                    Ashworth, Inc. Reports Third Quarter and
     First Nine Months of Fiscal 2006 Financial Results; Updates Strategic
                  Evaluation Process and Fiscal 2006 Guidance


    CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 7, 2006--Ashworth, Inc.
(NASDAQ:ASHW), a leading designer of golf-inspired lifestyle
sportswear, today announced financial results for its third quarter
and first nine months ended July 31, 2006.

    Third Quarter and Year-to-Date Highlights:

    During the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2006, the
Company's management team continued to implement the profit
improvement initiatives outlined in the fourth quarter of 2005.
Highlights for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2006
include:


    --  Third quarter consolidated sales of $52.8 million were up 9.3%
        over last year, and first nine months consolidated sales of
        $159.4 million were up 6.7% over the same period last year;

    --  Third quarter consolidated EPS of $0.05 per diluted share, as
        compared to a loss of ($0.24) per share in the third quarter
        of fiscal 2005, and first nine months EPS of $0.37 compared to
        $0.11 for the same period of the prior year on a fully diluted
        basis. Included in the current results are special expenses
        related to the 2006 proxy contest, strategic alternatives
        process, implementation of FAS 123R, and Sarbanes-Oxley 404
        ("SOX 404") totaling approximately $0.4 million pretax for the
        third quarter and $2.0 million pretax for the first nine
        months, that were not incurred in the same periods of the
        prior year. Last year's three and nine-months results included
        approximately $4.4 million of inventory provisions and
        approximately $3.0 million of higher than normal retail
        markdown charges

    --  Sales growth in five of six distribution channels:

        --  Fifth successive quarter of strong 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

        --  Continued growth in the Company-owned outlet store channel
            on a comparable store basis and the addition of new stores

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

    --  Net Inventory levels declined 2.2% over the prior year.

    Summary of Third Quarter and First Nine Months Results:

    Consolidated net revenue for the third quarter ended July 31, 2006
increased 9.3% to $52.8 million as compared to $48.3 million for the
third quarter of 2005. The Company reported consolidated third quarter
net income of $0.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to a
net loss of $(3.4) million, or $(0.24) per diluted share, for the same
quarter of the prior year. Net revenue for the domestic segment
increased 7.0% to $42.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2006
from $40.0 million for the same period of the prior year. Net revenue
from the international segment increased 20.8% to $10.0 million for
the third quarter of fiscal 2006 from $8.3 million for the same period
of the prior year.
    Consolidated net revenue for the first nine months ended July 31,
2006 increased 6.7% to $159.4 million as compared to $149.5 million
for the first nine months of fiscal 2005. The Company reported
consolidated net income of $5.3 million, or $0.37 per diluted share,
for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 compared to net income of
$1.5 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the same period of the
prior year. Included in the current results are special expenses
related to the 2006 proxy contest, strategic alternatives process,
implementation of FAS 123R and SOX 404, totaling approximately $0.4
million for the third quarter and $2.0 million for the first nine
months that were not incurred in the same periods of the prior year.
Net revenue for the domestic segment increased 5.1% to $130.4 million
for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 from $124.0 million for the
same period of the prior year. Net revenue from the international
segment increased 14.1% to $29.0 million for the first nine months of
fiscal 2006 from $25.4 million for the same period of the prior year.
    In the third quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company's gross margin
was 41.0% compared to 31.1% for the third quarter of 2005. For the
first nine months of fiscal 2006, the gross margin was 43.6% compared
to 38.6% for the same period of fiscal 2005. This gross margin
improvement was primarily due to the previously noted retail markdown
charges and inventory provisions taken in 2005 and an improved
merchandising strategy focused on classic key item products with a
lower percentage of fashion products in the Company's domestic retail
distribution channel which resulted in improved sell-through at
retail. The improved sell-through has resulted in a reduction in the
actual markdown allowances requested and granted as well improvements
in domestic inventory management, yielding lower reserve requirements
as compared to the same quarter in the prior year. The gross margin
also benefited from continued improvement in direct labor efficiencies
at the Company's domestic EDC.
    Included in the selling, general and administrative ("SG&A")
expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 are pre-tax charges of
approximately $0.4 million, consisting primarily of consulting and
legal expenses associated with the now-resolved issues relating to the
Company's 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the exploration of
strategic alternatives and FAS 123R stock option expenses not incurred
in the same period last year. Included in the first nine months of
fiscal 2006 are pre-tax charges of approximately $2.0 million for
these SG&A expenses including SOX 404 related expenses incurred in the
first quarter of fiscal 2006 and not incurred in the same period of
the prior year. On an after tax basis, these SG&A expenses equate to a
$0.01 per diluted share reduction in earnings for the third quarter
and $0.08 per diluted share for the first nine months of fiscal 2006.

    Profit Improvement Initiatives:

    Management noted that over the first three quarters of fiscal 2006
the Company has achieved solid results versus last year and has
returned to profitability. These results reflect the benefit of the
actions management has taken since the company implemented the initial
phase of its profit improvement initiatives in late 2005. These
included increased efficiency at the EDC, lower retail markdowns as
compared to the second half of fiscal 2005, and improved domestic
inventory management. Management also believes these and additional
actions being taken will continue to improve the company's operating
performance.

    Domestic Golf Channel:

    Total revenues in the domestic golf channel in the third quarter
of fiscal 2006 decreased to $17.3 million, or 18.5%, from the same
period last year. Management believes that the overall softness in the
golf industry combined with the proxy contest, strategic alternatives
process and product mix adversely affected the Company's sales in the
first nine months 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 Spring/Summer 2007 product offering
positions it for future growth in this channel which is supported by
very early prebook results.
    Some of the highlights for Spring/Summer 2007 in the Ashworth
brand include the introduction of the "Ashworth Perfect Foursome"
which includes the introduction of four new Authentic product
offerings that are unique to the market and exclusive to Ashworth,
along with an expanded offering of Ashworth Weather Systems(R) (AWS)
including replenishment styles, seasonal key items and three
Collections.
    The Callaway Golf apparel line for Spring/Summer 2007 includes an
expanded technical X Series line under the banner of The Callaway Golf
Performance Center. The Performance Center introduces new elements of
X Series including: Drysport(TM), Windsport(TM), Warmsport(TM) and
Rainsport(TM) supporting the key performance needs of the core golf
market.
    In addition, Callaway Golf apparel has introduced a new luxury
performance pant and short called Tour Authentic(TM). The Tour
Authentic bottoms line continues a long history of strong bottoms
business for the brand and takes it to the next level with an
unprecedented combination of performance and comfort.

    Corporate Channel:

    Revenues for the corporate distribution channel were $7.5 million
for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of 7.1% over the same
period last year. The increase in net revenues in the corporate
distribution channel was primarily due to the success of certain sales
promotions and the addition of technical performance product
offerings.

    Retail Channel:

    Third quarter revenues for the retail distribution channel were
$2.9 million, an increase of $2.3 million over the same period last
year which was adversely impacted by the previously mentioned retail
markdown. This year's sales performance benefited from the Company's
enhanced merchandising strategy focused on classic key item products
with a lower percentage of fashion products. Sell-through of early
Fall/Holiday 2006 product in the channel continues to improve and, as
a result, the Company anticipates continued success in managing
markdown allowances.

    Ashworth East (Gekko Brands, LLC):

    Third quarter revenues for Ashworth East were $11.9 million, an
increase of 34.4% over the same period last year. The increase was
primarily due to cross-selling of Ashworth(R) apparel into the
collegiate/bookstore channel, the direct import headwear program,
increased sales in the NASCAR/racing channel as well 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 $2.9 million
for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of 38.5% over the same
period last year. Since the end of the third quarter of 2005, the
Company added a net of two new outlet stores (four outlet openings and
two outlet closings) bringing the Company's total number of outlet
stores to 16. The new outlet stores net of closings contributed $0.3
million in sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 while sales on a
comparative store basis increased 12.6% as compared to last year's
third quarter.

    International Channel:

    Third quarter revenues from the international distribution channel
were $10.0 million, an increase of 20.8% over the same period last
year. The increase in revenues was primarily driven by growth in the
Company's European subsidiary which is attributable to increased
demand in the United Kingdom and Ireland and the addition of new
corporate channel partners in mainland Europe, partially offset by
lower royalty revenues from international distributors.

    Embroidery and Distribution Center (EDC):

    The Company's EDC continues to meet operating direct labor
efficiency targets. 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 third quarter of fiscal 2006 primarily due to a
focus on domestic inventory management and accounts receivable
initiatives.
    As a result of the Company's implementation of multiple inventory
and supply chain initiatives, overall net inventory decreased 2.2% to
$53.0 million as of July 31, 2006 as compared to $54.2 million as of
July 31, 2005. Domestic net inventory, excluding Ashworth East,
decreased 10.9% from the third quarter of 2005. All other inventory
grew 18.1% to $19.1 million as of July 31, 2006 as compared to $16.2
million as of July 31, 2005 in support of third quarter fiscal 2006
sales growth, which was up 27.9% for these operations as compared to
the third quarter of fiscal 2005.
    Net accounts receivable increased 1.4% to $39.3 million at July
31, 2006 as compared to $38.8 million at July 31, 2005, while revenues
increased 9.3% for the third quarter as compared to last year.

    FY 2006 Guidance

    The Company stated that consolidated revenues for fiscal 2006 are
expected to be at the lower end of the previously indicated range of
$210 to $220 million. The Company noted that its previous guidance for
consolidated net earnings (EPS) for fiscal 2006 of $0.48 to $0.56 per
diluted share excluded the additional SG&A expenses associated with
the 2006 proxy contest and the strategic alternatives process.
Management also advised that this guidance was dependent on many
factors such as but not limited to achieving traditional in-season
order rates. Due to somewhat lower at-once order rates in the domestic
golf channel, the Company now expects its normal operating results
will be modestly below the low end of the previously provided EPS
guidance. In addition, the Company noted that certain SG&A expenses
may be higher that previously expected due to potential additional
profit improvement initiatives, organizational / structural changes,
and other actions the Company is considering in order to position the
Company for further growth in 2007.

    Evaluation of Strategic Alternatives:

    Commencing in November 2005, the Company's Board of Directors, in
consultation with its independent financial advisor, Houlihan Lokey
Howard & Zukin, undertook an extensive review and evaluation of a
range of strategic alternatives, including a possible sale of the
Company, to enhance value for all stockholders. At the present time,
the Board has determined that the interests of the Company's
stockholders will best be served by focusing principally on improving
the Company's operations and financial performance. The Board remains
committed to enhancing value for all Ashworth stockholders and remains
open to considering any and all alternatives that would achieve that
goal. As a result, the Company will continue to carefully consider
available strategic alternatives opportunities if and when presented
as it focuses on key areas of potential operational improvement.

    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 additional
SG&A expenses associated with the now-resolved issues relating to the
Company's 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the exploration of
strategic alternatives, stock option expenses under FAS 123R and SOX
404 related expenses not incurred in the same period 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.
