Golf Influencer Paige Spiranac Claps Back at Critics of Her Revealing, Backless Outfit at the Range

Paige Spiranac refuses to take a mulligan on her outfits on the golf course — no matter what her haters have to say. 

The influencer, 32, wore a revealing, backless ensemble to get some practice on the driving range on Thursday, April 17, which drew quite the amount of attention in her comments. 

“People are so mad about this outfit 😂,” Spiranac shared via her Instagram Story. “The funny part is I really thought it was one of my more conservative looks lol.”

Spiranac wore the outfit on a nostalgic trip to the location that holds a special place in her heart. 

“I hit my very first golf ball on this range and all these years later it’s still one of my favorite places ⛳️💚,” she wrote via Instagram. 

Despite the celebratory post, some of Spiranac’s followers didn’t appreciate the unconventional look on the range.

“Unprofessional,” one person wote. “Like always.”

Another person commented, “Lmfao what’s happened to golf etiquette & attire 😂😂😂😂.”

However, there was plenty of positive feedback on Spiranac’s post to help drown out the noise. 

“Love your beautiful body and your personality,” one supporter wrote. “Fear is not in you and it shows in your attitude. Keep showing us how to have fun!”

Another wrote, “That’s it I’m taking up golf 😂.”

Spiranac, who played college golf at the University of Arizona and San Diego State University, has amassed more than four million followers on Instagram with her golf-themed content. 

Given her notoriety, Spiranac often has to deal with negative discourse on social media — like when she was invited to play in the 2015 Dubai Ladies Masters. 

“There were constant comments, like, ‘I did sexual favors to get this invite,’ and I was listening to it — and they would say [it] within earshot of me. It was tough,” Spiranac said last month on the “Quiet Please!” podcast.

Spiranac added, “It was my first pro event. It was really difficult. I just wanted to be liked and I played so bad. It was horrendous.”

In a September 2023 interview with Sports Illustrated, Spiranac acknowledged that her choice of golf attire might not be for everybody — and she’s just fine with that. 

“I was a gymnast before I switched into golf,” Spiranac explained. “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.
