The former college golfer-turned-influencer recently revealed that she's been experimenting with different outfits to find what works best for her game, including opting for tank tops over traditional collared shirts.
But this sparked a firestorm from critics who took offense, some going as far as accusing her of "insulting men" and disrespecting the sport. Spiranac didn't hold back in her response.
"So, what I'm gathering is that you hate boobs," she wrote on social media, via the Irish Star. "But everyone loves boobs. Boobs are great!"

Her tweet went viral, with Spiranac adding this dose of breaking news:
"There's a lot going on in the world that should bother you and offend you. Boobs ain't one of them."
This isn't the first time Spiranac has faced backlash for pushing the boundaries of golf's conservative dress codes. When the LPGA Tour imposed stricter guidelines in 2017, she was one of the most vocal critics.
She has always maintained that her style is about comfort and performance, not rebellion. Reflecting on her early days in the sport, she explained that she didn't have the luxury of purchasing a golf-specific wardrobe and simply wore workout clothes from her closet.
"That's just how I learned to play the game," she said.
Despite the ongoing controversy, Spiranac's influence stretches far beyond her wardrobe. She first gained attention during her college years, playing at the University of Arizona and San Diego State, where she racked up accolades, including First-Team All-Mountain West honors.

Though she didn't secure a professional LPGA card after competing in the 2016 Qualifying Tournament, Spiranac made a name for herself on the Cactus Tour before pivoting to social media, where her following skyrocketed.
Spiranac's reach isn't limited to golf anymore. In addition to modeling for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition and Golf Digest, she made headlines in 2022 as the first athlete to top Maxim's Hot 100 list, being named the "Sexiest Woman Alive."
