This week we’re delighted to be joined by LPGA Tour commissioner Mike Whan. One of the busiest people in world golf, Mike graciously gave us some time a couple of weeks back.

We chatted about his early career, how he got into the golf Industry with Wilson and then Adidas and Taylormade. He includes a cracking story about he became the LPGA Tour commissioner which is a must listen!

Mike gives us an in-depth account of the success story of LPGA Tour in his tenure. The early days back in 2010 when the Tour was struggling with just over 20 tournaments with a cumulative prize fund of $30m and how now there is a full year long schedule where they play for a total of $90m.

The historic partnership with the Ladies European Tour which was agreed in November of last year, how the Tour presently coping with the Corona Virus and the plans for next year and beyond.
