Golf equipment company Callaway faces public criticism over a driver advertisement depicting violence against women. The video featured a female victim being thrown to the ground. Good Good Golf co-founder Garrett Clark offered a personal statement following widespread pushback over the problematic video.
The backlash resulted in immediate fallout across the golfing world. Retail stores removed featured products from store displays. A scheduled Big Break reboot got postponed by one week. In addition, the PGA Tour planned to ditch sponsors associated with the ad, leaving a tournament in danger of being canceled.
