PAIGE SPIRANAC has been labelled a ‘stripper’ and ‘porn star’ for the outfits she wears on the golf course.
The former golf pro, 28, who boasts more than three million Instagram followers, often takes to social media to pose in various outfits.
And she has now spoken out about the type of negative reaction she has received for the images she posts.
Speaking on the Stripe Show Podcast, Spiranac said: “As you can see, I don’t mind being sexy. I love my body, and it’s just a part of who I am.
“I think a lot of people were upset by that, especially in golf, because it is so conservative.
“And if you don’t even wear a collar, people are like: ‘She’s a stripper! She’s doing porn!’
“And I’m like: ‘I’m wearing a f***ing turtleneck. What are you talking about?’
“Even in junior golf, I was always getting in trouble on the AJGA [American Junior Golf Association tour] because my skirts were too short.
“It wasn’t something that I was like ‘I want to make money and this is how I’m going to do it. I’m going to over-sexualize myself.’
“I have just always kind of dressed more on the provocative side. It’s just, again, kind of like, part of who I am and I’m very comfortable with that.”
This is not the first time Spiranac has been forced to defend the way she dresses on the golf course.
Earlier this year one social media user replied to one of her photos by saying: “If you’re playing it should be on PornHub.”
To which she replied: “Wearing leggings to golf is not equivalent to doing porn.”
And last year she was labelled a ‘whore’ and threatened with death threats by baseball fans after joking that no one likes the San Diego Padres.
Speaking on her podcast, she said: “I was under the perception that no one liked the Padres.
“In my 27-years I have never met a Padres fan, then I saw a video of everyone celebrating and being so excited in San Diego.
“I retweeted the video and said ‘this is funny as no one turned up to their games when they sucked.’

“Then I had all these Padres fans… I got lit up!
“I ended up apologising and regretting it because I was getting death threats, people were like ‘come to El Cajon and I will cut you.’
“Some guy called me a washed-up porn star, he said ‘a washed-up porn star has no right talking about baseball – get back into it whore.’”
