Paige Spiranac Adds New Chapter to Her “Case Study” on Golf and Attire
Golf influencer and former professional Paige Spiranac is once again shining a humorous spotlight on her unique “case study” linking her performance on the course with how much clothing she wears. Over the weekend, she playfully confirmed that her long-held theory—playing better when she wears less—was “scientifically” proven once more.
Spiranac first introduced the running experiment in August 2023 when she compared scorecards from different outfit styles. In one post from a round at Liberty Golf Course, she revealed she shot a 75 in a typical club‑appropriate ensemble—but logged a 68 when dressed more casually Her tongue‑in‑cheek commentary drew a festive wave of support, and she promised ongoing research into how attire impacts her swing and confidence.
Fast forward to this weekend: posting a snapshot of herself dressed in a button‑down shirt and black pants on X, Spiranac reignited buzz around her sartorial strategy. “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 (poop) today,” she quipped. Her lighthearted admission sparked a fresh round of amusement among followers, many referencing her past victories in more revealing outfits.
Earlier this week, she also shared insights about the mental game behind this experiment. In one of her more candid moments, Spiranac acknowledged the emotional roller coaster she endured throughout her rediscovery of golf. After struggling with form and confidence in years past, she’s now practicing consistently and enjoying the sport more than ever—regardless of wardrobe.
Critics of her theory are few, but those with tongue in cheek have suggested even less coverage—such as playing “naked”—might be the next frontier . Spiranac herself continues to blend athletic insight with playful provocations, building a persona that straddles serious golf tips and viral social media flair.
This lighter take on course attire comes alongside her more serious advocacy for golf etiquette. Recently, Spiranac also took a firm stance against golfers who neglect pitch‑mark repair on greens, arguing that failing to mend ball marks—“which takes two seconds”—should bar players from the course. She likened the neglect of course care to other everyday annoyances, expressing frustration with players who disregard basic etiquette.
Off the course, Spiranac is expanding her role within the sport: she’s joined the marketing and sponsorship team at the Grass League Par‑3 tournament and is being encouraged by fans to pursue on‑course reporting roles with the PGA Tour—though she’s made it clear she’s not vying to dethrone established commentators.
What makes Spiranac’s “case study” compelling isn’t just the optics—it’s her candid reflection on self‑worth, mental health, and the joy she’s rediscovered in golf after years of tying her performance to external validation . Whether you subscribe to her science or simply enjoy the levity, her blends of empowerment, entertainment, and etiquette continue to capture the eye of golf fans worldwide.
As she continues to test the boundaries of conventional golf attire and course conduct, one thing’s certain: Paige Spiranac’s unique mix of humor and insight is adding an unforgettable chapter to her evolving legacy.
