She will likely become the first female president of the PGA in 2018.

Quote:

Whaley received 52.63 percent of the 114 votes in a three-way race for secretary near the end of Saturday's meeting in Indianapolis. Russ Libby was second at 33.33 percent and Michael Haywood was third at 14.04 percent...

...She will serve the next two years as PGA secretary, then two years as vice president before starting a two-year term as president and another two-year term as honorary president. Each promotion must be approved through a formal vote, which is usually considered a formality.

For the PGA, it's a chance to turn the page on one of the organization's darker chapters. President Ted Bishop was ousted last month after using social media to call European pro Ian Poulter a "Lil Girl" and writing that Poulter sounded "like a little girl squealing during recess."

It is sad to say but one has to wonder if it would have happened this way in the absence of Bishop's foot in mouth problem.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

She's been talked about for the past election or two.
