LPGA and USGA Update Transgender Policy

News summary

The LPGA and USGA have announced new gender eligibility policies for their competitions starting in 2025, barring transgender women who have undergone male puberty from participating in elite women’s golf events. This change aligns with scientific research indicating physical advantages conferred by male puberty, aiming to maintain competitive fairness in women's golf. Transgender players who transitioned before male puberty are still eligible to compete. The policy affects all elite competitions, including the LPGA Tour, Epson Tour, and Ladies European Tour, while non-elite events will have different criteria. The decision follows a broader debate on transgender athletes in sports and comes after protests from female players, such as those against golfer Hailey Davidson's participation. Both organizations consulted medical and scientific experts to ensure a comprehensive approach to these updates.
