Mianne Bagger asks European tour to let her play as a woman
Transsexual golfer Mianne Bagger is hoping that the International Olympic Committee's recent ruling that transsexual players can compete as their assigned gender will open doors for her to play on the ladies' tours in Europe and the U.S. She has written to Ladies' European Tour chief executive Ian Randell asking that the rule stating players must be female at birth (nice) be changed. Bagger, 37, has also contacted the tours in America and Australia saying that now the International Olympic Committee have decreed transsexuals can compete at the Olympics, it is time golf followed suit.
