Two Major Golf Associations Ban Female Transgender Players
announced that beginning with the 2025 season, players who have undergone male puberty will no longer be eligible to compete on the LPGA Tour, Epson Tour, Ladies European Tour, and in all other elite LPGA competitions. Transgender women who have undergone male puberty prior to transitioning may still be allowed to compete in “open events,” such as recreational programs and non-elite events open to people regardless of assigned sex at birth.A slimmer minority of transgender women who did not undergo male puberty, such as those who started puberty blockers before age 12, may be eligible to compete under the LPGA guidelines.
