Jenner is backing 29-year-old Hailey Davidson, who underwent gender reassignment surgery last year and has been trying to get in the tour to compete. Davidson last competed as a male in a 2015 tournament, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2022\/08\/25\/caitlyn-jenner-backs-trans-golfer-hailey-davidson-fight-lpga-tour\/\">TMZ<\/a> noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been very consistent with how I\u2019ve tried to approach these transgender athletes,\u201d Jenner said. \u201cIt really depends on the sport. Every sport is different. Obviously, we saw with Lia Thomas, she had gone through male puberty, bigger cardiovascular system, it just wasn\u2019t fair. And fortunately, we won that one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGolf is totally different game,\u201d the reality star added. \u201cIt is a game of touch and feel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jenner talked about competing in LPGA tour events and said \u201cthese girls are really, really good,\u201d noting that Davidson was \u201cplaying within the rules.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHonestly, for me, the jury is still out on this one,\u201c Jenner said. \u201cI don\u2019t know if [Davidson\u2019s] going to be able to make it on the LPGA tour.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think she\u2019s in a position where she\u2019s gonna be dominating on the LPGA tour,\u201d the star added. \u201cTo be honest with you, those girls are so good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The LPGA Tour changed its rules in 2010 to allow golfers who were not born female to compete.<\/p>\n<p>In January, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/caitlyn-jenner-biological-boys-should-not-be-playing-in-womens-sports\">Jenner<\/a> said during a Fox appearance that \u201cbiological boys \u2026 should not be playing in women\u2019s sports. We need to protect women\u2019s sports. Obviously, this is about Lia Thomas, who has brought a lot of attention to this issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst of all, I respect her decision to live her life authentically \u2014 100% \u2014 but it also comes with responsibility and some integrity,\u201d the star explained, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/we-need-to-protect-womens-sports-caitlyn-jenner-on-transgender-athletes\">Jenner<\/a>\u00a0noted the unfair advantage\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/trans-swimmer-lia-thomas-shrugs-off-question-of-advantages-over-biological-females-im-happy\">Thomas<\/a> has when swimming against women being born a biological boy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know why she\u2019s doing it,\u201d Caitlyn added. \u201cShe knows when she\u2019s swimming, she\u2019s beating the competition by two laps. She was born a biological boy. She was raised as a biological boy. Her cardiovascular system is bigger, her respiratory system is bigger, her hands are bigger, she can swim faster.
