"I have no doubt that the LPGA has to streamline, but why do it now, before the new commissioner comes on?"

Reader Tombo raises a fair point about the LPGA with this comment posted today:

I received an e-mail from LPGA VP of Communications Connie Wilson last night. Her position has been eliminated, effective immediately, after 15 years.

I have no doubt that the LPGA has to streamline, but why do it now, before the new commissioner comes on? So he/she won't have to be the heavy?

It does seem odd not to let the new boss make some of these calls, particularly with a position like VP of Communications, unless it speaks to the severity of the LPGA's financial state.
