Women's golf tour to poll players on gender policies, asks trans golfer to take testosterone tests amid uproar

The Brewer Group CEO Jack Brewer weighs in on transgender golfer Hailey Davidson's comments on a tournament win after receiving backlash and lucrative DEI roles at public universities.

A women’s golf tour responded to backlash Monday after transgender competitor Hailey Davidson won a tournament in Florida and increased her chances of earning a spot on the LPGA Tour.

McKinnon acknowledged the views on whether it is fair Davidson is competing against biological females and said the league will poll its players on its transgender inclusion policies and asked Davidson to "undergo additional testosterone testing to ensure compliance with the appropriate guidelines."
