Yes. The CEO should be a woman. Absolutely. Of the Ladies PGA?? No question. That said, I still hate golf.

Men start to look at womans sports, when it suits them.  And that means if the paycheck is good!!!

I love golf. Especially Ladies golf. I loved it when Dinah Shore was alive and she hosted the Nabisco Dinah Shore Golf Tournament. That was always a fun thing to watch it is still even after her death. My Aunt Chris got me interested and now I am hooked. My dad loves the men’s golf.

Forgot to mention, I think the new CEO should be a woman and a former golf pro.

Rear Admiral Marsha J. Evans (US Navy - Retired)  is the new Acting Commissioner…(source: http://www.lpga.com/content_1.aspx?pid=20715&mid=1).

My ignorance, I’m sure, is quite obvious here. I am not a golfer, nor do I follow it (okay, occassionally I’ll drive the golf cart while my boyfriend hacks around the course - any excuse for a date).

So, is there also a CEO for the LPGA? Or just a Commissioner? (These acronyms are driving me crazy.)

I respect any sporting event for/by women athletes, and certainly admire the strength of the women running the organizations.

Golf is a nice long walk ruined by a little white ball.  :o)

I don’t hate golf, don’t play anymore - but yes the CEO should be a woman.  I don’t think the men would be so thrilled to have a woman CEO of the Men’s PGA

I found golf to be an exercise in frustration..but then I was 13 or 14. Watching it on TV is watching boredom.. Give me baseball any day.

I worked at a golf course as a teen in the club house and I absolutly hate the game.  A bunch of grown people hitting a ball with a stick into a hole, may be good excersise, may not be, look at the posture of most older players.

the PGA Womens group should have a Woman as the  CEO, who cares if she’s straight or gay, not me, to each their own.

Well, golf is boring. I have never understood the love of the sport. Therefore, it has to be a woman who loves golf.

Oh yeah, I forgot, at work I know that guys use golf for business purposes. They make fantastic deals, make lots of business acquaintances and create many network possibilities while playing golf. I shouldn’t knock it.

I don’t enjoy golf, but yes, it should be a woman.

I am a baseball and ice skating fan.
