LPGA, USGA to require players to be assigned female at birth or transition before puberty

^{Published on 2024-12-04 20:06:45 - Terrence Williams, N@N}

The groups concluded that going through male puberty allows for competitive advantages in golf. The new policies rule out eligibility for Hailey Davidson.

The article from The Daily Progress discusses the evolving landscape of transgender policies in professional golf. The LPGA, USGA, and PGA Tour are each addressing transgender participation differently. The LPGA has been considering changes to its gender policy, which currently requires players to be "female at birth," but has not yet made a final decision. The USGA has updated its policy to allow transgender women to compete in its events, including the U.S. Women's Open, provided they meet certain hormone therapy and testosterone level criteria. Meanwhile, the PGA Tour has not publicly detailed its policy but has indicated that it would handle transgender issues on a case-by-case basis. The article highlights the complexity of these policies, reflecting broader societal debates on transgender rights and sports equity, and notes that golf's governing bodies are navigating these issues with caution, aiming to balance fairness, inclusion, and the integrity of the sport.
