‘Not Good LPGA’ – Martina Navratilova Takes on Women’s Golf Tour Over Their Move to Allow a Transitioned Biological Male to Compete

Former Czech-American tennis player Martina Navratilova has been one of the most outspoken tennis players in recent times. Often, she uses her social media to talk about various social issues. Recently, she expressed her views about the LPGA tour’s controversial decision to let a transgender athlete compete on the women’s tour.

Notably, a few weeks ago, Navratilova became really vocal about the controversy surrounding the PGA tour and the Saudi-backed LIV golf series. Apart from that, she also shares her political views sometimes.

Recently, a Twitter user shared an article and in the caption, she wrote, “Totally fair and legitimate, right ladies? Biological male earns spot on women’s pro golf tour after transitioning LAST YEAR.”

After seeing that, the 18-time Grand Slam winner Navratilova retweeted, “Oh boy- not good LPGA, not good…”

Later, she got into a Twitter conversation with some fans, as she said, “That is funny. Watching mens golf and quite often the club head speed is over 170 mph while women I never saw hit harder than 140mph. And Bobby was too old to beat Billie. But a nice try:). So no – women do not hit the ball further than men.”

Notably, Navratilova was reacting to the news that a biological man named Hailey Davidson changed gender last year. Hence, the LPGA is allowing the golfer to play in their division. It is also worth noting that Davidson competed in the men’s tour back in 2015. In 2021, the golfer underwent gender reassignment surgery; in 2010, the LPGA Tour removed the ‘female at birth’ rule, which has now helped Davidson to play in the women’s division.

A look at Navratilova’s GOAT career

Navratilova has always been a talented player from an early age. However, she did not receive any support from the Czech government. As a result, she left her country and moved to the US. Then, in 1975, she turned professional, and the rest is history.

In the beginning, she did not win many tournaments, thanks to her great rival and close friend Chris Evert, who beat her in many finals. In 1978, she made a massive breakthrough, as she won her first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon.

In the 80s, she was practically unbeatable, as she won 2 French Open titles, 3 Australian Open titles, 4 US Open titles, and 6 consecutive Wimbledon titles. Totally, she won 18 Grand Slam singles titles, which is the fifth most in history.

Due to her tremendous career, which lasted almost 30 years on the tour, many fans believe she is the GOAT.
