The LPGA and USGA announced new gender policies restricting transgender participation, requiring players to be born female at birth and transitioned pre-male puberty, effective 2025.
Hailey Davidson, a transgender golfer, stated that she was effectively banned from competing due to the new regulations and criticized the silence of supporters.
LPGA Commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan emphasized that the policies were developed through an extensive, science-based, and inclusive approach to gender participation in golf.
Davidson's experience highlights the real-world impact of these new rules, as she expressed disappointment over her ineligibility and called out the lack of support from the golf community.
