Mike Whan: Resuming LPGA competition is a responsibility, not a race
This first-person essay from LPGA commissioner Mike Whan originally appeared on LPGA.com
The most common question sports commissioners hear these days is, “When will sports be back?”
I can assure you, it’s the most important question every commissioner is working hard to answer. As part of the President’s Bipartisan Council to revive the economy, we are collaborating across sports to share proposed protocols and best practices. And as heads of our leagues, we’re addressing the many challenges and needs of our individual organizations in order to safely return to play. Golf, for example, differs from arena-based sports; contact sports differ from non-contact sports.
