BREAKING: Golf influencer Paige Spiranac is making headlines once again as she publicly defends her choice of golf attire in a recent interview with People magazine. The former collegiate golfer, who has become a social media sensation, is responding to ongoing criticism regarding her fashion choices on the course.
In her interview, Spiranac emphasized the importance of personal expression, stating, “My main message is always do what you want to do, wear what you want to wear.” She firmly believes in embracing individual style, which for her often includes “a little bit more sexy, more form-fitting” clothing. This bold stance comes as she faces backlash from those who feel her attire disrespects the traditional norms of golf.
Spiranac, who played for San Diego State in the Mountain West Conference, transitioned from a potential professional golf career to becoming one of the most followed sports personalities online. She explained that her background as a gymnast influenced her style choices. “I started wearing tank tops and leggings, and it just caused such an uproar,” she said, adding that critics were upset about her lack of a collared shirt and her body exposure.
The athlete is not shy about addressing the double standards in sports. In a pointed commentary last July, she showcased the “hypocrisy” surrounding the reactions to male athletes who show off their bodies, noting the absence of negative remarks towards them compared to the harsh judgments she faces. “Interesting how different the reaction is online when men choose to show off their bodies,” she posted on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting the disparity in societal reactions.
Spiranac’s commitment to body positivity resonates deeply, especially with young girls. She advocates for self-acceptance and confidence, stating, “I don’t want young girls to grow up feeling insecure about their body or everyone telling them they should cover up.”
Adding to the excitement surrounding her, Spiranac is set to make a cameo in the highly anticipated film Happy Gilmore 2, premiering at the Jazz at Lincoln Center on July 21, 2025, in New York City. Her presence in the film is expected to draw significant attention, further solidifying her status in the sports and entertainment industry.
As Spiranac continues to blaze her own trail in the often conservative world of golf, her message of confidence and authenticity has sparked conversations about fashion, gender, and self-expression in sports. Fans and critics alike are watching closely as she navigates these challenges, making her one of the most compelling figures in today’s sports landscape.
