ABSTRACT

Gulbis’ decision to pose for FHM wasn’t one she came to alone, however. A PR firm, retained by the LPGA, aided in soliciting the shoot, as it did an offer for Gulbis to appear on Howard Stern’s radio gabfest. (Gulbis turned that one down.) ‘As our players become recognizable celebrities, more unconventional media outlets are becoming interested. If Natalie is comfortable (posing in FHM), we’re supportive of the decision’ says Commissioner Ty Votaw, who has been urging players to leverage their looks and charm, as well as their swings.
