Good Good Golf CEO Matt Kendrick and president Joe Flannery have left the brand in the wake of their advertisement with Callaway that generated massive backlash in recent weeks.
Kendrick and Flannery left the company this week, according to multiple reports. An internal memo, via The Athletic, stated that early investor and co-founder Nahid Giga is planning to step in as the company's interim CEO. Both Kendrick and Flannery, according to the memo, left the company of their own accord.
Their departures are just the latest after the Good Good Golf-Callaway advertisement that was released last month. The company released an ad that showed one of its co-founders, Garrett Clark, shoving a female employee to the ground as she attempted to touch the driver in his golf bag.
The ad was removed the next day, and both Good Good and Callaway have since apologized. Callaway eventually ended its partnership with Good Good, and announced that it would donate $1 million to charities aimed at preventing domestic violence. Callaway director of content and production Alex Upegui is leaving the company.
The PGA Tour has since split with Good Good, too, and the Good Good Championship this fall will have another ******* le sponsor.
