<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Amendment No.&nbsp;2 amends and supplements the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on
Schedule&nbsp;14D-9 initially filed by Ashworth, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;), with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;) on October&nbsp;20, 2008 and subsequently amended by an
Amendment No.&nbsp;1 thereto on November&nbsp;10, 2008 (collectively, the &#147;Schedule&nbsp;14D-9&#148;). The Schedule
14D-9 relates to the tender offer commenced by PHX Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the
&#147;Purchaser&#148;) and wholly owned subsidiary of Taylor Made Golf Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(&#147;Parent&#148;), to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share,
of the Company at a price of $1.90 per share, net to the holder in cash (subject to adjustment and
applicable withholding tax, without interest, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in the Purchaser&#146;s offer to purchase dated October&nbsp;20, 2008, as amended, and the related letter of
transmittal), all as described in a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule&nbsp;TO filed by the Purchaser
with the SEC on October&nbsp;20, 2008, as amended. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have
the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule&nbsp;14D-9.
</DIV>
<!-- link2 "Item&nbsp;8. Additional Information" -->
<DIV align="left"><A NAME="000"></A></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Item&nbsp;8. Additional Information.</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>Item&nbsp;8 is supplemented by adding the following information at the end thereof:</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of Tuesday, November&nbsp;18,
2008. Parent has advised the Company that, as of such time, an aggregate of approximately 10,934,097
Shares were validly tendered into, and not withdrawn from, the Offer, including 202,510 Shares
subject to guaranteed delivery, representing approximately 74.15% of the outstanding Shares. The
Purchaser has informed the Company that the Purchaser has accepted all Shares that were validly
tendered and not withdrawn for payment in accordance with the terms of the Offer. The Purchaser is
required to promptly pay the Offer Price of $1.90 net per Share in cash, without interest, to all
stockholders whose Shares were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the expiration
of the Offer and, in the case of Shares tendered by guaranteed delivery procedures, to pay promptly
after timely delivery of such Shares and required documentation.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
order to acquire one Share more than 90% of the outstanding Shares and complete the Merger
without a vote by the Company&#146;s stockholders pursuant to Section&nbsp;253 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law (the &#147;DGCL&#148;), the Purchaser exercised its Top-Up Option pursuant to
the terms of
the Merger Agreement. As a result, the Purchaser acquired newly issued shares at a purchase
price equal to the Offer Price and now owns more than 90% of the outstanding Shares. Pursuant to
the Merger Agreement, Parent is therefore entitled to, and has caused, the Purchaser to merge
with and into the Company effective November&nbsp;19, 2008 (without a
meeting of the stockholders of the Company in accordance with the DGCL&#146;s
&#147;short-form&#148; merger
statute), with the Company continuing as the Surviving Corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of
Parent. In the Merger, each outstanding Share (other than Shares held by Parent, the Purchaser,
the Company or stockholders who properly exercise appraisal rights under Section&nbsp;262 of the DGCL)
was converted into the right to receive $1.90, in cash, without interest. Shares
held by stockholders who perfect their appraisal rights will represent only the right to receive
the amount awarded in the appraisal or, if such demand for appraisal is withdrawn or forfeited,
$1.90 per Share, in cash, without interest.
