  • The updated policies, which take effect in 2025, would rule out eligibility for Hailey Davidson. Davidson missed qualifying for the US Women's Open this year by one shot and came up short in LPGA Q-school.

The article from the Boston Globe discusses the LPGA and USGA's new transgender policy, which was implemented to address the participation of transgender athletes in women's golf. The policy requires transgender women to maintain a testosterone level below a certain threshold for at least 12 months prior to competing in LPGA and USGA events. This move aims to balance fairness and inclusion, ensuring that transgender athletes can participate while maintaining competitive equity. The policy has sparked a range of reactions, with some advocating for more inclusive measures and others concerned about the potential impact on the sport's competitive integrity. The LPGA and USGA have stated that the policy was developed after extensive consultation with medical experts, sports scientists, and transgender advocates to create guidelines that respect both the rights of transgender athletes and the fairness of the competition.
