In 1990, ski equipment manufacturer Skis Rossignol purchased the company, and the name was changed to Cleveland Golf. It grew with the sales of clubs such as VAS woods and irons. Later in the decade, Tour Action irons and QuadPro woods were introduced with "more classic designs."

Quiksilver, Inc. purchased the assets of Rossignol in 2005[2] and operated Cleveland Golf until December 2007. At that point, Dunlop Sport purchased Cleveland Golf. Dunlop Sports Co. Ltd. owns and operates several brands in North America. In addition to its North American headquarters in Huntington Beach, California, Cleveland Golf has three international affiliates located in Japan, Europe, and Canada, as well as 26 worldwide distributors.

The company was the first to market wedges with multiple bounce options on the sole and individually mill grooves into wedge faces.[3]
