Players must be assigned female at birth or have transitioned to female before going through male puberty to compete in LPGA tournaments or the eight USGA championships for females under new gender policies.

The updated policies would rule out eligibility for Hailey Davidson , who missed qualifying for the U.S. Women's Open this year .

Davidson began hormone treatments when she was in her early 20s in 2015 and underwent gender reassignment surgery in 2021 .

The policies follow more than a year of study involving medicine, science and sport physiology.
