Transgender woman sues USGA and LPGA after being denied entry into U.S. Women’s Open qualifier
Hailey Davidson challenges new USGA and LPGA rules requiring players to be assigned female at birth or transition before puberty, arguing the policy excludes many transgender women, including herself.
- A transgender woman named Hailey Davidson sued the USGA and LPGA after being denied entry into a U.S. Women's Open qualifier due to a policy change requiring players to be assigned female at birth or transitioned before puberty.
- Davidson claimed the new policy effectively bans transgender women from competing as many states prevent children from accessing gender-affirming care like puberty blockers required to meet the eligibility criteria.
- The 33-year-old Davidson transitioned after puberty and previously competed in USGA and LPGA events under a different policy in 2024 but fell short of qualifying.
