LPGA drops 'female at birth' clause

Dec 1, 2010

LPGA players voted Tuesday to allow transgender women golfers the opportunity to play on the tour.

In a league meeting prior to this week's LPGA Tour Championship, a motion was voted on to amend the LPGA's constitution by removing the "female at birth" requirement, LPGA commissioner Michael Whan said.

The change is a reaction to a lawsuit filed Oct. 12 in U.S. District Court in San Francisco by Lana Lawless, a 57-year-old retired police officer who underwent gender reassignment surgery in 2005. Lawless claimed the policy violated California civil rights laws.

Lawless won the women's world championship in long-drive golf in 2008, but was ruled ineligible to participate this year.
