  • Only athletes assigned female at birth or assigned male at birth who did not undergo male puberty can compete in events next year.

The LPGA and USGA are set to implement significant changes to their gender policies starting in 2025, aiming to create a more inclusive environment for transgender and non-binary athletes. The new policies will allow transgender women to compete in LPGA events provided they meet specific criteria related to hormone levels and gender reassignment surgery. The USGA has also revised its guidelines to ensure that transgender athletes can participate in its amateur and professional events under similar conditions. These changes reflect a broader movement in sports to address gender identity issues, with both organizations emphasizing fairness, safety, and inclusion. The policies have sparked a range of reactions, from support for promoting inclusivity to concerns about competitive equity.
