Caitlyn Jenner to receive Arthur Ashe Courage Award at ESPY Awards

attends the premiere of Warner Bros. Pictures' "Entourage" at Regency Village Theatre on June 1, 2015 in Westwood, California.

Caitlyn Jenner made a splash Monday, as former Olympian Bruce Jenner debuted as a transgender woman on the cover of Vanity Fair.

The headline declares, “Call me Caitlyn” and the accompanying photo shows Jenner in a strapless corset, legs crossed, sitting on a stool.

The image is from famed celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz.

The photo quickly went viral.  Jenner’s Twitter account surpassed one million followers in four hours, breaking President Barack Obama’s record.

Now, ESPN is set to honor Jenner, by presenting her with the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at this year’s ESPY Awards.

The ESPYs are scheduled for July 15th.
