Fox News contributor Caitlyn Jenner on Wednesday expressed her support for transgender golfer Hailey Davidson to be permitted to compete in the Ladies Professional Golf Associations (LPGA) Tour next year.

Davidson, 29, is fighting to become the first transgender woman to earn an LPGA Tour card after two rounds in the first stage of this weekend’s 2022 LPGA and Epson Tour Qualifying School.

The avid golf fan and Olympic gold medalist told Roberts that
