Spiranac questions the future of golf
Paige Spiranac has never shied away from anything. She has time and again openly expressed her love, respect, and gratitude for the stunning Tiger Woods. When Tiger Woods’ career took a downturn, the whole golf community lost a number of viewers. The Tour Championship in 2018 brought back hope of his return to the sport. After years filled with on-course and off-course struggles, Woods earned his fifth jacket at the Masters that year.
Ms. Spiranac had some insights to share regarding the same. In an episode of her podcast Playing a round with Paige Renee, she spoke on the resurgence of Tiger Woods in golf. “More people are now coming to tournaments and it’s picked it up again but what’s going to happen when he is done playing? Who are we going to want to watch on TV?” She was worried that only a few popular names associated with golf are carrying the sport on their shoulders, making its future bleak.
According to Paige, the only solution would be to bring in some fresh faces and talents for the sport. “It comes down to the media or the sponsors, where golf is so conservative and buttoned up,” says Paige Spiranac while calling out the entire golf fraternity. Being an insider in the golf community, she expressed the mentality inherited by the players. According to an article in the Daily Star UK, she said, “They can never be comfortable letting their hair down and being who they actually are.”
