Goodwill at March 31, 2021 increased to $2,032,057,000 from $56,658,000 at December 31, 2020. This $1,975,399,000 increase was primarily due to the addition of $1,975,581,000 in goodwill in connection with the Topgolf merger in March 2021, of which the Company attributed $1,412,361,000 to the Topgolf business, and $504,568,000 and $58,652,000 to the golf equipment and apparel businesses, respectively (see Note 6). This increase was partially offset by changes in foreign currency rates period over period.
