Paige Spiranac Reveals Why Less Clothing is More on the Golf Course

Paige Spiranac is well known for wearing very tight outfits to create her golf-related content. The renowned influencer has stated several times that dressing this way helps her perform better on the course.

Recently, she further supported this claim.

Spiranac used her X account, where she is followed by over a million fans, to post a photo of herself wearing a high-collar top, which is highly unusual for her. The former professional player accompanied the post with the following caption:

“If you’ve been following me for awhile you know I have this working theory that I play better when I wear less clothes.”

“Can confirm that science is right once again. I played like sh*t today.”

Spiranac didn’t reveal the course where she played her round, but her choice of attire suggests one of the most conservative venues in the country. The Augusta National Golf Club logo on her headwear could spark all sorts of speculation.

With over 4 million Instagram followers and more than 1.5 million TikTok followers, Paige Spiranac’s dress style has practically become her trademark. However, she didn’t decide on this style overnight. It evolved alongside her involvement with the sport.

“I was a competitive gymnast before I switched over to golf. And so, I was so comfortable being in leotards and when I started playing golf I didn’t have enough money to go out and buy a whole new golf-appropriate wardrobe,” Spiranac said during an interview for the Up And Adams Show.

“So I would often wear athletic wear that I just had in my closet and that was leggings and tank tops. That’s how I learned the game of golf on public golf courses where there wasn’t a strict dress code.”

Golf is a sport known for its set of unwritten rules that govern the game in its broadest sense, despite being unofficial. The dress code is part of the package and includes long pants and tucked-in collared shirts or T-shirts for men.

Women have some leeway regarding wearing skirts or shorts. However, their tops must also have collars and be generally tucked in.

Many golf facilities adopt dress codes that follow these unwritten rules. The LPGA Tour, PGA Tour, and major championships enforce this dress code, while LIV Golf and the Asian Tour are more flexible regarding shorts.

The DP World Tour, on the other hand, handles matters on a case-by-case basis. Its tournaments in Africa and the Middle East allow shorts, but others in Europe do not.
