Golfer Paige Spiranac In Bikini Won't Apologize For 'Showing Off' Her Body

Golfer Paige Spiranac is not going to apologize for showing off her body online.

The 32-year-old golfer recently told off trolls after she was criticized for flaunting her fit figure on social media, which is something she has done for years.

On Tuesday, April 1, Paige was slammed by netizens on social media after she shared a video that featured her packing up her golf bag before hitting the green. In the video, Paige is wearing a small pair of bike shorts, which led to some criticism.

One user wrote, "Had to start that second shot with your a-- on the camera. Real classy Paige.”

Paige, seemingly tired of the criticism, shot back, "I went from having my back connect to my thighs to this. It’s not the biggest peach now but I’ve been working harder than I ever have in the gym and also with my diet. Heck yeah, I’m going to show it off! I’m proud of my body and how hard I’ve been working to achieve my fitness goals."

Some fans were quick to come to her defense in the comments. One fan commented, "Don’t bother responding to the dopes, Paige. If he doesn’t like what he sees, he should just scroll by."

Paige responded in jest, writing, "It was a great opportunity to show off my booty again." She did not reply to many other comments, which were filled with sexually charged golfing innuendos.

In February, the golf influencer spoke to the Daily Mailabout how she "grew up playing on golf courses where guys were wearing cut-off jean shorts and tank tops."

"So when I started posting in tank tops and leggings, it blew people's minds in golf," she said. "It was just the most risqué thing that anyone could be doing."

She went on to say that she "always knew it's more of a stuffy sport," but is happy that it seems to be “changing over time” as more women get into the sport.

In September 2022, Paige was forced to delete numerous hateful comments on a golfing video after it just became too much for her to take.

"Honestly, the amount of men calling me 'fat' on this post is next level lol. I've had to delete so many comments, which I almost never do," she wrote in a now-expired Instagram Story, as per People magazine.

"I know my body is a big part of my brand and that comes with a territory, but it's hard to maintain my ideal weight all the time year after year. I have to work very hard in the gym and with diet," she continued. "It doesn't come naturally to me. It can be defeating when people call out my body insecurities."

Although she wants to make content that appeals to everyone, Paige wrote, "I know I have a male-dominated audience and wanted to open up the floor to hear about your experiences with body insecurities," adding, "I don't think it's talked about enough how men are also body shamed. We all feel the pressure to look a certain way."

She previously told Sports Illustrated that she really does feel hurt when people call her the “hottest golfer on the planet” and imply that she only gets invited to tournaments based on her looks.

"It really affected me," she explained. "I was sitting in the bathroom just bawling and was like 'I don't want to go through this pain, this feel of helplessness. Being alone. Scared.' And I said I never wanted anyone to feel the way I felt in that moment. How scared I was. How helpless I felt in that I was bullied so bad to the point that I didn't want to live anymore."

"People of all walks of life are cyberbullied every single day and that's not okay," she continued. "It's time we start supporting the victims instead of telling them to delete social media or ignore the hate. It's time we made a difference, so I've dedicated a significant portion of my time to helping others."
