If you are someone who follows Paige Spiranac, you might agree that she has a warm and cheerful personality that lightens up the mood of her millions of fans. With most golf events, the golf influencer has insights and predictions to offer. These tidbits amplify the excitement surrounding the events.

Recently, her Ryder Cup predictions about the ones that will make it to the Captain’s Picks received a lot of traction. She was mostly on track with her analysis as well. However, she has stayed silent about the Solheim Cup so far, and behind that lurks a somber reason!

The reason why Paige Spiranac maintains silence about the Solheim Cup 

It’s not only the Solheim Cup; Paige Spiranac mostly keeps mum about LPGA events in general. However, this time, things were a bit different. She had mentioned Natalie Gulbis in one of the episodes from her podcast, in response to a question.

She had said that Gulbis was her inspiration when she stepped into golf. Spiranac described her aversion to baggy clothes and said Gulbis gave her the confidence to style herself comfortably. With Gulbis being one of the vice captains this year, fans were hoping Spiranac would break her silence.

However, the wounds of not making it to the LPGA Tour probably stay deep within the blonde beauty. She has spoken about the reasons why she never qualified for the Tour, which mostly related to her not being able to compete at that level. The influencer even described how she would dream of playing through an entire course in her mind sometimes.

Although the disappointment is probably towards herself, there are chances that she might have faced struggles she didn’t want to share with the world. To add to potential struggles she never spoke about, there were also struggles she did speak about with criticisms she had faced from players. And to add to it all, there is also the dramatic conflict that arose in 2016.

The painful history between Spiranac and the LPGA

Paige Spiranac has shared once that golf is 99 percent mental, and she just didn’t have it between her ears. She explained how she struggled a lot during her childhood and faced bullying. The golf beauty sadly confessed that it was not easy to move on from all that trauma.

She had also spoken about the controversy over the way she dresses. Spiranac even gave an explanation for that as well. She narrated how her financial position did not allow her to spend a lot on a golf wardrobe. Add to that her sharp sense of fashion; she probably made some enemies because of her attire during the games.

On top of all this, there was an incident in 2016 that she might not have forgotten yet. She made it to the cover page of Golf Digest, and a journalist suggested that it was perhaps undeserving.

With all these reasons for her to continue her mute protest against the LPGA, it is unlikely that she will change her mind. However, maybe there are fans who still hope that her attention will turn to the tournament this year before it ends. Perhaps for them, she might speak up!
