Many companies around the world are experiencing supply chain problems due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has led to labor shortages and a number of supply chain issues. Golf ball manufacturing is not an exception.
To keep up with the demand, many of the most recognizable brands in golf are looking to Korea.
If you’re wondering which golf ball manufacturers have their products made in Korea, this list will help you.
