Good Good Golf CEO Matt Kendrick resigns after furor over Callaway ad

Good Good Golf CEO Matt Kendrick and President Joe Flannery left the company on Wednesday, according to an internal company email shared with CBS News. Their departures follow a backlash over a co-branded Callaway Golf ad that was panned as sexist and trivializing violence against women.

Nahid Giga, a co-founder of Good Good Golf and one of its first investors, will step in as interim CEO effective immediately, according to the Sept. 2 email from Good Good Golf Chief Financial Officer Alex Puchala.

The management shakeup comes amid widespread public criticism over the ad, which was released online and quickly pulled after viewers objected to its depiction of a male golfer shoving a female golfer to the ground when she tries to use his driver.

In the aftermath of the controversy, Callaway ended its three-year partnership with the digital media company, and Good Good also said it would step back from sponsoring one of the PGA Tour’s tournaments this fall.

Good Good has said the ad was supposed to be a parody of the horror movie “Obsession,” but critics failed to see the humor and condemned the video for making light of violence against women.

Both Good Good and Callaway apologized for the ad. But Kendrick on Aug. 28 posted on social media that Callaway Golf had asked “us to take the fall and then drops us in a coordinated media blitz.”

“This is a difficult day for the entire Good Good family,” Puchala wrote in the email, which was sent to company employees. “Matt helped build something extraordinary that exceeded all expectations and continues to bring countless new fans to the sport. What began as a small group of friends playing golf is now a growing global community.”

Puchala added that Garrett Clark — a co-founder of Good Good who portrayed the male golfer in the ad — will remain at the firm.

“Garrett and the creator team will keep doing what they do best, making great content and engaging our fans who are eager to see and hear from us,” Puchala wrote.

‘Why would he do this to us?’: Trump’s foreign beef push is hurting his base, Republicans warn

Republicans are warning President Donald Trump that his decision to flood supermarkets with foreign ground beef is hurting a key group in his base as the midterm elections near their climax.

Voters in beef-industry-heavy states, like South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas, supported Trump in his bid for a second term. Now, lawmakers from those states say his decision to lift tariffs on hundreds of thousands of tons of foreign beef is putting the very people who elected him in a bind.

Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., who is running for re-election, said his voters in South Dakota “love the president,” and view him like a member of the family, but the beef import order feels like the administration “pulled the rug right out from underneath” them.

“They’re hurt. I mean, they feel like they’ve been let down,” Rounds said.

“Like, how could, you know, our friend, this guy that’s as close to us as they’ve ever been to a president, how could he do this to them? I mean, that’s the way they feel,” he continued. “And that’s the expression they’re giving me is, ‘Why would he do this to us? Doesn’t he understand ag?’”

Republicans are searching for an economic message to bring to voters as grocery bills, gas prices and other day-to-day necessities grow more expensive. Some argue that kneecapping ranchers and farmers, some of Trump’s most loyal supporters, in the name of affordability runs counter to that.

“I think people want an explanation,” a House Republican granted anonymity to speak freely told Fox News Digital. “We want to be able to go to the ranchers, who are big Trump supporters, right, to be able to go to them and say, this administration is fighting for you.”

THE UNEXPECTED FORCE KEEPING BEEF PRICES HIGH AND WHY THE PRESSURE COULD LAST FOR YEARS

Trump signed the order last week with the intent of flooding the market with 300,000 metric tons of imported ground beef, lowering costs for consumers thanks to a commitment that the product would be sold at 25% below current market prices over a 90-day span.

He also contended that it would allow ranchers to regrow the nation’s herds, which, thanks to a combination of drought and the invasive New World screwworm, has dwindled to historic lows not seen since the 1950s, according to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

“I’m sympathetic to what he’s trying to get done,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., told Keloland. “He’s trying to lower beef prices, which I think we’re all supportive of. I just don’t think this is the way to do it. And so, we have a lot of beef producers here in South Dakota; they produce the highest-quality beef in the world, and we’re trying to build our herds back up.”

As the blowback mounts, the administration has acknowledged that ranchers are bearing the brunt of the blow. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer huddled privately with House Republicans on Wednesday afternoon, when several lawmakers pressed him on the subject of Trump’s beef imports.

Sources inside the room told Fox News Digital that Greer acknowledged ranchers were frustrated but maintained the import strategy was temporary. He argued it was the administration’s way of easing high prices on the market in the short term, the sources said.

But multiple House GOP lawmakers still said they were concerned as they exited the meeting.

“This is not just a one-year issue on the affordability of beef. We’ve got to make sure that we’ve got a Made-in-America-first beef program. That means standing with our cattlemen on that,” Rep. Zach Nunn, R-Iowa, told Fox News Digital. “We’ve said the same thing to Greer in there.”

Nunn, who is a top target for Democrats in November, said he planned to raise the issue again during dinner with Trump at the White House on Wednesday evening.

Rep. Troy Downing, R-Mont., pointed out that it was a relatively small amount of beef for just a 90-day period but said he was worried about the timing as it overlaps with the time of year farmers bring their cattle to market.

“If a rancher is expecting to get a price at market that suddenly drops out from underneath them, they’re faced with two things — they don’t have a stable market, so do I invest in heifers for next year? Or do I have to sell more calves to make up for that deficit for my operating costs? Which, neither one is helping rebuild the herd,” Downing told Fox News Digital.

House Main Street Caucus Chairman Mike Flood, R-Neb., said he was opposed to a “tariff regime that undercuts American ranchers,” but said Trump’s policies were helping in the “big picture.”

Compounding people’s anxiety in the meeting was Trump’s trade war with Canada, which that House Republican said made northern-border-state GOP lawmakers “nervous.”

Republican Study Committee Chairman August Pfluger, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital there would likely be “quite a few” follow-up meetings.

“It was absolutely outstanding, we had a tremendous amount of participation and people that were really excited to ask good questions,” he said of the meeting in general.

And Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said at an event in Iowa on Tuesday that the administration understood that “ranchers felt like that was a gut punch.”

The White House argued that Trump “has done more for American agriculture than anyone” with trade deals, foreign market access expansion, lowering input costs, bolstering the farm safety net, doubling the death tax exemption, ending taxes on rural property loan interest, and creating rural opportunity zones.”

“At the same time, he is delivering on his promise to consumers by reducing beef prices while allowing our American beef herd to grow,” White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly told Fox News Digital. “The President will continue taking actions to support our great farmers while driving economic prosperity for all Americans.”

Republican critics of the move are urging the administration to look at other methods to expand the nation’s cattle herds.

Several Republicans, led by Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., wrote to Rollins and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to lift Biden-era rules and ease federal guardrails to allow for more access to grazing land for cattle.

“The Federal government must remain laser-focused on partnering with the industry and state efforts for ranchers, expand grazing on public and private lands, and improve protein processing capacity,” they wrote in a letter to the top Trump officials on Tuesday.

村庄淹没在泥浆中 尼泊尔幸存者前路未卜

2026年9月3日 23:45 / 联合早报

• 尼泊尔泥石流灾害已持续八天，当局估计约九百人受困于六座水电站内，救援人员正努力营救。 – 上特里苏里3A水电站隧道积水严重，工人正排水并准备爆破巨石，以便挖掘机深入搜寻幸存者。 – 夏布鲁贝西等村庄被泥浆淹没，吉隆口岸建筑桥梁尽毁，幸存者失去家园土地，暂栖寺院避难。 – 前重建局长波卡雷尔称，此次灾难致土地消失，重建难度远超2015年地震，面临巨大挑战。

在尼泊尔特里苏里河谷（Trishuli River valley）的受灾区域，救援人员正努力营救受困在水电站的数百名工人。

路透社报道，尼泊尔—中国西藏泥石流灾难已发生八天了，地面要么像混凝土一样坚硬，要么变成了湿滑的泥泞，大片区域都看不到任何人类居住的痕迹。

路透社摄影师奇特拉卡尔（Navesh Chitrakar）从直升机上看到挖掘机正从上特里苏里（Upper Trishuli）3A水电站的一个隧道口移走巨石。据尼泊尔当局估计，约有900人受困在六座水电站内。

在上特里苏里3A水电站，工人正在排出隧道内的积水，并准备通过钻孔爆破巨石，以便挖掘机能够深入挖掘。

在曾经是喜马拉雅山徒步旅行门户的村庄夏布鲁贝西（Syabrubesi），林立的房屋消失，如今却只见灰色的泥浆中的几栋房屋。

奇特拉卡尔说，在吉隆边境口岸，没有建筑物，没有口岸，也没有桥梁。

栖身在寺院的幸存者前路未卜

彭博社报道，泥石流吞没了夏布鲁贝西29岁的村民塔芒（Shangmo Tamang）的家乡，她得以幸存纯属偶然。她当时正在加德满都接受心脏疾病治疗。如今，她与约20多名亲属一同在加德满都郊外的一座寺院避难。

幸存者们正面临一个艰巨的问题：如何重建生活。许多居住在受灾河谷村庄的人在这场灾难中失去一切，包括房屋、亲人，甚至赖以生存的土地。如今，那些土地已被厚厚的泥浆和废墟覆盖，无法再居住。

栖身在鲁布·彭措·乔林（Gosok Phuntsok Choeling）寺院的尚莫和家人除了食物和衣物之外几乎一无所有。她说：“如今我们只有家人。”

曾负责监督2015年尼泊尔大地震灾后重建工作的前国家重建局局长波卡雷尔（Govind Raj Pokharel）说，这场灾难造成的破坏规模使重建工作面临巨大挑战。当年那场地震造成近9000人遇难。

地震过后，尼泊尔在获得约40亿美元（50亿7900万新元）国际援助承诺的支持下展开重建，并向房屋被毁家庭发放现金补助。截至2021年，已建成70万多套住房，以及数千所学校和其他建筑。

波卡雷尔说，这一次开展类似重建工作将困难得多。“地震导致房屋倒塌后，也许你还能在原地建造更好的房屋，或建造更坚固、更具韧性的房屋，”他说，“但在这里，你甚至连土地都没有了。”

尚莫89岁的祖父明迈（Mingmai）说，当山体滑坡逼近时，他赶紧蹒跚着爬上山坡逃生。他说：“我想自己只是差了几米就没命了。”

他的65岁弟弟因膝盖不好无法奔跑，未能逃生。他的儿子当时在距离河边较近的一家银行工作，也罹难了。“什么都没剩下了。我的儿子没了。我只剩下这副身体，以及现在身上穿着的衣服。”

硬地滚球世锦赛双人赛 我国残障运动员斩获历史首金

2026-09-03 23:25 / 新明日报

我国硬地滚球双人组合颜恺宏（左二）与努鲁（右一）在首尔世锦赛BC3级决赛中力克强敌，为我国勇夺历史上首枚硬地滚球世锦赛金牌。 （新加坡残疾运动体育理事会提供）

新加坡健儿在韩国首尔举行的2026年世界硬地滚球（Boccia）锦标赛上创造历史，双人组合颜恺宏／努鲁拉西卡（Nurulasyiqah）星期四（9月3日）在BC3级双人赛决赛中，以3比1击败世界排名第四的强敌希腊，为我国赢得历来首枚硬地滚球世锦赛金牌。

连同陈仪婷日前在BC1级女子个人赛中收获的一枚铜牌，我国代表团在本届世锦赛共斩获一金一铜，创下历来最佳战绩。世锦赛是硬地滚球仅次于残奥会的最高水平国际赛事。

颜恺宏与努鲁拉西卡目前世界排名第七。在轨道助理们的协助下，两人在小组赛战胜埃及与希腊。虽不敌阿根廷，但仍成功跻身淘汰赛。

进入八强后，我国组合先是以5比4险胜传统劲旅泰国，随后在半决赛发挥出色，以5比0完胜巴西挺进决赛。

到了金牌战，颜恺宏与努鲁拉西卡再次碰上小组赛交手过的希腊组合。前两局双方战成1比1平，随后我国选手顶住压力，关键的最后两局各得一分，最终以3比1锁定胜局，登上世界之巅。

颜恺宏赛后受访时说：“这感觉就像做梦一样。我们从未想过能拿下双人赛世界冠军，原本觉得遥不可及的目标，今天竟然真的实现了。”

努鲁拉西卡则透露：“我们赛前特地研究了希腊队的出球套路，并制定了针对性战术，这起到了关键作用。能两次战胜实力强大的希腊队，非常不可思议。”

努鲁拉西卡16年后再度站上世锦赛领奖台

这也是努鲁拉西卡时隔16年后再度站上世锦赛领奖台。她曾在2010年葡萄牙里斯本世锦赛斩获BC3级女子个人赛铜牌，那是新加坡在这项赛事的首枚奖牌。

此前进行的BC1级女子个人赛中，我国好手陈仪婷也再创佳绩。她在小组赛及复赛接连战胜以色列、波兰、法国与西班牙选手；半决赛虽不敌最终夺冠的印度尼西亚选手汉达亚妮（Handayani），但她随后在铜牌战中迅速调整状态，以4比2击败马来西亚选手安吉琳（Angeline），夺得个人首枚世锦赛奖牌。

陈仪婷说：“半决赛失利确实令人难过，但我知道必须迅速专注起来，在铜牌战全力以赴。很开心能拿下奖牌，接下来会继续努力。”

硬地滚球首尔世锦赛于8月27日至9月3日举行。这也是我国硬地滚球队出战2026年爱知—名古屋亚洲残疾人运动会前的重要练兵之役。

大陆持续加强台湾以东海上活动 学者：新海上热点但各方会避免冲突

2026年9月3日 23:43 / 联合早报

• 大陆海警及科研船近期在台东活动增多，台方驳斥其无管辖权并派舰监控，指陆方假执法真扩权。 – 学者包承柯称陆方举措旨在展示常态化管辖能力，从执法与资源层面维权，不认为会导致持续摩擦。 – 揭仲分析北京意在通过执法调查打法律战强化权利主张，提醒日菲处理重叠海域问题须与北京谈判。 – 丁树范判断若陆方持续派海警船，台海巡署或增加部署致对峙，但双方料将保持克制避免冲突。

中国大陆自然资源部称，旗下第二海洋研究所8月间在台湾以东海域开展了海洋地球物理综合调查，并称此次调查采用多学科同步调查手段，利用多波束、多道地震、海底地震、重磁等技术采集了包括海底地形、沉积地层、深部地质构造、地球物理场等海底环境基础数据。 （中新社）

中国大陆在台湾以东海域的活动持续增多，大陆自然资源部星期四（9月3日）通报，旗下第二海洋研究所8月10日至31日进行为期约三周的海洋地球物理综合调查；同日，大陆海警也公布，普陀山舰编队当天在相关海域开展“常态化执法巡查”。

台湾海巡署反驳称，台湾在东部专属经济海域拥有主权权利与管辖权，并指大陆对台湾各海域“绝无管辖权”。台海巡署也指大陆是“假执法、真扩权”，并称已调派吉安舰等舰艇监控普陀山舰及岱山舰。

日本与菲律宾5月底宣布拟启动专属经济区和大陆架海域划界谈判后，大陆在台湾以东的科研、海警及军事活动随之增多。受访大陆学者分析，大陆多项举措旨在展示对台湾以东相关海域进行常态化管辖和维护海洋权益的能力，但不认为相关行动会导致持续性海上摩擦。

中国大陆海警星期四通过微信账号通报，普陀山舰编队星期三位于台湾以东海域开展常态化执法巡查，并称普陀山舰编队8月以来持续加强相关海域管控，有力保障正常航行和作业秩序；坚决维护国家领土主权和海洋权益。

路透社报道，大陆海警周三的行动是6月以来第三次类似巡查。此前，大陆6月在台湾以东开展海上交通执法及扫测行动；大陆海警7月4日也曾在相关海域开展执法巡查。

除海警执法外，大陆今年也在相关海域展开多项调查。大陆自然资源部第二海洋研究所通报，8月10日至31日在台湾以东海域进行海洋地球物理综合调查，使用多波束、多道地震、海底地震以及重力、磁力等技术，采集海底地形、沉积地层、深部地质构造和地球物理场等资料。

大陆官方称，此次调查旨在了解相关海域的基本地质和构造特征，为自然资源“一张图”和国土空间规划提供数据，并为沉积物特征、构造活动、深部地壳结构及海域动态演化研究提供资料。

此前，大陆自然资源部东海局“向阳红22”船在6月16日至18日开展海洋环境调查；农业农村部“蓝海201”则在7月17日至23日开展渔业资源调查。

军事活动方面，中国海军红河舰8月12日与印度尼西亚海军护卫舰在相关海域举行海上通航演练，科目包括海上通信、编队运动及海上补给。路透社报道，这是中国官方首次公开宣布与外国海军在该区域进行联合航行活动。印尼海军称，演习并非旨在“作战”，而仅仅是“过航演习”。

上海海峡两岸研究会研究员包承柯向《联合早报》分析，过去大陆在台湾以东海域多侧重军事演练或航道通行，今年较明显的变化是海警力量介入执法巡查，重点在于展现实际管辖权及维护海洋权益。

他说，海警执法与自然资源部门调查分别从海域管辖和资源掌握两个层面展开，后者通过掌握海底地形、水文及资源等资料，为今后利用相关海域及发展海洋经济作准备。对于台湾以东海域未来会否形成持续性海上摩擦，包承柯认为不太可能，并称日本缺乏相关海域管辖的法理依据。

台湾的国防安全研究院国防资源与战略研究所委任副研究员揭仲则分析，北京系列动作意在持续让外界看到，它在台湾以东海域“行使管辖权的例证跟事实”。

他认为，大陆通过海警及其他公务船持续开展执法、资源调查和海上交通管理，是在打一场“法律战”，强化对相关海域的权利主张，并通过持续建立管辖事实提醒日菲，如果处理重叠海域问题，必须与北京谈判，不能与台北接触。

他说，台湾以东目前已成为新海上热点，但未来中国大陆与日本的执法船发生冲突的可能性不大，“可能形成类似钓鱼台（中国大陆称钓鱼岛，日本称尖阁诸岛）模式，你巡你的，我巡我的，你喊你的，我喊我的，双方会避免冲突”。

台湾政治大学东亚研究所名誉教授丁树范判断，如果大陆持续派遣海警船，台湾海巡署也可能相应增加东部部署，双方执法船可能出现对峙，情况类似台湾海峡或金门一带，但仍会保持克制。

美国8月服务业增速创半年来最快 指标升至四年高点

得益于强劲需求和商业活动回升， 8月美国服务业以六个月来最快速度扩张。

彭博社报道，美国供应管理协会（ISM）星期四（9月3日）公布的数据显示，8月服务业指数上升1.3点至55.4，为2月以来最高水平，也高于彭博调查中经济学家的预期中值。指数高于50意味着行业处于扩张状态。

新订单增速加快至2023年初以来最高，企业活动指标升至2022年以来最强水平。未完成订单连续第七个月扩张。

美国服务业受益于消费者支出坚韧、就业市场稳定以及企业投资稳健。不过，企业也仍需应对供应链中断、关税以及整个经济中不断上升的成本压力。

ISM衡量服务业材料和服务价格的指标8月升至72.6，为2022年年中以来最高水平。

虽然当前通货膨胀已远低于2022年的水平，但自2月伊朗战争爆发以来，消费者价格和生产者价格指标均有所上升，并维持在较高水平，给许多企业带来压力。

高物价可能也是企业缩减员工规模的原因之一。ISM就业指标在过去六个月中有五个月显示收缩。

供应商交货时间指标仍处于扩张区间，但降至近一年来最低水平，这可能表明供应瓶颈正在逐步缓解。

U.S. layoffs in August fell to their lowest level in 4 years, labor data shows

Layoffs across the U.S. fell last month to their lowest level in four years, new labor data shows, a sign the job market remains resilient even as hiring slows.

Employers announced 52,881 job cuts in August, down 38% from the 85,979 layoffs announced during the same month a year ago, according to a report from outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. Through August, companies cut nearly 530,000 workers this year, down 41% from the same period in 2025 — the lowest eight-month total since 2022.

Despite muted layoff activity, however, many companies remain reluctant to hire.

“What we’d like to see with low layoffs is an increase in hiring activity,” Andy Challenger, chief revenue officer and workplace expert at the firm, said in a statement. “While companies are making plans to hire more workers than last year, according to our numbers, it doesn’t appear those positions are being filled quickly.”

The nation’s unemployment rate dipped to 4.1% in July. But job growth reversed, with employers shedding 23,000 jobs.

The August job cuts were led by the consumer products industry, which laid off more than 10,000 workers, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas. Food industry players and technology companies recorded the second- and third-highest number of layoffs last month.

Over the first eight months of 2026, tech firms announced the most layoffs of any sector, with more than 155,000 cuts, the firm found. Notably, artificial intelligence was not a main driver of those layoffs. Restructuring was the leading reason for cuts, followed by market and economic conditions.

Chocolate eyeball candy sold at Marshalls, TJ Maxx and other retailers recalled over milk allergy risk

September 3, 2026 / 11:55 AM EDT / CBS News

A New Jersey candy company is recalling chocolate eyeballs sold at Marshalls, TJ Maxx, HomeGoods and Sierra Trading Post because the product contained undeclared milk allergens.

The recalled candy, sold in a variety of packaging under the “Crystal Temptations” brand, was distributed in Arizona, California, Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Virginia and Wyoming, according to a recall notice issued by the Food and Drug Administration.

People with a severe sensitivity to milk or a milk allergy could have a “serious or life-threatening allergic reaction” if they consume the candy, the agency said. No illnesses have been reported as of Aug. 31, the date the FDA posted the recall notice.

Crystal Temptations issued the recall after an analyst who follows TJ Maxx discovered the products’ packaging did not disclose that the candy contained milk. An investigation later revealed that the issue resulted from a “temporary breakdown in the company’s production and packaging processes,” according to the recall notice.

The FDA said shoppers who purchased the candy should destroy it. For a refund, consumers must contact Crystal Temptations and provide proof of purchase. The company can be reached at 1-201-246-7990. The stores where the candy was sold will not issue refunds, according to the recall notice.

Norah O’Donnell returning as co-host of “CBS Mornings”

September 3, 2026 / 10:25 AM EDT / CBS News

Norah O’Donnell is coming home: The Emmy Award-winning CBS News journalist is returning to “CBS Mornings” as co-host alongside Gayle King and Nate Burleson, starting Tuesday.

O’Donnell co-hosted the show with King for seven years before moving on in 2019 to anchor the “CBS Evening News.” She was recently named a “60 Minutes” correspondent and also hosts”Healthful,” a weekly women’s health podcast.

In an email to staff, “CBS Mornings” senior producer Jon Tower said King and O’Donnell created “one of the most memorable partnerships in the history of the morning news” in their first run as co-hosts.

“They have a friendship and chemistry that extends beyond the studio,” he said. “They know each other, respect each other, and — maybe most importantly — genuinely enjoy each other. To put it simply, I can’t think of a team I’d rather watch navigate the news than Gayle, Nate and Norah.”

O’Donnell has earned nearly every major recognition in journalism for her work covering some of the biggest stories in the world and conducting impactful, news-making interviews. She has covered eight presidential elections and has interviewed every living president of the United States, as well as the late former President Jimmy Carter. In 2024, O’Donnell spoke exclusively with Pope Francis in Rome for a historic and first-of-its-kind papal interview for an American journalist.

In 2023, O’Donnell and the “CBS Evening News” were awarded an Edward R. Murrow Award for the broadcast’s report on the overturning of Roe v. Wade. She was honored with the prestigious 2022 Alfred I. duPont-Columbia Award and the Scripps Howard Award for Excellence in Broadcast National/International Coverage in 2021 for an exclusive, year-and-a-half-long investigation into sexual assault in the U.S. military.

“All of that experience and energy makes her a perfect match for Gayle and Nate,” Tower said in his email. “Gayle is one of the hardest-working and best interviewers in the business, with an unmatched ability to connect with audiences on all topics. And Nate brings curiosity, warmth, spontaneity and a perspective that can take a conversation in a direction none of us expected.”

Prior to her roles as an anchor, O’Donnell served as CBS News’ chief White House correspondent during the Obama administration.

O’Donnell is also the author of the New York Times bestseller “We the Women: Hidden Heroes Who Shaped America,” a book launched as part of the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
