Golf equipment company Callaway faces public criticism over a driver advertisement showing violent behavior against women. The video featured a female victim being thrown to the ground. Good Good Golf co-creator Garrett Clark offered a personal statement following growing outrage over the problematic video.
The backlash caused swift consequences across the golf industry. Retail stores pulled merchandise from their shelves. A scheduled Big Break reboot got postponed by one week. In addition, the PGA Tour decided to drop sponsors linked with the ad, leaving a tournament in danger of being canceled.
