NAPLES, Fla. — LPGA Tour commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan was two-sport athlete at Princeton University, playing on both the hockey and soccer teams. As a forward in hockey, her 120 goals ranked second in school history. She returned to the school as its athletic director in 2014 before becoming the big boss at the LPGA just over three years ago.
With almost a half-decade under her belt, she’s hoping that the organization’s recent goals will stave off some direct criticisms of her leadership as the LPGA Tour heads into its 75th year.
