Two golf governing bodies, the LPGA and the USGA, have recently announced new guidelines regarding transgender athletes' eligibility to compete in women's events. Starting in 2025, golfers must be female at birth or have transitioned before puberty to participate in women's competitions.
According to the new policies, athletes assigned female at birth can compete in various events, including the LPGA Tour, Epson Tour, Ladies European Tour, and USGA championships. However, players assigned male at birth who have undergone male puberty are not eligible to compete in women's events.
