A golfer who is bidding to become the first transgender woman to earn a Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) tour card has sparked outrage online.
Hailey Davidson, 29, had a strong finish in the first two rounds of the first stage of the LPGA and Epson Tour Qualifying School in Palm Springs this week.
But after DailyMail.com and other outlets reported on her efforts Friday, many questioned whether Davidson's inclusion was fair.
That is because athletes who undergo male puberty before transitioning are widely-believed to retain strength advantages - including how far they can hit a golf ball.
The mother of Wimbledon champion tennis star Andy Murray, Judy Murray, said that Davidson's position was completely unfair on other biological women.
'Not fair at all. Protect women's sport. Listen to the facts, the scientists and the medics. This is wrong,' she tweeted.
Murray was one of a number of users on social media commenting on the fact may well earn her PGA tour card.
According to the LPGA's rules, any player who shoots under 88 after all three rounds will earn a 2023 Epson Tour Status, the official qualifying tour for the LPGA.
Davidson, a Scotland native who lives in Florida, shot a 70 in the first round at the Shadow Ridge Golf Club in Palm Desert California, on Thursday, and hit a 76 during the second round on Friday, Fox News reported.
The score saw her beat much of her competition in the first two qualifying rounds.
LPGA has allowed trans athletes for over a decade, as long as they have undergone hormone treatment and gender reassignment surgery - as Davidson has.

He is NOT a “tramsgender woman”. He is a crossdressing man.
Face it ladies, the left think that men are better at being women than women are.
Look at the gut on that guy! I can’t tell if he’s pregnant or just gaining a beer belly.
They have golf clubs. If they attack him all at once, he won’t be able to do anything!
BARF He’s no lady!
He can compete with the men because some men are stronger and faster than others and he is not one of those so he takes his toys to go play with the girls.
He’s a eunuch.
Men pretending to be women have already polluted women’s swimming, wrestling, etc. I predicted that there wouldn’t be any real pushback until they invaded women’s professional golf (the LPGA).
Will the pushback begin, or will the LPGA just roll over?
How else are you supposed to get attention when you are a mediocre male golfer?
He doesn’t look like a threat to top lady pro golfers. There’s a lot more to winning at golf than distance. It will be the lesser known ladies trying to grind out a living who will suffer.
Probably not. There are very few “transgender women” who actually undergo castration.
This seems to be the case. The Left is pushing women to the far back of the bus. Everybody else is important to them right now, Blacks, Illegals, Gays, Transgenders, and women are the last thing on their minds
The real answer is for a 100% refusal of the female golfers to compete in any match this person competes in.......burn it down by not cooperating.
It’s no longer the LPGA - it’s a free for all freak show that denigrates women
All the real women should pick up and go play for the Arabs and leave the freak league
Two and three decades ago women’s professional golf started really hurting for audiences. Previous viewers validly had the perception that the LPGA had become dominated by butch lesbians. Their tell was often paraded around with a ponytail sticking out the hole in the backs of their caps. The LPOGA expended a lot of effort to try and erase this perception, and get their viewers back.
This real-world catastrophe proves that the viewing public was right the first time. The LPGA is run by a bunch of bull dykes.
Women, don’t you feel liberated now? Isn’t this liberating!
Pikers…
I know you can't tell from the MSM and I don't know what the LPGA will do, but I sense the pushback has already started.
That’s a pretty poor “tell”. Pony tails sticking out the back of caps keeps the cap in place. Lots of female athletes who use caps do that.
