Remember Lucas Glover’s “swamp a**” from his 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship win? Well, most Paige Spiranac fans wouldn’t forget.
She had, back then, advocated for the PGA Tour pros to wear shorts when needed. This is, however, an example of the diva’s never-ending fight to bring about change in the sport of golf. And it appears she won’t be stopping anytime soon either. Enter the golfer with her social media update.
The 31-year-old was conducting a Q&A session with her fans when one of them asked her, “What’s the one thing that you would change about the game?” Spiranac, while replying to the query, shared a story on her Instagram handle talking about the need for “the acceptance of new ideas and diversity within the game.”
Golf, as a sport, is built on tradition, be it the format or even the attire. However, when that happens, “we tend to get stuck in our own ways,” per the golfing influencer. “When something new happens or a new idea, we tend to be very pessimistic about it.” This, according to the female athlete, is what’s “ultimately” hurting the game.
