“I just try to embrace who I am,” Spiranac explained. “My main message is to do what you want to do, wear what you want to wear.”
For her, style means opting for clothing that is more form-fitting and perhaps a bit daring, but ultimately it’s about expressing individuality.
Having played NCAA Division I golf at the University of Arizona and San Diego State University, Spiranac shared her evolution in fashion choices as her professional career unfolded. “When I turned pro, I was often compelled to wear uncomfortable outfits,” she reflected.

Switching to tank tops and leggings created quite a stir, with many deeming her style inappropriate for the sport. “I faced backlash for not adhering to traditional attire standards, with some claiming it disrespected the game,” she revealed.
Spiranac emphasized her belief that young girls should feel empowered about their bodies. “I want them to be proud of how hard they work to maintain their health,” she stated.
