Hailey Davidson, a transgender golfer who nearly qualified for the U.S. Women’s Open earlier this year, took a shot at athletes who complain about competing against trans athletes.
“I will never understand athletes who blame a transgender competitor on their own athletic failures,” Davidson wrote seemingly out of the blue. “If you don’t take accountability for your failures then you will never actually be good enough to make it.”
“3 shots in the hole out of 15 total isn’t too bad,” she captioned the post with qualifiers starting at the end of the August. “I’m super excited for Q School coming up soon, especially after not playing last year.
“If there is a genuine question as to the eligibility of any applicant, including via sponsor exemptions or qualifiers, the LPGA shall have the right, within its sole discretion, to require such athlete to substantiate her transitioned status in accordance with this Policy.”The transgender athlete must have “undergone gender reassignment surgery prior to submitting an application for membership or entering the tournament.
