With the controversy growing over the status of the LPGA Tour, several top ranked women pros signed and sent a letter to the Tour requesting that Commissioner Bivens be replaced. Having approximately two years left on her original four year contract, Biven's is currently owed about $1M for the two years remaining on her contract.
This information, reported in our blog yesterday, continues on the day that is the biggest event for the season in women's golf, the U.S. Women's Open being played Saucon Valley Country Club in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
Apparently an interim Commissioner will be functioning fairly quickly and a Special Investigative Committee will be formed to find "candidates" who can grow the Tour.
The Tour has lost seven tournaments since 2007. With the current financial woes, all segments of the golf industry have been affected from the sale of equipment, fewer rounds being played to the decline of tickets and sales at scheduled golf events.
The Tour needs a new direction and new leadership. How about Nancy Lopez?
