On November 26th in Spain, Mike Whan laid out a plan that would unite the LPGA with the struggling European tour. Members at the Ladies European Tour’s player meeting voted in overwhelming favor of the 50-50 proposal. Whan told the LPGA board that he believed it was the tour’s responsibility to help boost the tour in Europe. While there won’t be an immediate pathway to the LPGA in terms of automatic cards like the Symetra Tour, Whan sees that day coming. “Two teams, joining for one common purpose, will create opportunities we simply could not have pursued on our own,” said LET Board Chair Marta Figueras-Dotti.
