The Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) updated its gender policy on Wednesday, and players assigned male at birth and who have gone through male puberty will not be eligible to compete.

The USGA and LPGA have announced a new gender policy, which will affect transgender golfers. Starting in 2025, the USGA is implementing a “Competitive Fairness Gender Policy,” which states that “athletes must be assigned female at birth or have transitioned to female prior to going through male puberty in order to compete.”

The LPGA and U.S. Golf Association have announced changes to their transgender policies, effective for the 2025 season. The policies, which were announced in tandem on Wednesday, prohibit athletes who have experienced male puberty from competing in women’s events.
