NXXT Golf Tour Bans Transgender Athletes, Citing Competitive Fairness

The decision, announced on International Women's Day, aims to ensure that competitors are biological females at birth, sparking significant debate.

NXXT Golf Tour CEO Stuart McKinnon emphasizes the ban is based on the principle of competitive fairness, not made lightly.
Transgender golfer Hailey Davidson, a three-time winner on the tour, is immediately affected by the ban, claiming it undermines the efforts of all female athletes.
The ban has led to backlash from the LGBTQ+ community and Davidson, who vows to keep fighting against what she perceives as hate and bigotry.
NXXT Golf is the second women's mini-tour in the U.S. to implement such a ban, following the Arizona-based Cactus Tour.
The decision was made after consulting with stakeholders in the golfing community, including players, who overwhelmingly supported the ban.
