NXXT Golf in Florida has allowed a man who is pretending to be a woman to win their women’s classic, beating all women in the tournament decisively.
And now this transgender pretender might qualify for the LPGA tour.
Here’s the news:
A transgender golfer with dreams of making it to the LPGA tour has won a women’s tournament in Florida, which improved her chances of earning herself a spot in a qualifying tour.
Hailey Davidson, 30, came out on top at the NXXT Women’s Classic on Jan. 17 at the Mission Inn Resort and Club, 35 miles northwest of Orlando, after shooting one-over-73 and ending the three-round tournament +4.
Davidson, a Scottish native residing in Florida, won after being 3-shots behind with two holes to go before forcing a playoff following her play on the 18th hole, according to Davidson’s Instagram post celebrating the victory.
NXXT Golf is a professional women’s golf tour focused on “elevating women’s golf.”
“The Tour’s mission is to prepare the world’s best young women professional golfers for a successful career on the LPGA Tour,” according to the Epson Tour’s website.
The win propelled Davidson to the top of the NXXT tour’s leaderboard where she boasts a total score of 1320, a whopping 150 points ahead of the woman in second place.
Out of the five tournaments held in the league since November, Davidson has placed in the top-2, twice, along with a 7 and 9 place finish.
I hate how the New York Post refers to Davidson as a ‘she’, but the bigger deal is that this NXXT Golf let a man win their women’s tournament. It’s disgusting that any woman would have to take second place to a man and potentially lose out on getting into the LGPA tour.
So much for ‘elevating women’.
