395: Golf’s Worst Ad Week? Good Good Fallout & LIV’s Future

On Episode 395 of The Chasing Daylight Podcast, we dive into the massive reaction surrounding the Good Good x Callaway driver ad, why the campaign missed the mark, and whether the backlash has gone way beyond the original mistake. We also get into the sponsor fallout, the reaction across golf social media, and what the entire situation says about golf’s growing internet culture.
