THE COMMISH: The LPGA announced late Tuesday that Michael Whan would be its next commissioner. Whan, a former executive vice president of TaylorMade Adidas Golf North America, will take over for acting commissioner Marty Evans in January.
We haven't seen someone come out of nowhere like this since Rosie Ruiz in the 1980 Boston Marathon. Considering we knew as much about Mr. Whan as we did Egyptian hieroglyphics prior to his press conference, we'll have to assume the LPGA hired the best candidate. Considering what the tour has been through this past year, we definitely give them the benefit of the doubt that they've found the right person to right the ship.
