Callaway Golf Ends Good Good Partnership Amid Driver Commercial Controversy

Callaway Golf has ended its association with Good Good and committed $1m to organizations working to prevent violence against women.

The news comes after a backlash to a controversial commercial for a Callaway driver that shows Garrett Clark running over to his golf bag, where fellow Good Good member Alexis Miestowski is seen reaching towards the bag.

Clark then barges Miestowski to the ground and says: “Do not touch my new driver.”

A statement released by Callaway begins: "Over the last several days, we have listened and reflected deeply on the hurt and disappointment caused by the video we reposted.

"We heard from individuals who shared personal experiences related to violence against women, and their stories were powerful reminders that this issue touches the lives of far too many people.

"Unequivocally, violence against women is unacceptable and should never be trivialized, normalized, or used as entertainment."

The statement then outlines the actions Callaway Golf is taking, and confirms the relationship with Good Good, which began in 2023, has been severed,

It states: “Callaway has ended its relationship with Good Good, effective immediately,” before adding it has “taken appropriate internal corrective actions and significantly strengthened our approval procedures to help ensure this does not happen again.”

Meanwhile, Callaway Golf is also providing $1m "to support organizations working to prevent violence against women, provide resources to survivors, and advance education and awareness efforts.”

The statement continues: “These actions do not undo the harm caused or excuse our role in it. We sincerely apologize to everyone who was hurt, disappointed, or offended by this incident.”

It concludes: “One of Callaway Golf's core values is to be a positive influence, both in the game of golf and in our communities.

"We are further strengthening our commitment to these initiatives, and this will be an ongoing focus in our company. We are committed to learning from this incident and helping ensure that golf is a place where everyone feels respected, valued, and welcome.”
