now-deleted commercial<\/a> shows Garrett Clark running over and pushing Alexi Mietowski to the ground as she reaches for a Callaway driver. “Do not touch my new driver,” he says.<\/p>\nThe backlash online came on social media, where critics called it out for joking about violence against women. And, eventually, both companies released statements after the ad was deleted.<\/p>\n
“We posted a video to our channels that ultimately depicted actions that are not aligned with our values as a brand,” wrote Good Good Golf on Saturday. “We have since taken that content down, and sincerely apologize. Good Good has always stood for making the game of golf more inclusive to all, and we will continue to ensure that is out mission going forward.”<\/p>\n
Callaway also released a statement over the ad<\/p>\n
Here’s a message in part from CEO Chip Brewer:<\/p>\n
Last week, Good Good Golf and Callaway posted a video to promote a co-branded driver. While the video was produced by Good Good, it was approved by Callaway prior to posting. That approval should never have happened. Mistakes were made, and we are taking the matter very seriously.<\/p>\n
As we deal with the consequences of our mistake and complete our investigations, I want to make it clear that we sincerely apologize for the video. The content was inappropriate and does not reflect our values. To be clear: we are unequivocally against discrimination, domestic violence or threatening behavior of any kind.<\/p>\n
