                    Ashworth, Inc. Reports Second Quarter And
       YTD Fiscal 2006 Financial Results; Continued Strong Improvement in
      Operational Execution; Profitability Returns to Historical Levels in
        First Half of Fiscal 2006 Due to Profit Improvement Initiatives

    CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 6, 2006--Ashworth, Inc.
(NASDAQ: ASHW), a leading designer of golf-inspired lifestyle
sportswear, today announced financial results for its second quarter
ended April 30, 2006.

    Second Quarter Highlights:

    During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company's management
team, with the strong and active support of its Board of Directors,
continued to implement the profit improvement initiatives outlined in
the fourth quarter of 2005. The ongoing implementation of many of
these actions, which were designed to improve the Company's
operational execution and financial performance, have generated second
quarter results comparable to historical performance levels as well as
several other notable achievements. Highlights for the second quarter
of fiscal 2006 include:



   --  Total Company sales of $66.0 million, up 2.1% over last year;

   --  Consolidated EPS of $0.32 per share, as compared to $0.34 per
       share in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 on a fully diluted
       basis. Included in the current quarter results are special
       selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses totaling
       approximately $0.8 million, or $0.03 per diluted share on an
       after-tax basis, that were not incurred in the same quarter of
       the prior year;

   --  Sales growth in five of six distribution channels:

       --  Fourth successive quarter of strong double digit growth in
           the corporate channel

       --  Improved merchandising in the retail channel resulting in
           strong year over year growth in sales while reducing
           granted markdown allowances as compared to the second half
           of fiscal 2005

       --  Continued growth in the international channel driven
           primarily by sales in Europe

       --  Solid growth in the collegiate channel;

   --  Gross margin returning to historical levels;

   --  Continued to meet operating direct labor efficiency targets at
       the Company's U.S. Embroidery and Distribution Center (EDC);
       and

   --  Agreement reached relating to the Company's 2006 Annual
       Meeting of Stockholders.


    Summary of Second Quarter Results:

    Consolidated net revenue for the second quarter ended April 30,
2006 increased 2.1% to $66.0 million as compared to $64.7 million for
the second quarter of 2005. The Company reported consolidated second
quarter net income of $4.7 million, or $0.32 per diluted share,
compared to net income of $4.8 million, or $0.34 per diluted share,
for the same quarter of the prior year. Net revenue for the domestic
segment increased 1.9% to $52.8 million from $51.9 million for the
same period of the prior year. Net revenue from the international
segment increased 3.0% to $13.2 million from $12.8 million for the
same period of the prior year.
    In the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company's gross margin
was 45.3%, which remains in line with historical levels for the second
consecutive quarter, as compared to 43.4% in the second quarter of
2005. This gross margin improvement was driven primarily by an
increase in sales of full margin products and improved direct labor
efficiencies at the Company's domestic EDC.
    Included in the SG&A expenses for the second quarter of fiscal
2006 are pre-tax charges of approximately $0.8 million, primarily
consulting and legal expenses associated with the now-resolved issues
relating to the Company's 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the
ongoing exploration of strategic alternatives and stock option
expenses. These special SG&A expenses, on an after tax basis, equate
to a $0.03 per diluted share reduction in earnings for the second
quarter.

    Profit Improvement Initiatives

    "We are pleased with the significantly improved operational and
financial results across our organization," stated Randall L. Herrel,
Sr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Over the first two
quarters of fiscal 2006, we have achieved solid results and returned
Ashworth to historical levels of profitability. These results
demonstrate the continued positive and prompt impact of the many
actions we have taken since we implemented the initial phase of our
profit improvement initiatives. These included increased efficiency at
the EDC, lower retail markdowns as compared to the second half of
fiscal 2005, improved gross margin management and enhanced domestic
inventory management. And while we are pleased that our first half
results reflect the success of these initiatives, there is still more
work to be done. To that end, we have already implemented additional
profit improvement initiatives to further complete our operational and
financial turnaround. These additional initiatives include improving
sales in our core green grass golf channel, continuing to focus on
product innovation and further strengthening our global supply chain
processes.
    "We took these actions to support our multi-brand, multi-channel
business, generate acceptable returns in all of our channels, and
enhance value for our stockholders. We remain committed to continuing
to take the necessary steps to drive growth, improve returns in our
channels, and build upon this positive momentum."

    Domestic Golf Channel:

    Total revenues in the domestic golf channel in the second quarter
2006 decreased to $27.9 million, or 9.0%, from the same period last
year. Management believes that the overall softness in the traditional
green grass channels adversely affected the Company's sales in the
first half of fiscal 2006. The Company has seen growth in its
technical product lines, which has partially offset the decline in
sales of the Company's more traditional all-cotton product lines, and
believes that its more balanced product offering positions it for
future growth in this channel. The Company noted that growth in this
channel is one of its key additional profit improvement initiatives.

    International Channel:

    Revenues from the international distribution channel were $13.2
million, an increase of 3.0% over the same period last year. Revenues
were primarily driven by growth in the Company's European subsidiary
which is attributable to growth in Callaway Golf apparel, the Women's
product line and the international corporate channel.

    Corporate Channel:

    Revenues for the corporate distribution channel were $7.3 million,
an increase of 20.8% over the same period last year. Driven by the
success of new growth strategies, the corporate channel's second
quarter results represent the fourth consecutive quarter of strong
double digit growth. With this significant growth rate, Management
believes that the Company is continuing to gain market share in the
channel. The positive results reflect growth in the Ashworth(R) and
Callaway Golf apparel brands, as well as the launch of Ashworth's
AWS(TM) collection into the corporate channel.

    Retail Channel:

    Revenues for the retail distribution channel were $7.0 million, an
increase of 22.2% over the same period last year. The retail channel
experienced significant growth in both brands in the second quarter of
2006 primarily resulting from new initiatives, including a new
merchandising strategy and improved product mix. The Company's shift
in its merchandising to focus more on classic key items and less on
fashion merchandise, along with the introduction of technical
performance products, has resulted in improved sell-through and
significantly lower markdowns as compared to the second half of fiscal
2005, as well as a strong order backlog for the balance of the 2006
season.

    Ashworth East:

    Second quarter revenues for Ashworth East were $8.1 million, an
increase of 2.7% over the same period last year. Revenues for The
Game(R), the Company's brand in the collegiate bookstore channel,
increased 12.5% primarily due to cross selling of Ashworth apparel
into the collegiate/bookstore channel as well as the direct import
headwear program. Sales of the Company's brand in the NASCAR/racing
channel decreased 32.0%, primarily due to the sale of one major
customer to an acquiring company. The Company believes, however, that
sales in the NASCAR/racing channel in the second half of fiscal 2006
will be up based on pre-book order trends from that acquiring company.
All other sales increased 33.7 % primarily as a result of being the
exclusive on-site event merchandiser for the 2006 Kentucky Derby.

    Company-Owned Outlet Stores:

    Revenues from the Company-owned outlet stores were $2.5 million,
an increase of 63.9% over the same period last year. Since the second
quarter of 2005, the Company added a net of six new outlet stores
(eight outlet openings, two outlet closings) bringing the Company's
total number of outlet stores to 14. The new outlet stores net of
closings contributed $0.9 million in sales in the second quarter of
fiscal 2006 while sales on a comparative store basis increased 8.2% as
compared to last year's second quarter.

    Embroidery and Distribution Center (EDC):

    The Company's EDC business continues to meet operating direct
labor efficiency targets. The EDC performed efficiently, especially
during the Company's peak processing second quarter which has
historically been the most challenging. Positive results for the EDC
were driven by efficiency measures that focused on direct labor
utilization. As a result of the improved efficiency, the Company has
been able to better serve customers, provide quicker turnaround to the
Company's corporate and golf customers for their at-once needs,
improve the quality of the Company's embroidery operations, reduce
customer returns for processing defects, achieve higher customer
satisfaction, provide additional capacity for improved economies of
scale, and support the Company's multi-brand, multi-channel growth
strategy. The Company also noted that labor overtime at the EDC
continues to trend favorably and is significantly below last year's
levels.

    Balance Sheet:

    The Company's Balance Sheet, which was a key area of focus in the
initial phase of the profit improvement initiatives, continued to show
improvement in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 primarily due to a
focus on inventory and accounts receivable initiatives.
    As a result of the Company's implementation of multiple inventory
and supply chain initiatives, overall net inventory decreased 1.5% to
$53.1 million as of April 30, 2006 as compared to $53.9 million as of
April 30, 2005, while sales grew 2.1% for the second quarter of fiscal
2006 as compared to the same period last year. Overall net inventory
for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 also decreased 14.0%, or $8.6
million, from the first quarter of fiscal 2006. Domestic net
inventory, excluding Ashworth East, decreased 15.7% from the second
quarter of 2005. All other inventory grew 39.5% to $19.3 million as of
April 30, 2006 as compared to $13.8 million as of April 30, 2005 to
support third quarter fiscal 2006 sales initiatives.
    Net accounts receivable decreased 3.2% to $50.7 million at April
30, 2006 as compared to $52.4 million at April 30, 2005, while
revenues increased 2.1% for the second quarter. This resulted in an
improvement in the DSOs to 70 days in the second quarter of fiscal
2006 from 74 days in the same period last year.

    FY 2006 Guidance

    The Company reaffirmed its previously stated consolidated revenue
guidance for fiscal 2006 of approximately $210 to $220 million. Based
on current trends, the Company also reaffirmed its guidance for
consolidated net earnings for fiscal 2006 of $0.48 to $0.56 per
diluted share. Management noted that this guidance is dependent upon
achieving traditional in-season order trends. The guidance could also
be adversely impacted by higher than expected expenses to be incurred
in implementing initiatives to improve sales growth in the Company's
green grass distribution channel and the ongoing exploration of
strategic alternatives.

    Agreement with The Knightspoint Group

    As previously announced, on May 5, 2006, Ashworth and The
Knightspoint Group reached an agreement relating to Ashworth's 2006
Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Under the terms of the agreement, the
Company appointed two of Knightspoint's proposed candidates, David M.
Meyer, Managing Member of Knightspoint Partners LLC, and Peter M.
Weil, Partner of Lighthouse Retail Group LLC, as new independent
directors to Ashworth's Board of Directors, effective May 8, 2006. Mr.
Meyer and Mr. Weil will be included in the Company's proxy statement
as candidates for election at the 2006 Annual Meeting. In addition, a
third independent director, to be mutually agreed upon by Knightspoint
and the Company, will be added to the Board as soon as practicable.
Additional terms of the agreement are available in the Company's Form
8-K that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May
9, 2006.
    As part of the agreement, Knightspoint withdrew its proposed
Bylaws amendments and its nomination of candidates for election to the
Board and has agreed to vote its shares in favor of all of the Board's
nominees. Ashworth's 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders has been
scheduled for July 17, 2006.
    Also as part of the agreement, the Company's Board of Directors
established a new Special Committee of five directors to oversee the
Company's ongoing exploration of a range of strategic alternatives to
enhance stockholder value, including a possible sale of the Company.
The Special Committee is comprised of Mr. Meyer, Mr. Weil, Mr. Herrel,
Mr. James Hayes and Mr. Stephen Carpenter. The Company continues to
note that there can be no assurance that any transaction or other
corporate action will result from this effort.

    Summary

    Mr. Herrel concluded, "We are pleased that our results for the
first half of 2006 reflect the continued success of our profit
improvement initiatives. We have brought operations more in line with
historical levels, consistently grown sales in five of six
distribution channels, returned gross margins to historical levels and
settled the proxy contest. We have also worked diligently on our
exploration of strategic alternatives.
    "Our Board and Management are committed to building upon this
positive momentum and generating improvements across our distribution
channels. We remain focused on implementing additional initiatives to
improve sales growth in our core green grass golf distribution channel
and continuing to provide innovative product to our customers. Our
Board and Management believe that Ashworth is well-positioned for
continued profitable growth and value creation and we believe that
continued execution of Ashworth's initiatives will generate positive
returns for all of our stockholders," concluded Mr. Herrel.

This earnings release includes information presented on an
adjusted non-GAAP basis. These adjusted non-GAAP financial measures
are considered "non-GAAP" financial measures within the meaning of SEC
Regulation G. The Company believes that this presentation of adjusted
non-GAAP financial results provides useful information to both
management and investors to better understand the impact of excess
SG&A expenses associated with the now-resolved issues relating to the
Company's 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the ongoing exploration
of strategic alternatives, stock option expenses and certain public
company costs booked in the first six months of fiscal 2006 but not
incurred last year. The presentation of this additional information
should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The reconciliation set forth below is provided in accordance with
Regulation G and reconciles the adjusted non-GAAP financial measure
with the most directly comparable GAAP-based financial measure.
