The Clubhouse with Shane Bacon

Ep. 50 - LPGA Commissioner Mike Whan

Shane recaps an interesting weekend that saw Tiger miss the cut, but another strong outing from Phil Mickelson coming off multiple sports hernia surgeries in the past few months. Can Tiger still compete at a high level this season? And what does the strong start mean for Phil? Plus, has Torrey Pines become too difficult of a course now? Plus Mike Whan, LPGA Commissioner, joins Shane to talk about the perception of the women's game as athletes seems to be objectified now more than ever instead of applauded for their skills. Whan weighs in on why that is, what they can do to change it, and the future of the women's game.
