Paige Spiranac Breaks Silence About Her Rumored Role in LPGA’s Harsh ‘Dress Code’ Policy for Female Pro

In 2017, the LPGA made a controversial update to its dress code for women golfers. The new rules banned racerback tank tops, plunging necklines, leggings, and workout gear sparkling a lot of debate

On top of that, skirts, shorts, and skorts now had to be long enough to avoid any wardrobe mishaps when players were bending over. Let’s not forget the added requirement for “appropriate attire” at Pro-Am parties.

A lot of the pros, and golf fans did oppose the restrictions. But one that stood out was the statement made by Paige Spiranac. She penned down an article, saying

“I respect and understand that golf is enveloped in tradition and that certain rules and regulations must be upheld. But as both an ambassador for golf and an advocate for the continued progress of women’s rights and equality in society, I fear that these new rules are stifling the growth of the women’s game.”

She also stated that none of the players had ever been dressed in a way that had cast a negative light on the Tour . Spiranac never really played for the LPGA Tour, despite that, a lot of people thought it was because of her the new rules were implemented. But what made them think so?

You see, Spiranac mostly opts to put on clothes with plunging necklines, a code that the LPGA Tour does not allow. But whenever she gets criticism, she ensures that she is vocal about it. She has always stood true to her fashion.

“Growing up I was forced to wear my mom’s golf clothes because there weren’t any other options for me. As a 13-year-old I never felt comfortable in what I was wearing, which made me feel very self-conscious and unconfident,”

She once reflected on her journey. Three years later, her stance on the dress code remains the same. Spiranac appeared in the latest episode of 105.3 The Fan Live at Radio Row in New Orleans and was asked if she was why the regulations were brought about.

Taking to this, she stated how people think that the case, but as mentioned earlier, she never really played for the Tour. Her influence, however, has mostly been a rebellious one, where she motivates women to wear whatever they like,
