The LPGA and USGA's new gender policies require players to be assigned female at birth or transitioned before male puberty, aiming at competitive fairness.
Commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan stated, 'Our policy is reflective of an extensive, science-based and inclusive approach,' emphasizing the balance between inclusion and fairness.
Mike Whan noted, 'It starts with competitive fairness as the North star,' indicating focus on equity without delving into political discussions.
The policies reflect over a year of study involving various experts, with findings suggesting that male puberty may provide competitive advantages in golf.
