PING manufacturing plant you'll see real employees, many of whom have worked there for decades, performing real tasks. They are making heads for clubs, analyzing shafts, painting logos, adjusting weights and balances, filling orders, monitoring molding processes, implementing quality checks, and doing the hundreds of tasks that go into creating various types of golf clubs. You'll see irons, woods and putters. You'll see accessories. You'll step into the international shipping area. You won't see much inventory -- don't forget to ask your tour guide why!

What you won't see at PING: You won't see any financial information about the company on any of the walls, in any of the brochures, or on the PING web site. You can't buy stock in PING. That's because it is a privately held company. It is owned primarily by the Solheim family. Will they tell you how much the company is worth? No, they won't.
