-Instagram.
Golf influencer Paige Spiranac is addressing criticism over her latest outfit worn on the driving range, responding directly to those questioning her attire. The 32-year-old shared images of herself practicing in a backless ensemble recently, drawing both praise and pushback from her online followers.
The outfit was worn during a visit to a location of personal significance to her. “I hit my very first golf ball on this range and all these years later it’s still one of my favorite places,” she added in a separate post.
While some users criticised her look as “unprofessional” and questioned modern golf etiquette, others came to her defence, applauding her confidence and authenticity. “Love your beautiful body and your personality,” one fan commented. Another joked, “That’s it, I’m taking up golf.”
Spiranac, who played college golf at the University of Arizona and San Diego State University, has built a following of over four million on Instagram with golf content that blends skill and personality. Her unconventional wardrobe choices have frequently sparked online debate.
In a past interview with Sports Illustrated, Spiranac shared that her approach to golf attire was influenced by her background in gymnastics and financial constraints early in her career. “I wore what was in my closet, which was workout clothes. That’s just how I learned to play the game,” she said.
Reflecting on her first pro tournament at the 2015 Dubai Ladies Masters, Spiranac recalled hearing offensive comments from other players. “It was really difficult. I just wanted to be liked and I played so bad,” she said during a recent episode of the Quiet Please! podcast.
