From the article:
“Today could be one of the most important days in the history of the LPGA. It’s been a long four years of hardship for this once proud organization as Carolyn Bivens has driven it to despair. So with the announcement today that Michael Whan has been named the 8th commissioner of the LPGA Tour, you would of thought that the powers to be would of rolled out the red carpet in getting the news out.
But to the dismay of not only the fans of the LPGA Tour but the media itself the announcement was really no announcement. Here is what usually happens at these affairs. You find a place to do the announcement and everyone likes to do these things in New York City because you get a lot of media folks to attend. Then you either get Golf Channel or ESPN to put your announcement on live, then get the media to participate in a conference call and ask questions for the new commissioner and Marty Evans, who is acting commissioner.”
