Suzy Whaley Headed For PGA Of America Officership?
/Alex Miceli reports in Golfweek and on Golfweek.com that Suzy Whaley, the second woman to qualify for a PGA Tour event after Babe Didrickson Zaharias, is moving up the PGA of America latter and could be breaking up that steady sea of navy blue and grey hair that traditionally stands in for PGA Championship trophy ceremonies.
From Miceli's report (thanks reader PhilGC), which says Whaley is the clubhouse leader for the secretary job:
If Whaley were to be nominated in mid-November at the PGA’s annual meeting in Indianapolis, she would be on a path to join a small sorority to have led major golf organizations. Judy Bell served as U.S. Golf Association president in 1996-97; Carolyn Bivens oversaw the LPGA as commissioner in 2005-09; and Cindy Davis will retire this month after six years as Nike Golf’s president.
Dottie Pepper currently sits on the PGA of America board.
