Transgender golfer Hailey Davidson has spoken out after the NXXT Women's Pro Tour announced on Friday that eligible participants must be "a biological female at birth" in order to compete in its events, effectively banning Davidson from all future competitions. 

Davidson, who recently won at the NXXT Women's Classic in January, addressed the policy update in a post on Instagram Stories.

"They changed their policy mid season, after me signing up already and being 2nd in Player of the Year race." 

The victory at the Women’s Classic on Jan. 18 marked Davidson’s first victory in more than two years and, at the time, put the golfer in first place to earn an Epson Tour exemption at the end of the season. 

But the tour faced massive backlash, prompting it to release a statement clarifying its then-policy and Davidson’s eligibility.
