It has been reported that American equipment company Ben Hogan Golf has filed for bankruptcy just weeks after it made the majority of its workforce redundant.
The company, based in nine-time major champion Hogan’s hometown of Fort Worth, Texas, filed with the US Bankruptcy Court listing assets and liabilities of between $1m and $10m, according to the Dallas News.
Less than ten employees are remaining at the Ben Hogan Golf HQ after 30 workers were laid off on January 3, with a statement calling the move ‘re-tooling and right-sizing in an effort to become more nimble and profitable’ and indicating that some of the workers would be re-hired in the future, something which now looks extremely unlikely.
