Bethlehem, PA (My Sportsbook) - The LPGA Tour has decided not to retain embattled commissioner Carolyn Bivens for the final two years of her contract, according to a Golfweek magazine report.

According to the report, which was posted on the magazine's Web site Thursday, the LPGA's Board of Directors has decided to move forward with a search to find a replacement.

A tour media official told The My Sportsbook in an e-mail that Bivens has not resigned her position.

The Golfweek story comes on the heels of reports of a player revolt among some of the tour's top stars.

According to published accounts, a group of players that included Lorena Ochoa, Michelle Wie, Juli Inkster, Natalie Gulbis, Paula Creamer and Cristie Kerr, penned a letter asking the board to remove Bivens from her post. Some of the players confirmed they signed the letter.

Concerns about the tour's direction under Bivens have increased over the past several years as events -- seven since 2007 -- have fallen off the schedule.

There are only 10 tournaments confirmed for 2010.

Bivens, hired in 2005, is open to a buyout of the contract that reportedly pays her $500,000 a year, according to another report posted Thursday on the Web site of Sports Business Daily.

A statement from LPGA chief communications officer David Higdon said the tour is focused on play at this week's U.S. Women's Open.

"Out of respect to the USGA and the amazing work that they've done and continue to do in producing and hosting this great event, we will not respond to media reports on internal matters related to the LPGA business," Higdon said in the statement.
