Transgender golfer Hailey Davidson is banned from women's tour, NXXT, after it changes its policy to only allow biological female players to compete

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.'

But golf and tennis are where the big bucks are. Trannies need to infiltrate them, so feminists might actually give a crap.

That's a big win for the 'normal community' and a big loss for the sexual weirdo community. Score one for our team. .

Boxers never accepted a heavy weight fighter who self-identified as a feather weight to compete at the feather weight level. Why? Because there was honor and fairness in the sport AND citizens at the time weren't stupid and the newspaper's weren't sell outs.

It's time to tell the sexual weirdo community to form their own competitions. It can be 'men, women and it's(or whatever pronoun they want to come up with)

There is only one reason why Men watch Women’s Golf.
Watching men wearing skirts is NOT the reason.

Yes. “Hailey” is just a mentally challenged man pretending to be female.

Key West’s infamy is known even in the deep dark mountain hollows of West Virginia.

That simple solution has been available since day one. I don’t know why anybody didn’t come up with it.

Look at the big brain on Leaf! You solved it!
