Transgender golfer Hailey Davidson has advanced to the next stage of the LPGA Tour's Q School after finishing tied for 42nd at Rancho Mirage, California. Davidson refuted claims that she has an unfair advantage, stating on Instagram that she was consistently outdriven by other players. She criticized conservative media for not giving female athletes enough credit and for attacking transgender athletes. Davidson's participation has sparked controversy, with former LPGA Tour golfer Amy Olson calling her inclusion 'unfair.' Davidson will compete in the next qualifying tournament in Venice, Florida, in October, aiming for a spot in the final qualifier in December. Despite facing backlash and a ban from NXXT Golf tournaments earlier this year, Davidson remains focused on her goal to earn an LPGA Tour card.
