Transgender golfer Hailey Davidson has been banned by professional women’s golf Tour NXXT Golf just two months after winning the NXXT Women’s Classic in Florida, according to Mirror.com.
The mini-tour announced its decision to ban Davidson on International Women’s Day on Friday, in a bid to make their tournaments a ‘level playing field’. NXXT CEO Stuart McKinnon said in a statement: “As we navigate through the evolving landscape of sports, it is crucial to uphold the competitive integrity that is the cornerstone of women’s sports.
“‘Our revised policy is a reflection of our unwavering commitment to celebrating and protecting the achievements and opportunities of female athletes,” said McKinnon.
NXXT Women’s Pro Tour Team Golf is a revolutionary concept designed to bring together exceptional talent, foster camaraderie, and showcase the prowess of our incredible athletes in a team-based format and the NXXT Women’s Pro Tour updates its eligibility policy regularly to protect competitive integrity, according to its website.
