Transgender golfer Hailey Davidson will compete in this week’s LPGA Qualifying Series despite complaints by more than 275 female golfers voicing their concerns over her and other transgender athletes being included in professional competition.

The golfers, with the Independent Women’s Forum, sent letters to the LPGA, the United States Golf Association, and the International Golf Federation back in August to voice their concerns before Davidson advanced through the pre-qualifying stage of qualifying school (Q-School), where Davidson finished in a tie for 42nd place, reported OutKick, which obtained a copy of the letters. 

This week, Davidson will compete in a 246-player field in hopes of advancing to the final stage of Q-School in December, where the golfers hope to earn an LPGA card.
