golf-inspired lifestyle sportswear, today announced the implementation of its plan to realign its
finance, sourcing, production, distribution, design, sales and marketing management to better
support its multi-brand, multi-channel business model and further leverage the strength of its

<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">The Company has appointed a permanent Chief Financial Officer, has made certain changes in its
merchandising and design department to improve future product line sell-through, and has made
changes in its product sourcing and inventory planning departments to improve future forecasting
and inventory turns.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">The Company&#146;s Board of Directors (the &#147;Board&#148;) has approved the appointment of Mr.&nbsp;Peter S. Case to
the position of Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Company

President and Chief Operating Officer of Ashworth, Inc. to pursue other career opportunities. Mr.
Gasseholm&#146;s primary focus had been the Company&#146;s distribution center operations, supply chain, and
customer service functions on a global basis. The Company has decided not to replace Mr.&nbsp;Gasseholm
at this time and has reassigned his duties to other executives in the Company.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">In addition to their regular duties, Mr.&nbsp;Case together with Mr.&nbsp;Randall L. Herrel, Sr., the
Company&#146;s CEO, will oversee the operation of the Company&#146;s U.S. Embroidery and Distribution Center
in Oceanside, California. Mr.&nbsp;Holmberg will oversee the Company&#146;s global Sourcing and Production
departments and Mr.&nbsp;Gary I. (Sims) Schneiderman, the Company&#146;s Executive Vice President of Sales

<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">These senior organizational changes are designed to improve performance in the Company&#146;s
departments and distribution channels. The Company has realigned its departments and functions to
facilitate growth and better support its multi-brand, multi-channel business model. Additionally,
