Transgender Golfer Who Played On Men’s College Team Poised to Become First to Earn LPGA Tour Card

Golfer Hailey Davidson is on the cusp of becoming the first transgender golfer to earn a tour card for the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) after a recent strong showing during the first rounds of  the LPGA and Epson Tour Qualifying School in Palm Springs.

LPGA’s rules state that any player who shoots under 88 after all three rounds earns 2023 Epson Tour Status and officially qualifies for the LPGA tour.

Davidson earned a scholarship to play on the men’s team at Wilmington University in Delaware, ultimately transferring to the men’s team at Christopher Newport in Virginia.

The Daily Mail reports:

Competing against 310 other women, Davidson is tied at 59th place and appears to be in a good position to pass the first stage and move onto Stage II in October against the top 100 players.

The LPGA Tour had removed its ‘female at birth’ requirement back in 2010.
