LPGA Commish "Lucky" To Not Have Trump Bedminster Decision
/Mike Whan, the LPGA Tour Commissioner, is punting on the issue of Trump Bedminster, the 2017 U.S. Women's Open and the presidential candidate's recently revealed comments.
From an unbylined story in The Age based on a KEB Hana Bank Championship press conference.
"In a strange way I'm lucky that the LPGA has no direct dealings with Donald Trump or Donald Trump properties," he said.
"Like any group we have people who are political in favour of different sides. I'm not here to be a politician, I know that what the players want is that I don't get so political as to limit opportunities for women."All I've said to the USGA is this, 'You have long since proven you support women's golf so if you tell us this is the right place to play then we're right there with you.'"
Nice, end-over-end punt.
