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.

Group accused of flooding Ticketmaster with fake accounts to buy 321,000 tickets to Taylor Swift and Springsteen shows
A ticket-reselling operation used a network of fake accounts to bypass Ticketmaster's security protocols to grab hundreds of thousands of tickets to hugely popular tours for artists like Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen and then re-sold them for millions, federal regulators said Monday. The Federal Trade Commission alleges the operation used illicit software that masked IP addresses, as well as repurposed credit cards and SIM phone cards, as part of the scheme. It was run through various guises, like TotallyTix and Front Rose Tix, but was run by three key individuals, the agency said. In total, the group is accused of buying 321,286 tickets to 3,261 live performances from June 2022 to December 2023, in bunches of 15 or more tickets to each event at a total cost of approximately $46.7 million and then reselling them for $52.4 million, netting approximately $5.7 million. That includes $1.2 million from reselling tickets in 2023 for Taylor Swift's record-breaking 'The Eras Tour.' In one instance, the suspects used 49 different accounts to purchase 273 tickets for Swift's March 2023 tour stop in Las Vegas, vastly exceeding Ticketmaster's six-ticket limit, which they then sold for $120,000, the FTC alleges. Another part of the alleged scheme involved using friends, family and paid strangers to open Ticketmaster accounts. The FTC says the defendants at one point printed up flyers in places like Baltimore claiming that participants could 'make money doing verified van sign ups' in just '3 easy steps,' earning $5 for the account creation and $5 to $20 each time they received a Verified Fan presale code. Ticketmaster came in for heavy criticism after fans complained of faulty technology and eye-watering prices for 2022 sales for Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen's tours. The Verified Fan pre-sale for Swift's tour crashed its site, which it blamed on 'bot attacks' and bot fans who didn't have invite codes. It was subsequently forced to postpone the sale date for the general public seeking tickets to Swift's tour 'due to demands on ticketing systems and insufficient remaining ticket inventory.' In response, Swift alluded to broken 'trust' with Ticketmaster, though she didn't name it directly. 'It's really difficult for me to trust an outside entity with these relationships and loyalties, and excruciating for me to just watch mistakes happen with no recourse,' she wrote in an Instagram message in 2022, adding: 'I'm not going to make excuses for anyone because we asked them multiple times if they could handle this kind of demand and we were assured they could.' Springsteen said in a statement at the time that 'ticket buying has gotten very confusing, not just for the fans, but for the artists also' but that most of his tickets are 'totally affordable.' In March, President Donald Trump signed an executive order focused on curbing exploitative ticket reselling practices that raise costs for fans. On Monday, FTC Chairman Andrew N. Ferguson said Trump's order made clear "that unscrupulous middlemen who harm fans and jack up prices through anticompetitive methods will hear from us.' 'Today's action puts brokers on notice that the Trump-Vance FTC will police operations that unlawfully circumvent ticket sellers' purchase limits, ensuring that consumers have an opportunity to buy tickets at fair prices,' he said in a statement. Ticketmaster itself has remained under federal scrutiny for violating a prior agreement to curb what regulators said was anti-competitive behavior. In 2024, the Justice Department and FTC under President Joe Biden opened a lawsuit against Ticketmaster's parent company, LiveNation, that accused it of monopolizing the live events industry. It was not immediately clear whether that suit is still active, but in July, Ticketmaster and Live Nation sued the FTC to block the investigation, saying that ticket purchases on its site did not use automated software, or bots, and did not violate the 2016 Better Online Ticket Sales (BOTS) Act. Representatives for the FTC and Justice Department did not respond to a request for comment. Ticketmaster is not accused of wrongdoing in the latest suit. It did not respond to a request for comment. Strangely, in the latest complaint, the FTC includes a slide from an internal Ticketmaster presentation from 2018 that suggests the company was weighing the economic impact of imposing stricter purchasing caps that would curb bots but potentially hurt its finances. On a page labeled 'evaluating potential actions' a data table is shown under the heading 'serious negative economic impact if we move to 8 ticket limit across the board.' It also includes an email from one of the defendants in which he 'owns up' to having exceeded the ticket-purchase limit for a May 2024 Bad Bunny show in Miami and offers to have the orders canceled, to which a Ticketmaster rep simply responds that 'as long as the purchases were made using different accounts and cards, it's within the guidelines.' Efforts to reach the three defendants — Taylor Kurth, Elan Rozmaryn and Yair Rozmaryn — named in the suit announced Monday were unsuccessful. In 2018, Kurth signed a deal, or consent decree, with regulators in the state of Washington that committed him to not use software designed to circumvent companies' security policies. The FTC is seeking unspecified damages and civil penalties against the defendants.

Cambridge Dictionary adds ‘skibidi' and ‘tradwife' among 6,000 new words
LONDON — What the skibidi is happening to the English language? 'Skibidi,' pronounced SKIH-bih-dee, is one of the slang terms popularized by social media that are among more than 6,000 additions this year to the Cambridge Dictionary. 'Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the dictionary,' said Colin McIntosh, lexical program manager at Cambridge Dictionary, the world's largest online dictionary. 'Skibidi' is a gibberish term coined by the creator of an animated YouTube series and can mean 'cool' or 'bad' or be used with no real meaning as a joke. Other planned additions include 'tradwife,' a contraction of 'traditional wife' referring to a married mother who cooks, cleans and posts on social media, and 'delulu,' a shortening of the word delusional that means 'believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to.' Christian Ilbury, senior lecturer in sociolinguistics at the University of Edinburgh, said many of the new words are tied to social media platforms like TikTok because that is how most young people communicate. However, Ilbury said some of the words, including 'delulu,' have longer histories than people might think and have been used by speech communities for years. 'It's really just the increase in visibility and potential uptake amongst communities who may not have engaged with those words before,' he explained. An increase in remote working since the pandemic has created the new dictionary entry 'mouse jiggler,' a device or piece of software used to make it seem like you are working when you are not. Environmental concerns are behind the addition of 'forever chemical,' a harmful substance that remains in the environment for a long time. Cambridge Dictionary uses the Cambridge English Corpus, a database of more than 2 billion words of written and spoken English, to monitor how new words are used by different people, how often and in what contexts they are used, the company said. 'If you look at what a dictionary's function is, it's a public record of how people use language and so if people are now using words like 'skibidi' or 'delulu,' then the dictionary should take account of that,' Ilbury said. McIntosh added the dictionary has only added words it thinks have 'staying power.'
