Women’s mini-tour in Florida changes to female-at-birth policy

Associated Press  

MIAMI — The NXXT Golf mini tour for women announced Friday it has updated its eligibility policy to require all players to be a biological female at birth. The decision follows Hailey Davidson, who underwent gender reassignment surgery in 2021, winning once and finishing runner-up three times on the NXXT Golf tour this season. NXXT Golf is awarding its leading five players two exemptions into the Epson Tour, though it still has not met required field sizes. The mini tour’s updated policy, which went into effect Thursday, was to maintain the integrity of women’s professional golf and ensure fair competition.
