Hailey Davidson looks set to become the first transgender woman to receive an LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association) tour card. She looked impressive in the opening two rounds of this week's LPGA and Epson Tour Qualifying School in Palm Springs. Davidson needed to shoot under 88 in all three rounds to earn 2023 Epson Tour Status, and she did it with scores of 70 in the first round and 76 in the second round, qualifying her for a tour card. She is presently tied for 59th out of the 310 competitors in the women's field. In view of this, Murray expressed her concern on Twitter, opining that Davidson's stance was extremely unfair to other biological women. She also exhorted others to pay attention to science and medical experts. "No. Not fair at all. Protect women’s sport. Listen to the facts, the scientists and the medics. This is wrong," she wrote. judy murray@JudyMurrayNo. Not fair at all. Protect women’s sport. Listen to the facts, the scientists and the medics.

The majority of them criticized the coach for her mindset and for demeaning transgender athletes.

They also stated that it was hurtful to see such remarks coming from someone they really admire. "This is why I’m so glad Serena and Venus keep their mouths shut on any topic, as someone who isn’t cisgender, reading this from someone who I really admired is hurtful," the user wrote.
