Paige Spiranac Golf Outfit

LOS ANGELES, CA — Influencer and former professional golfer Paige Spiranac is standing by her choice of golf attire, refusing to let critics sway her fashion sense on the course. On April 17, the 32-year-old social media star shared a revealing backless outfit while practicing at a driving range, sparking a mix of reactions online.

“People are so mad about this outfit 😂,” Spiranac wrote on her Instagram Story. “The funny part is I really thought it was one of my more conservative looks lol.” She donned the outfit during a nostalgic visit to the range where she hit her first golf ball, a location that holds sentimental value for her. “I hit my very first golf ball on this range and all these years later it’s still one of my favorite places ⛳️❤️,” she added in her post.

While many fans praised Spiranac’s confidence, others criticized her choice of outfit. Comments ranged from “Unprofessional, like always,” to questions about golf etiquette and attire suggestions forcing Spiranac into the spotlight for reasons beyond her swing.

Among the supporters, one follower encouraged her to keep promoting body positivity, writing, “Love your beautiful body and your personality. Fear is not in you and it shows in your attitude. Keep showing us how to have fun!” Another enthusiast remarked, “That’s it I’m taking up golf 😂.”

Spiranac’s popularity has amassed over four million followers on Instagram, fueled by her unique approach to golf content. However, she has dealt with her fair share of scrutiny. In a recent podcast appearance, the former collegiate golfer discussed the difficulties she faced during her first professional event, the 2015 Dubai Ladies Masters.

“There were constant comments, like, ‘I did sexual favors to get this invite,’ and they would say it within earshot of me. It was tough,” Spiranac recounted. “It was my first pro event. I just wanted to be liked and I played so bad. It was horrendous.”

The backlash she receives for her sartorial choices, however, is nothing new. In a September 2023 interview, Spiranac reflected on her style evolution from gymnastics to golf, explaining that financial constraints initially shaped her wardrobe. “I was a gymnast before I switched into golf,” she said. “I was so comfortable wearing spandex and very little of it because that’s just what you wear when you’re wearing a leotard.”

As the golf world evolves, Spiranac remains unphased by traditional conventions. “That was always my mindset when I got into golf, and it really rubs people the wrong way which is shocking,” she said. “But I love it.”
