Commissioner Mike Wan said, “Looking back on 11 years as the longest commissioner in LPGA history, I feel a tremendous sense of pride and satisfaction for what we have accomplished together, such as giving many women the opportunity to realize their dreams through the sport of golf.” “I suffered from various problems caused by the Corona Pandemic in 2020. The LPGA tour showed the ability to lead the tournament even in difficult environments. I do not doubt that it will grow higher, so I am now trying to pass the baton to the next leader and become the LPGA’s most passionate supporter. “Do it”.
LPGA Chairman of the Board of Directors Gullias announced that the Commissioner Selection and Acquisition Committee will be formed to consider current LPGA internal executives and external personnel as the next commissioner candidate.
“It’s clear that the LPGA today is a very different association than when Mike Wan took office in 2010. The board will focus all of its power on finding a leader who can lead the LPGA and all of its stakeholders to the next chapter in historic history.” He explained.
