Paige Spiranac effortlessly garners attention from the internet. The former professional golfer recently shared a video of herself swinging in a golf simulation, donning a figure-hugging powder pink bodysuit that showcased her athletic physique.
Originally posted on Instagram with the caption, “How far do you think my drive ended up going?” the clip quickly gained traction on NUCLR GOLF X’s (formerly Twitter) account, prompting them to ask followers to describe Spiranac’s swing using one word or a GIF.
“Most people forget I’m a scratch golfer,” the 30-year-old posted alongside the video, which she re-shared on Thursday. For those unfamiliar, a scratch golfer, or zero-handicap golfer, can shoot par or better on any course.
The video has now amassed approximately two million views. “What golf swing,” responded one user wrote to the aforementioned question. “That’s a pretty cool stimulator setup. I mean simulator,” quipped another.
While Spiranac’s eye-catching attire earns her admiration, she’s also faced scrutiny for flaunting her curves on the golf course.
In a recent podcast interview, Spiranac addressed the criticism she’s encountered: “When I first started doing this I wanted to be taken seriously as a professional golfer, and no matter what I did or what I posted, I’d get hate…So, I might as well wear what I want and live the life that I want to live, and I have always dressed a certain way and I think it comes from my gymnastics background of being very comfortable in almost no clothing.”
Ultimately, the consensus appears to be that Spiranac should continue being herself and doing what she loves.
