Paige Spiranac knows her golf outfits aren't for everyone.
The popular golf influencer and content creator, who has more than four million followers on social media, is constantly trending for what she decides to wear on the course. It's often fairly revealing.
But Spiranac, a former gymnast turned golfer, is just wearing what she feels is most comfortable out on the course.
"I was a gymnast before I switched into golf," Spiranac told Sports Illustrated. "I was so comfortable wearing spandex and very little of it because that's just what you wear when you're wearing a leotard and you're competing. When I switched into golf, we were struggling a little bit financially and so I didn't have the luxury to go out and buy a whole new golf-appropriate wardrobe. So, I wore what was in my closet, which was workout clothes. That's just how I learned to play the game.
She added, "That was always my mindset when I got into golf, and it really rubs people the wrong way which is shocking. They'll have really intense discussions over if they should wear shorts or pants or a blade collar or a real collar and I'm just out here just in tank tops or spandex and people are like 'What are you doing?' But I love it.

Golf influencer Paige Spiranac doubled down on her criticism of the concept of gatekeeping in golf, pointing out that bad manners and the lack of speed appear both at elite clubs and in public courses and are demonstrated by both experienced players and newbies.
The remarks came one day after Spiranac encouraged the golf community to accept new players and get rid of gatekeeping attitudes regarding the sport.
“A couple things here after reading the responses,” Spiranac stated in her latest tweet to the previous comments. “I’ve been lucky enough to play at some of the nicest courses and I also still play (and pay for rounds) at munis. Debauchery and poor pace of play happens at both from new golfers to old.”
Moreover, the influencer related the on-course behavior to cultural changes.
“I think people in general are less kind and considerate and that is also showing up on the golf course,” she said.

Paige Spiranac criticized what she termed gatekeeping in golf, where the game was being discouraged from growing and there were belittling attitudes towards newbies.
In her tweet, Spiranac argued that one who truly loves golf should embrace the development of the sport through education and community, but not exclusivity and arrogance.
“I love golf. I want everyone to play, and I’m excited about all the new people getting into the game,” Spiranac wrote. “I feel that should be the attitude everyone should have if you truly love the game.”
She also expressed displeasure at the criticism of the sport’s new generation of fans.
“I’m so tired of hearing ‘shrink’ and hating on this new culture of golf fans,” she wrote. “This condescending and belittling behavior of new golfers is gross to me. You’re not better than someone else or morally superior because you’ve played longer.”

Social media influencer and professional golfer Paige Spiranac has become the focus of internet wrath over complaining about people using FaceTime in public on speakerphone at maximum volume.
On her page on X, she noted that having FaceTime conversations "at max volume in public deserves jail time."
The message found a lot of support among internet users, who showed their agreement with the complaint by liking and commenting under the post, suggesting different kinds of punishment for those using speakerphones. These punishments included hard work and even taking away people's devices.
Several users shared their frustration with people talking loudly on their phones in public places. One of them mentioned that oversharing private conversations in public was a symptom of "main character syndrome" and added that "it's boggling" how excited some people get about telling everyone around everything about themselves.
One more user joked that there should be jail cells for loud FaceTime speakers right next to jail cells for people playing music in public without earphones.
