Overview

• Transgender golfer Hailey Davidson, who won the NXXT Women's Classic in Florida, has been asked to undergo testosterone testing following public concerns about her participation.
• Davidson began hormone therapy treatments in 2015 and underwent gender reassignment surgery in 2021.
• Davidson's win puts her in first place in the race to earn an Epson Tour exemption, a developmental tour of the LPGA Tour.
• NXXT Golf CEO Stuart McKinnon defended the organization’s transgender inclusion policies, saying they were formed in alignment with the LPGA and the United States Golf Association.
• Davidson has faced backlash and hateful messages since her win, but maintains that she is 'so incredibly far from the LPGA Tour with a lot of work to be done to possibly earn my way there one day.'
