Despite edging towards 68, LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman maintains an outstanding physique. Indeed, his chiselled body makes the news whenever he decides to flaunt his topless outfit. His 2020 post on the beach while walking his dog made similar headlines. However, the visibility of the contours of his manhood beneath the folds of his shorts raised eyebrows. Among others, social media influencer Paige Spiranac had something to say about the racy image.

However, Spiranac received a lot of backlash for her comment on Norman’s post. But she didn’t hesitate to clap back at the hate comments.

The photo in question showed Norman, a former major championship winner, shirtless and sporting a muscular physique. Upon realizing the embarrassing peculiarity of the picture, Spiranac had left a comment complimenting his physique.

However, some internet users took issue with Spiranac’s comment and accused her of objectifying Norman. Spiranac had made a joke on Norman’s nickname ‘the Shark’ to poke fun at the visible contours of his manhood. However, some users took offense to the statement.

In response to the backlash, Spiranac posted another tweet defending her actions and spoke out against the double standards with which men and women are treated online. The comment in question called out Paige’s ‘hypocrisy’ in commenting about a man’s body, when she herself detests random comments about her own body.
