The golfing diva has always been very vocal about the various issues that have plagued golf. From opening up about the strict dress code of the game to trying to promote women’s sports, the 30-year-old has been using the influence she has on the internet to bring changes to the game she loves very much. And this has, in turn, led to her gaining a lot of haters on the LPGA circuit as well.
In a Q&A session on Paige Spiranac’s Instagram stories, the golfer was asked about her reputation with professionals from the women’s tour. Responding to the query by her fan, the athlete mentioned how certain pros whom she has known for a while “are really cool” while others “hate how she(Spiranac) presents herself and the game on social media.”
Continuing on, she pointed out the fact that “empowered women empower other women” all the while revealing how she holds “no ill will against anyone” for the “difference of opinion.” Hopeful of “getting the f**k over it one day soon,” the model indicated how she is just doing her part like everyone else to “bring awareness to the game in her own way.”
She expressed her desire to “collaborate with more women on tour and in media” to display the skills of the athletes while alluding to how trying to bring each other down only leads to an unfavorable outcome for everyone and the game.

Spiranac’s controversial views on clothing in golf
The social media influencer had expressed her displeasure with the LPGA and its strict dress code a while back. During the Ricoh Women’s British Open, the women’s golfing body imposed a ban on certain apparel, including the likes of leggings, plunging necklines, and short skirts, earning the ire of many, including the diva.
She went ahead to take a subtle jab at the same, albeit in a humorous manner, by stating, “Maybe why I never made it on tour. Too much clothing. The dress code ruined my chances.” Her witty remark did lead to many discussions, and her fellow athletes, such as Michelle Wie West and Sandra Gal, disagreed with the new restrictions.
