LPGA and USGA Implement New Gender Policy for Women's Golf

The LPGA and USGA have updated their gender policies, requiring players to be assigned female at birth or have transitioned before male puberty to compete in women's tournaments, starting in 2025. This decision, based on extensive research, aims to ensure competitive fairness while being inclusive of gender identities. The policy affects players like Hailey Davidson, who began transitioning in her 20s. The LPGA and USGA emphasize that the policy is science-based and aligns with similar policies in other sports.

US public opinion turns against trans athletes in sports: Gallup poll

A new Gallup poll shows that a growing majority of Americans, including Democrats, believe transgender athletes should compete under their birth gender, with 69% of those polled supporting this view. The poll also found that 55% of Americans consider changing one's gender to be morally wrong, while just 43% find it morally acceptable. The results suggest that laws restricting participation for transgender athletes are generally in line with US public opinion, with Americans viewing transgender sports participation more through a lens of competitive fairness than transgender civil rights.

US public opinion shifts towards biological gender-based sports participation for trans athletes.

Americans are less supportive of transgender athletes playing for teams aligned with their gender identity than they were two years ago, according to a Gallup poll. The survey found that 69% of Americans believe transgender athletes should be restricted to sports teams that conform with their birth gender, compared to 62% in 2021. The issue is seen more as one of competitive fairness than of transgender civil rights, with even Democrats divided on the issue. The poll also found that support for transgender athletes playing on teams aligned with their gender identity fell among those who knew a transgender person.
