Golf equipment company Callaway faces public criticism over a driver advertisement showing violent behavior against women. The video showed a woman being pushed to the ground. Good Good Golf co-creator Garrett Clark issued a personal apology following public backlash over the offending commercial.
The backlash resulted in immediate fallout across the golfing world. Retail stores pulled merchandise from their shelves. A planned Big Break reboot was delayed by one week. In addition, the PGA Tour planned to ditch sponsors linked with the ad, leaving a tournament at risk of cancellation.
