Golf was once a gentlemen’s sport, with golf greats like Bobby Jones playing in a shirt and tie, and often knickers.
Other champions, like Arnold Palmer frequently puffed on a cigarette while playing. Some more recent golf greats like John Daly would smoke an entire pack of cigarettes during a round of golf.
As such, many didn’t view golf as a true sport, instead a game of technique and skill like bowling and billiards, unlike triathletes, tennis players, or professional basketball, hockey, and football players who have the look and moves of elite athletes.

Modern golfers have added athleticism to their sport, comparable to other elite athletes.
For example, Tiger Woods trains like an NFL safety. “Tiger’s basic routine includes stretching, core training, doing cardio and weight training.” He will stretch “up to 40 minutes before each workout,” followed by “a three-mile speed run or an endurance run up to seven miles.”
“After his run, Woods hits the weights for two to three hours.” That’s before or after he is practicing his sport of golf.
How strong is he? “Tiger was seen recently bench pressing 315 pounds at a fitness center in Fort Worth, Texas. Tiger weighs around 185 lbs. so he is benching close to double his body weight. He is really strong for his size.”
Golfers are athletes on par with other elite athletes, depending on speed, strength, and power, along with technical skill performing their sport. Given the advantages in these parameters that men hold over women, the two groups rarely compete against each other, other than in a pro-am event or couples golf with cocktails at the local country club.
Yet in today’s modern world where men are believed able to menstruate and become pregnant, it’s no surprise that the transgender movement has coopted golf. Women’s swimming has already been invaded, as I have written about previously. Weightlifting, too. It was only a matter of time until men claiming to be women hit the golf circuit.
As reported by Yahoo Sports,
A Scottish-born transgender golfer has spoken about her dream of earning a Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) tour card after winning a tournament in Florida.
Hailey Davidson, the first male-born golfer to win a professional women’s event three years ago, claimed the top prize at the NXXT Women’s Classic at Howey-in-the-Hills.
Although she claims, there is “a lot of work to be done” before she can join the LPGA Tour, which is “incredibly far off.” if she keeps winning tournaments, her LPGA card may be closer than she thinks, also depending on whether the LPGA “follows the science” and respects female athletes.
