Olson, who retired from professional golf in April, advocates for a policy based on biological sex rather than gender identity in women's sports. Her comments were made in response to a video shared by Riley Gaines, a prominent advocate for women's sports, which showed Davidson competing at the qualifying event.

Davidson still has two more golf events, scheduled for October and December, to officially qualify for the LPGA Tour. The athlete has previously addressed criticism from female competitors, suggesting that those who object to transgender participation are not taking accountability for their own performance.

This situation follows a similar controversy earlier this year when Davidson won the NXXT Women's Classic in Florida. In response to that event, NXXT Golf later changed its rules to allow only biological females to compete, citing a commitment to maintaining the integrity of women's professional golf.
