The LPGA has been making great strides in recent years, gaining more and more popularity. There are many important links in that process, with Hull being of them. However, the leading faces of the Tour are the ones who conduct many things, and their voice can be crucial in this story. Hull is aware that whoever comes as commissioner will have a very demanding task.
"I don't like to get too involved with the Tour politics but I think we need someone who has a strong mind and is very knowledgeable," Hull told GolfMagic Editor Andy Roberts.
"I do think the LPGA is improving all the time. We have been lucky to have some really good LPGA Commissioners in the past so it will be a tough act to follow."
