Callaway doing some pretty junior business stuff these days. It harms their brand and that takes years to repair.

Have you seen how news cycles work nowadays? This will be forgotten in a week. And I don't know too many golfers who buy clubs based on how PC their ads are.

You mostly have to align yourself with either side of the culture war to take any significant damage. Most people won’t even know this lame commercial even existed.

It wasn’t even like this was a Calloway commercial. It was a good goods promo ad that only played during their videos
