The Ladies Professional Golf Association just instituted a new gender eligibility rule that will go into affect in 2025.
“Players assigned male at birth and who have gone through male puberty are not eligible to compete in the aforementioned events,” the organization said. “The policies governing the LPGA’s recreational programs and non-elite events utilize different criteria to provide opportunities for participation in the broader LPGA community.”
“Golf offers opportunities for all athletes to compete at professional and elite amateur levels,” the LPGA Tour said. “Individual competitions are generally categorized as ‘women’s events,’ which have specific eligibility requirements, or ‘open events,’ where any player, regardless of sex, is eligible to compete.”
“Our policy is reflective of an extensive, science-based, and inclusive approach,” Marcoux Samaan said. “The policy represents our continued commitment to ensuring that all feel welcome within our organization while preserving the fairness and competitive equity of our elite competitions.”
Wow, that was pretty simple and makes a lot of sense, let’s see if the NCAA will follow suit and stop men from competing against women, how about the Olympic Committee? Seems like this is a very rational approach to end the “controversy”, which is so black and white there really is no controversy, just virtue signaling idiot lemmings following each other over a cliff.
