Good Good Golf withdraw from sponsoring PGA Tour event after controversial video
Content creators Good Good Golf pull out of title sponsoring PGA Tour event in November, saying "we recognise that we have work to do as an organisation"; Brand apologised for publishing a video for a Callaway driver last week that has been accused of portraying violence against women
Good Good Golf has withdrawn from sponsoring a PGA Tour event this autumn following its controversial video promoting a new Callaway driver.
The video published last week by the popular content creators was subsequently deleted after widespread criticism that it portrayed violence against women.
The video showed a man shoving a woman who was reaching for his new Callaway driver to the ground, before warning her not to touch the club as she lay on the ground.
Good Good Golf apologised in a social media statement and Callaway Golf admitted 'mistakes were made' over their handling of the incident.
The company had been due to title sponsor a new PGA Tour event in Austin in November but have now pulled out of doing so.
In a statement on Thursday, Good Good Golf said: "After thoughtful discussion with the PGA Tour and careful reflection, we have decided to step away as sponsor of the tour event in Austin this fall.
"We recognise that we have work to do as an organisation, and our focus right now is on our team, our culture and ensuring we learn from this situation.
"We are grateful for our relationship with the PGA Tour and appreciate their partnership over the years. We remain committed to earning back trust, and we hope to work together again in the future."
The PGA Tour issued its own statement and said it agreed with the decision.
"The PGA Tour has been informed of Good Good Golf's decision to step away as sponsor of the event in Austin, Texas, this fall," read the statement.
"We agree with their decision to use this time to focus on their organization and the work ahead.
"The PGA Tour believes in golf's ability to bring people together and create a welcoming environment for all.
"The tournament will continue as scheduled from November 12-15, 2026, and we will provide an update on sponsorship plans at a later date."
