Summary
Dick’s Sporting Goods, Golf Galaxy and PGA Tour Superstore have pulled Good Good Golf merchandise after backlash over an ad showing founder Garrett Clark shoving a woman while promoting a Callaway driver.
Callaway first said it was disappointed, then acknowledged around 1 a.m. Eastern that it had approved the ad’s release; Good Good removed the video and apologized, saying it was not aligned with its values.
Golf Channel’s planned “Big Break X Good Good” debut was delayed after title sponsor Golf Galaxy reportedly asked to have its name removed from the broadcast.
PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp called the company’s initial response defensive and late, and said the future of the Good Good Championship in Austin is a fluid situation the tour is still monitoring.
