Social media is no stranger to debates over what influencers should and shouldn’t post. But when it comes to golf influencer Paige Spiranac, she’s standing firm—unapologetically showing off her body while making her mark in the sport.
A “Cheeky” Display Sparks Debate
Paige Spiranac is known for blending golf content with eye-catching visuals. Her latest post, featuring a new golf bag setup, was no exception.
In the video, Spiranac turned her back to the camera, giving viewers a clear view of her physique. While many fans appreciated the update, some were quick to criticize the clip for what they saw as an unnecessary focus on her appearance.
One social media user took issue with the video, calling her out for what they believed to be an intentional display. “Had to start that second shot with your [behind] on the camera. Real classy Paige,” the person commented.
Spiranac Responds with Confidence
Spiranac wasn’t about to let the criticism slide. Instead, she doubled down, responding directly to the comment and defending her choice.
“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,” she wrote.
Her response didn’t stop there. She continued, making it clear she’s proud of the progress she’s made. “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.”
A Pattern of Defending Body Positivity
This is far from the first time Spiranac has addressed criticisms about her social media presence.
Back in 2022, she spoke out against those who claimed female athletes should avoid showing off their bodies online. “There has been a ton of discussion around female athletes and showing off their bodies. People are saying, ‘Stop oversexualizing yourself, you’re taking women back. No one’s going to take you seriously.’ And I think that is a big stinking pile of [expletive].”
Spiranac has consistently argued that confidence and professionalism are not mutually exclusive. She believes women should be able to embrace their bodies while excelling in their respective fields.
Social Media, Scrutiny, and Self-Expression
Spiranac’s experience reflects a larger debate on social media about personal expression.
- Influencers face constant scrutiny over how they present themselves online.
- Female athletes often receive disproportionate criticism compared to their male counterparts.
- The line between personal branding and “oversexualization” remains a point of contention.
Despite the ongoing discussions, Spiranac remains steadfast in her approach, continuing to share content on her own terms.
No Signs of Changing Course
While critics may continue to comment, Spiranac has made one thing clear—she isn’t changing for anyone.
Her massive following suggests that many fans appreciate her authenticity, whether it’s her golf skills, fitness journey, or confident social media presence. And as long as that support continues, so will her posts.
