Good Good Golf CEO Matt Kendrick and president Joe Flannery have left the company following backlash over a Callaway driver advertisement depicting a man shoving a woman, according to multiple reports. Co-founder Nahid Giga will serve as interim CEO, per an internal memo reported by Business Insider. The video, posted Aug. 20, was deleted that day but sparked widespread criticism despite apologies from Good Good and Callaway. The company pulled its title sponsorship of a PGA Tour event in Austin, Texas, while Callaway ended its relationship and retailers removed merchandise. Golf Channel canceled its "Big Break" season with Good Good.
