The LPGA today announced the much anticipated resignation of Commissioner Carolyn Bivens.
“We respect Carolyn’s decision to resign since she has led this organization professionally and passionately the past four years,” said LPGA Board of Directors President Michelle Ellis. “We appreciate the unwavering commitment that she provided the LPGA, and during her four years, Carolyn accomplished a great deal for the LPGA and its player members.”
The LPGA is a special organization comprised of great players, teachers and fans with a rich history,” Bivens said.
“I love the LPGA and have been proud to serve as its Commissioner for the last four years. I am also proud of what the LPGA has accomplished during my tenure. My job was to be a change agent, to help move the LPGA into the strongest possible position to ensure its future. Those changes were only possible because the members are dynamic women who provide great value to our sponsors and tournaments. We also have a talented and dedicated staff supported by an engaged board that worked closely together to make progress.
