Hailey Davidson is hoping her next stop is the LPGA after her mini-tour win at Providence Golf Club last week, although she is awaiting word on her eligiblity.
According to Beth Ann Nichols of Golfweek, the transgender woman underwent gender confirmation surgery in January and had been undergoing hormone treatments since 2015.
"We are currently reviewing Hailey’s application to participate in LPGA Tour events under the LPGA’s gender policy," LPGA Chief Tour Operations Officer Heather Daly-Donofrio said. "The policy is designed to be a private and confidential process between the LPGA and the athlete."
Davidson is allowed to compete in USGA championships after the organization told her she met its Gender Policy eligibility criteria. She is hoping for a similar result through a reciprocity agreement.
The USGA previously had a policy that required a player to be two years removed from surgery in order to compete, but the rule was changed this year. The LPGA had a "female at birth" requirement until removing the rule in 2010.
Davidson hadn't played a professional tournament in six years before returning to the sport in April. She finished 10th at a U.S. Women’s Open qualifier before competing in the NWGA event this weekend, winning the event after shooting two strokes under par across the two rounds.
The 28-year-old is now hoping to be the first transgender woman to compete in the LPGA.
"As cool as it would be the first person to do something, to be honest, right now could not be a better time for me to hopefully keep pushing forward and maybe break out, because there is so much anti-transgender legislation," Davidson said.
"I feel like actually having representation on any professional sports level will give kids so much more hope."

I hear you, the same feminists who have been pushing women’s sports have been promoting homosexuality. Now they can pay the piper.
Another XX sport destroyed.
Does the DNA say it is a man? Then it is a man. Henrich-Dora Ratjen did it for the 1936 Olympics with a nazi blessing.
A man in a dress has always been used to get laughs. Tolstoy told of the Rostov buffoon, the family Jester, a man who dressed in a woman’s shawl and had a woman’s name.
All the old comedians used the man in a dress skit to get laughs. Buster Keaton, Cary Grant, Red Skelton, James Cagney, Milton Berle, and many others.
So when I see a man in a dress I point and laugh! If he did not want to be ridiculed and laughed at he would not be wearing a dress.
He’s a big knocker.
Pound my monkey, Richard....
Those man tits made me wretch and throw up a little.
Old timers with a join date in the previous millennium don’t need to read at all.
If it’s a non-physical sport like chess or pigeon racing or cooking then fine.
Jenner had a great many endorsements and money making opportunities over the years so he wasn’t exactly broke.
He was married to Kris Kardashian, the Madam of the Kardashian Klan, for fourteen years. Kris seems to know how to grub a shekel so I expect he profited greatly from her advice.
I agree; but, common sense seems completely gone in this society. Stating the obvious can cause the speaker a lot of problems. We are no longer allowed to state the obvious. These freaks are going to march thru women's sports until no actual (biological) woman ever wins anything again.
I can't wait for the Olympics to start giving women's medals to men who "say" that they are women. Wait til they get to Figure Skating. Will Ferrell made a comedy about two guys skating in the Pairs Event and winning. We are now doing this in reality.
Goodbye to women's sports period.
Good. The more this stuff is forced upon America’s women the sooner stupid, insane liberal broads will realize liberalism is the enemy.
One thing that men who want to be women can’t change is the hands. Look at that picture, concentrate on the hand. That’s a man!
Gender reassignment surgery, hormones for 6 years and what ever else he can think up, he’ll still have mans DNA and will till the day he dies.
A total fool. you can’t cheat God.
I publicly trash the so called “trans women” in women's
sports all the time and I am yet to get into any “trouble”.
Almost everyone I know agree with me.
These freaks are going to march thru women's sports until no actual (biological) woman ever wins anything again.
Not gonna happen. Red states are busy passing laws to stop these “trans women” freaks from taking part in women's sports. Even liberals I know are against this nonsense.
Feherty is often funny but is a scum bag of a human. Of course he endorses this
Why on earth do these women athletes continue to participate in an event where a trannie is also contending. WHY ON EARTH don't they just refuse to play...in other word, go on STRIKE !!!
No guts, no glory.
