Good Good sacks three senior executives following controversial golf advertisement
Summary

American golf content creator Good Good dismissed three senior executives this week following public backlash regarding a video advertisement. The company parted ways with chief executive Matt Kendrick, president Joe Flannery, and vice-president of brand and marketing Jeffrey Lefkovits. The video, produced for manufacturer Callaway, depicted co-founder Garrett Clark pushing professional golfer Alexis Miestowski to the ground. Following widespread criticism, Callaway ended its partnership with Good Good and committed $1m to organizations preventing violence against women. Good Good has subsequently withdrawn its sponsorship from a PGA Tour event scheduled for November in Austin, Texas. Nahid Giga, an investor and board member, now serves as the company's interim CEO.
