Transgender golfer sues LPGA over policy that protects women's competitions
Fox News ^ | 3/20/26 | Jackson Thompson

Transgender golfer Hailey Davidson has sued the LPGA and USGA for its policies that prohibit biological males who underwent male puberty from competing in women's competition.

The LPGA said in a statement it was aware of the lawsuit and would "let that process play out on the proper forum."

"The LPGA’s gender policy was developed through a thoughtful, expert-informed process and is grounded in protecting the competitive integrity of elite women’s golf," the statement said.

The USGA and LPGA changed gender policies for events in 2025 and beyond, declaring that players must be assigned female at birth or have transitioned to female before going through male puberty to be eligible to compete.

The 33-year-old Davidson didn’t transition until after puberty. Davidson competed in a U.S. Open qualifier and LPGA Qualifying School under a different policy in 2024, falling short in both efforts.

Davidson claimed in the lawsuit that the new policy effectively bans transgender women from competing in USGA women’s events or the LPGA because many states prevent children from taking hormones or blocking puberty.

When the USGA denied Davidson entry into the qualifier, Davidson claimed the Hackensack Golf Club violated the law by saying the USGA controlled all decisions regarding eligibility. Davidson began hormone treatments in Davidson's early 20s in 2015 and in 2021 underwent gender-affirming surgery, which was required under the LPGA’s previous gender policy.

Davidson also filed a lawsuit against the women's golf tour NXXT in December after it changed its policies to prevent biological males from competing against females.

Seriously, I thought this ship has sailed. I will make this clear, I have zero tolerance for the encouragement of this mental disorder. They need Christ-period.
I can’t believe there’s people out there defending this crap.

“...players must be assigned (should have said “born”) female at birth...”

The LPGA and USGA should have left it that.

Yep. After his penis has been removed and he must wear a tampon shoved up his ass.

I have zero tolerance for this kind of nonsense, there are only two sexes, but every once in a great while an accident of birth causes an unfortunate hermaphrodite.

Nature screws up, but not often.

>> Seriously, I thought this ship has sailed.

His-her-its timing is off, in the “late” direction. By the grace of GOD, it appears that the gender dysphoria “preference falsification” has been outed and the western world’s mass formation psychosis is abating.

>> I will make this clear, I have zero tolerance for the encouragement of this mental disorder. They need Christ-period.

AMEN and AMEN

Yes, and you can’t change that either!

Based on the mental disorder known as transvestite-ism, BigEducation’s Marxist indoctrination has been a rousing success!

Another indicator...
Survey: Nearly two-thirds of young Americans support socialism
-The survey found 62 percent of American adults under age 30 hold a ‘favorable’ view of socialism.
-34 percent of American adults under age 30 hold a ‘favorable’ view of communism.

Why not say you need XX chromosones to compete in the LPGA?

Well, he can always compete in weight lifting, caber tossing, or body building. It will work out.

I disagree. That statement validates the whacko tranny leftists. No one is “assigned” gender at birth. Gender is identified and recorded at birth.

God is in control, He doesn’t make mistakes, He knows the rare situations you mention and He allowed it for purposes we likely will never understand. But, I doubt His intention was for people to latch onto the idea they can change from boy to girl or opposite.

Golf is a spectator sport sport. Nobody is going to PAY to watch men pretend to be women. It will kill the LPGA.

Just no. It’s Women’s golf. No man can ever be a woman. What idiocy.

These Transgenders are a threat to themselves and society, demon possessed and created by evil satanic doctors. A blight on our society.

This is the dumbest thing I have read in a while. Why can they not just say that the idea of men playing as women is ludicrous and will not be entertained? No one really believes this crap.
