Resignation As Commissioner of LPGA
In early July 2009, the Board of Directors of the LPGA received a letter from a group of top players on the Tour calling for Bivens' resignation with two years remaining in her contract. In the letter it was stated that "the majority" of LPGA agreed with this view. The letter came after the announcement that several long-time tournaments would not be returning in 2010 and amidst complaints from tournament directors that Bivens's management style and approach was counterproductive. On July 13, 2009, Bivens officially resigned and an acting commissioner was named while a search for a new commissioner was undertaken.
