Whan agrees to 'long-term' extension to remain LPGA commissioner
Mike Whan doesn’t intend to leave the LPGA anytime soon.
With his contract set to expire late next year, Whan confirmed with GolfChannel.com Tuesday that he has signed a contract extension.
“It’s a long-term contract,” Whan said. “I don’t even know how long it is. I really don’t.”
LPGA president Vicki Goetze-Ackerman confirmed there’s a new deal in place.
“It’s a long-term contract,” Goetze-Ackerman said. “That’s all you’re going to get anyone to tell you. He has a vision for the future, and he wants to stay. He’s been fantastic, taking us from a dismal place in 2010 to where we are now, with a vision of an even stronger future.”
