Callaway CEO Apologizes for Good Good Ad

The company had previously said it was "disappointed by the content.”

Callaway CEO Chip Brewer apologized for a controversial ad featuring Good Good Golf, which was since deleted. The promotional video showed Garrett Clark, Good Good co-founder, running and shoving Alexis Miestowski to the ground while trying to grab a club from his bag. Callaway insisted they approved the ad before posting, but they issued a statement expressing regret and conducting investigations.

Good Good removed the video and later apologized, citing actions not aligned with their brand values. The controversy grew as many viewed the ad as endorsing violence against women, sparking calls for PGA Tour to drop Good Good as title sponsor. Good Good's CEO acknowledged the mistake and pledged to donate ad profits to a women's cause.

The partnership between Callaway and Good Good, which began in 2023, includes co-branded clubs, balls, gloves, and shoes.
