🚨It has been revealed that 275 female golfers who were about to compete in LPGA Q-School pre-qualifying back in August wrote a letter addressed to the LPGA, USGA and the International Golf Federation (IGF) with concerns that transgender golfer Hayley Davidson’s participation would take a spot away from a biological male.
The letter read in part: “We all know there can be no equal athletic opportunity for women without a separate female golf category. Yet,the LPGA continues to propagate a policy that allows male athletes to qualify, compete and win in women’s golf…”
“We deserve to strive for these rewards with a policy that recognizes fair and equitable competition for women. We hope you will stand with us and act promptly to protect the integrity of the sport that we love."
Davidson advanced and is one of 246 golfers competing this week in the LPGA Qualifying series, with hopes of getting to final qualifying in December.
