Dick’s Sporting Goods and its subsidiary, Golf Galaxy, removed Good Good Golf merchandise from its retail and online stores.

Good Good Golf video sparks backlash
The backstory:
Content creator Good Good Golf, the title sponsor of a new PGA Tour event this fall, posted and then deleted a video for a Callaway driver in which a man shoves a woman to the ground who was reaching for the club. He then warned her, "Do not touch my new driver."
The video was deleted by Good Good Golf and Callaway on Aug. 21 after criticism that it portrayed violence against women, though clips of the ad still circulated on social media after the official accounts removed it.
Good Good Golf statement
What they're saying:
Good Good Golf apologized on Aug. 22 in a statement on X that said, "We posted a video to our channels that ultimately depicted actions that are not aligned with our values as a brand. 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 our mission going forward."
The Associated Press reported that Good Good Golf was launched as a YouTube channel in 2020 and now is among the largest content creators in the sport, highlighted by eight men and four women competing in golf and various challenges. It has made-for-TV shows, apparel and other merchandise.
