  • The Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) and the U.S. Golf Association (USGA) have both ruled that trans women who went through "male puberty" cannot compete in women's categories.

The article from MSN discusses the decision by two national golf associations, Golf Canada and Golf Australia, to ban transgender women from participating in women's competitions. This policy change aims to ensure fairness in competition by aligning with the guidelines set by the International Golf Federation (IGF), which itself follows the World Athletics' framework. The IGF has established that transgender women must maintain testosterone levels below 2.5 nmol/L for at least 24 months to be eligible to compete in women's events. This move reflects a broader trend in sports where governing bodies are reevaluating policies concerning transgender athletes to balance inclusivity with competitive equity. The article also touches on the ongoing debate about transgender participation in sports, highlighting the tension between inclusion and maintaining a level playing field.
