The Jeffrey Epstein Scandal

To clarify, he was fired from CEC or TG? From your stories, I'd be surprised that TG wanted him gone, as it might actually hurt their brand by firing him.

Fired from CEC and then hired by TG as their CEO. TG's last CEO, Artie Starrs, oversaw the sale of TG to a private equity firm and then dipped out to run Harley Davidson into the ground.

I don’t know anything about Top Golf, but to be fair, Harley Davidson was being run into the ground well before Starrs arrived. Zeitz pointed their nose down hard. Starrs may just be there to finish things off.

He oversaw some really interesting decisions. Two that come to mind 1) TG ditched Coke in favor of Pepsi. 2) When presented with a mountain of evidence as to why repeat business was so bad, he refused to make any changes, specifically in their pricing. If you look at TG's stock and the whole Calloway debacle, that was all Artie and his leadership.

There's nothing good about that company, be it the business side or the people side. If you want a job where you are assaulted and harassed on a regular basis (sexual or otherwise), if racism's your thing, if you want to work around people who think 16 YO's are fair game...TopGolf's your place.

So hiring someone who appears in the Epstein release, no matter how (allegedly) benign, is pretty on brand for the company.
