Oliver Brewer, President and CEO of Topgolf Callaway Brands, has described the current business environment as "the new normal," characterized by ongoing turbulence from events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation, multiple wars, supply chain disruptions, and tariffs. He has stated that leaders must accept this reality and learn to deal with the pace of change, advising them to be aware of their "shot clock" and to act neither too fast nor too slowly. Brewer has also discussed the concept of character in leadership, citing Arnold Palmer's quote that golf "doesn't so much build character as it reveals it," and adding that he believes it also builds character. Brewer has emphasized the company's focus on "modern golf," which he defines as the combination of traditional golf equipment with off-course golf entertainment led by Topgolf. He has stated that the company plans to build 11 Topgolf venues per year and noted that the venues have performed well across different regions. Brewer has also highlighted the use of artificial intelligence in product design, describing it as a major area of investment, and has expressed optimism about the golf industry's momentum, citing high participation rates and the positive impact of remote and hybrid work on the business.
