Summary
Matt Kendrick and Joe Flannery have stepped down from Good Good, with co-founder Nahid Giga taking over as interim CEO, according to an internal memo reported by Business Insider.
The leadership shake-up follows a promotional ad for a Good Good-Callaway driver in which co-founder Garrett Clark shoved a female brand member to the ground, triggering a widening backlash.
Callaway cut ties with Good Good after the ad, even as it later said it had approved the content and that its review process was not comprehensive enough.
The fallout spread beyond the partnership: the PGA Tour split with Good Good ahead of a November event, and multiple retailers pulled the brand's apparel from shelves.
Kendrick had publicly attacked Callaway on X and floated a lawsuit before deleting the posts, while Good Good has continued posting new videos to its YouTube channel, which has more than 2 million subscribers.
