  The LPGA and USGA announced a change to their gender policies on Wednesday that prohibits players who have been through male puberty from competing as a female.

The LPGA and USGA have updated their gender policy for competition eligibility, as reported by Golfweek. The new policy, effective immediately, allows transgender athletes to compete in LPGA and USGA events under specific conditions. These conditions include that the athlete must have completed gender reassignment surgery and must have undergone hormone therapy for at least one year, with testosterone levels that meet the sport's standards for female competitors. This update aims to align with international standards and provide clarity and fairness in competition, reflecting a broader movement in sports to address transgender participation. The policy change has sparked discussions on inclusivity, competitive equity, and the balance between rights and fairness in women's sports.
