Since the inception of LIV Golf, the Tour has been criticized by many. One of the most notable critics of the lucrative Tour has been Paige Spiranac. However, the influencer finally appreciated the Saudi-backed Tour for its latest announcement. Moreover, Spiranac also praised the Tour’s CEO, Greg Norman, for the new initiation.

A few days ago, Greg Norman announced that the players would be allowed to wear shorts in LIV Golf. The allowance of shorts has been a controversial topic in men’s golf for years. Though the decision itself has been received with mixed opinions, golf’s most  popular entity approved the decision. During the recent episode of her podcast, ‘Playing A Round With Paige Renee’, Paige Spiranac shared her thoughts on Greg Norman’s announcement.

Paige Spiranac said, “I love the fact that they are wearing shorts. Now that was something that Greg Norman announced, which I’ve been an advocate for the longest time and I feel that they should have been wearing shorts”. The social media influencer then talked about how the players are obliged to wear pants despite the hot weather conditions.

Spiranac said, “It just is unbelievable that they still have these guys playing and 100 plus degree weather with 90% humidity in the summer. And they’re wearing pants”. Though women professional golfers have been allowed to wear shorts for quite some period, the idea was rejected for men professionals.

Nonetheless, with LIV Golf’s latest announcement, men golfers will finally be allowed to wear shorts. Moreover, Spiranac has been an advocate of the idea for a pretty long time. This is just one of many changes made by LIV Golf in the sport of golf.
