Prominent golf manufacturer Callaway is under intense fire 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 issued a personal apology following public backlash over the offending commercial.
The backlash caused immediate fallout across the golfing world. Retail stores pulled merchandise from their shelves. A planned Big Break reboot got postponed by one week. In addition, the PGA Tour planned to ditch sponsors connected to the ad, placing an event in danger of being canceled.
