Transgender Golfer Hailey Davidson Undergoes Testosterone Test after Winning NXXT Women's Classic

Davidson, who began hormone therapy in 2015, faces backlash but remains hopeful for a future in the LPGA Tour.

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.'
