Ping announced on social media channels Monday that for the safety of the 800 employees who work at the company’s Phoenix headquarters, it has decided to close its facility for “the next couple of weeks.”
As the coronavirus pandemic forces states and municipalities to ban gatherings and implore people to stay in their homes, several equipment companies are operating with employees working from home.
Callaway, Cobra and TaylorMade, all based in Carlsbad, California, sent workers home several days ago, and Bridgestone and Mizuno workers based in Georgia are working from home, too.
Titleist and FootJoy staffers based in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, have been working remotely for more than a week. Products that were previously ordered may be slow in arriving, but judging by the comments left on Ping’s Facebook page, golfers are supporting the brands and want everyone to be safe.
