As we get close to the start of Michael Whan’s tenure at the helm of the LPGA, we have to hope that he is truly the ‘chosen one’. So far we have been privy to his business background and achievements. But who is he, really?
He has offered up a video in a ‘fireside chat’ atmosphere sharing a more personal look into who he is as a person and what he holds dear as he addresses the membership of the LPGA. His manner is soft-spoken and charming. Makes you want to pick up the phone and call him. (I would but I don’t have his personal phone number.) If as a listener to this video you feel all warm and fuzzy, then that is a success on its own. His predecessor was anything but approachable.
For all the women that earn their livelihoods on tour, for all the fans that support this beleaguered business, for all the sponsors that believe in the LPGA and for those that should, please take the time to listen to Michael Whan on this video and rekindle your much-needed support.
Of course, none of us are naive enough to think that a few minutes on a video will cure all ills. Whan’s success will be determined by his actions and his ability to listen, learn and then act to the absolute best of his ability. This author wishes him success beyond measure. Here is to 2010 and beyond! May the ‘force’ be with him.
