Quote

After completing his 11th year as LPGA Commissioner, Mike Whan has notified the LPGA Board of Directors that he has made the difficult decision to transition out of the LPGA in 2021. While no firm date has been set for his departure, this announcement begins the start of a thorough and thoughtful Commissioner succession process.

This is not great news for the LPGA.

Will Whan take the USGA gig?

I agree that this news isn't great. He came in at a pretty unstable time and not only stabilized but moved things in a positive direction.
