  • Two national golf associations announced new gender eligibility policies Wednesday that bar transgender women who have gone through male puberty from participating in elite women's competitions.

The LPGA and USGA have introduced new eligibility rules for transgender golfers, aiming to align with broader sports policies on transgender participation. These rules stipulate that transgender women must have undergone gender reassignment surgery and must maintain testosterone levels below a specified threshold for a continuous period before they can compete in women's events. This decision comes after discussions and reviews of policies from other sports organizations, reflecting a move towards uniformity in handling transgender athlete eligibility. The changes are part of an effort to ensure fairness and inclusivity in women's golf, addressing concerns about competitive equity while also considering the rights of transgender athletes.
