The LPGA Tour did away with its 2010 rule requiring players to be “female at birth.” Hailey Davidson was able to participate in the more inclusive gameplay as a result of this rule adjustment.
Golf fans worldwide have taken notice of her success at the NXXT, and she may go on to play on the LPGA Tour in the future. Davidson might not receive any exemptions even though she presently leads that points list with 1,320 points, more than 150 points ahead of second place.

As per a since-deleted post on X (via Reduxx), Davidson trailed by three strokes with four holes remaining, but managed to complete the comeback after two playoff holes versus Lauren Miller. Miller shot a 76 in the last round, while Davidson shot a one-over 73. In the three-round competition, they both finished four strokes over par.
The NXXT needs at least 10 events with an average participant count of 40 in order to qualify for the Epson Tour exemptions. Currently, there are considerably fewer NXXT fields than that amount.
Davidson won the three-round competition earlier this week, defeating 24 players. In a playoff, she won her first title in two and a half years, having trailed by three points with two strokes remaining. Although it was Davidson’s first win of the year, Davidson has been solid all season. Here is all you need to know about her.
