Tiger Woods’ tampon controversy became the center of a media storm that enveloped the golf community. Several former stars and personalities expressed their opinion, but a majority of women groups criticized the legendary golfer for his actions. But arguably golf’s most popular woman entity, Paige Spiranac, seemed fine with it, even joking about the issue in its aftermath. She also conversed on the matter at the ‘Fore The People’ podcast recently, where she predicted packets of tampons being thrown at the players.
The repercussions of the ‘tampon-gate’ controversy
The golf beauty made her debut appearance on the popular podcast, where she delved into the ‘tampon-gate’ controversy. The 29-year-old defended her early support of Woods’ actions when she tweeted light-hearted jokes about the latter’s actions.

But how would it affect the golf folklore in the coming months? Spiranac predicted that fans would be keen on jumping on the bandwagon, carrying dozens of tampon packets on the course and making golfers pay for poor shots.
The issue could be a cause of concern in raucous crowds, like the 16th hole at the WM Phoenix Open. In a hole where fans are encouraged to be as loud as possible, there is a possibility of a sea of tampon packets hurled on the course.
What will be Paige Spiranac’s reprisal at such an event?
The social media star was asked whether she’d retaliate in such an incident, which she admitted to. But her firearm wouldn’t be tampons. Instead, after careful consideration, she answered it would be her popular golf towels.

“I’d do this, golf towels. I’d like to throw my golf towels into the crowd. You already know that people are going to be throwing tampons,” she said, before highlighting why tampons would already be out of fashion.
“You already know what’s going to happen? People are gonna come just come clearly stocked up with tampons and anytime someone misses the green or does something, they’re gonna start throwing tampons at players. Okay, that’s what’s gonna happen next year,” she predicted.
