TaylorMade's Center Of Excellence As Adidas AG Explore Golf Unit's Sale [Getty Images]

The head of an TaylorMade Driver M1 golf club rests beside a teed up TaylorMade Tour Preferred X golf ball on the golf course at the TaylorMade center of excellence, operated by Adidas AG, in Herzogenaurach, Germany, on Thursday, Oct. 8, 2015. Adidas said it hired a bank to analyze options for its flagging golf business as the TaylorMade unit's declining sales weighed on second-quarter profit, which missed analysts' estimates, raising the likelihood of a sale.
