LIV Golf is undergoing significant restructuring and layoffs as it transitions to operating without Saudi Arabian funding. The golf league has informed employees that their positions will be terminated next week, signaling a major shift in its operational model.
In parallel, the popular YouTube golf group Good Good Golf is facing substantial fallout from a controversial advertisement. Callaway, a major golf equipment manufacturer, has terminated its partnership with Good Good Golf. The decision comes after an ad depicting violence against a woman sparked widespread criticism. Callaway also announced a $1 million donation to organizations focused on preventing violence against women and supporting survivors. The PGA Tour has also confirmed that Good Good Golf will no longer be the title sponsor of a November event, and other sponsors are reportedly seeking to distance themselves from the group.
