  • The LPGA Tour has announced a groundbreaking policy update, banning transgender athletes who have undergone male puberty from participating in elite competitions. The ruling, effective in 2025, has drawn both praise and criticism across the sports world.

The LPGA has recently made a significant decision regarding transgender athletes, sparking a wide debate within the golf community and beyond.
