Women's professional golf tour, NXXT Golf, has changed its eligibility criteria to only allow biological female players to compete after transgender golfer Hailey Davidson sparked backlash for winning on the circuit.
Davidson, 30, who was born in Scotland but now lives in Florida, won the NXXT Women's Classic at Mission Inn Resort and Club near Orlando in January.
The victory allowed the Scot to take a step closer to the LPGA with the NXXT awarding its top five players with exemptions to the Epson Tour - a step below the top tier of the women's game.
News of the win sparked anger online, with many highlighting how Davidson, a three-time winner on the tour, would likely be able to hit the ball further than a player born female.
The NXXT had initially stuck to its strict policy of allowing trans-women to take part in the competition alongside those who were born female, only to perform a U-turn on Friday.
The tour announced on International Women's Day that it had reversed its gender policy and that, effective immediately, competitors must be a biological female at birth to participate.
A statement from the tour said that the decision had been made in an effort to underscore the organization's 'commitment to maintaining the integrity of women's professional golf and ensuring fair competition.'
'As we navigate through the evolving landscape of sports, it is crucial to uphold the competitive integrity that is the cornerstone of women's sports,' NXXT CEO Stuart McKinnon said.
'Our revised policy is a reflection of our unwavering commitment to celebrating and protecting the achievements and opportunities of female athletes. Protected categories are a fundamental aspect of sports at all levels, and it is essential for our Tour to uphold these categories for biological females, ensuring a level playing field.'

It’s about time!
“NXXT”?
Yeah ... I like the name. I like that the policy matches the name.
Dollars to donuts he moved to Jupiter.
There is no such thing as a “transgender.” DM can’t even get past the first word without making stuff up.
To get more stupider?

Stuart McKinnon !
That is something like a Scottish name.
And the confused golfer is from Scotland.
So it is just a little curious. I wonder how closely the two might be related.
Jupiter, Florida is San Francisco East, where all the gender-deranged go.
OK ... didn’t know that.
Sanity in an insane world, how refreshing. Now Letitia James will sue.
there’s only two major types of transmissions. one is an automatic and the other is a stick shift. not hard to tell the difference in how they drive unless SERIOUSLY confused.
Don’t feel bad, I’ve lived in Florida almost 55 years and I didn’t know thst about Jupiter. 😏
Good...If something is not fair...it has to be challenged...courts be damned.

Good to know.
This trans women at sports thing really has had a simple solution from the beginning. They can even acknowledge that trans women actually exist and that gender is fluid. All I have to do is say that gender may be fluid but biological sex isn’t. there are only two. And who can participate in men’s or women’s sports depends on what biological group they exist in.
That simple solution has been available since day one. I don’t know why anybody didn’t come up with it.
HUZZAH!
Reason, logic and common sense prevail!
Alright guys, still you beating hearts.
Excuse me while I go vomit.
That isn’t a pretty picture.
