LPGA Tour announces final decision on transgender athletes

^{Published on 2024-12-04 20:08:05 - Terrence Williams, N@N}

The LPGA Tour has officially decided to prohibit transgender athletes from competition. On Wednesday, the LPGA Tour announced its updated gender-eligibility policy. The new policy will prohibit male players who have gone through male puberty from competing in the LPGA Tour,

The LPGA Tour has announced its final decision regarding the participation of transgender athletes, aligning its policy with that of the United States Golf Association (USGA) and other major sports organizations. The policy now requires transgender women to have undergone gender reassignment surgery and to have completed at least one year of hormone therapy, maintaining testosterone levels below a specified threshold for a minimum of 12 months prior to competition. This decision aims to ensure fairness and inclusivity in women's golf while adhering to international standards on transgender athlete participation. The LPGA's move reflects a broader trend in sports to balance competitive equity with respect for gender identity.
