The ex-golfer has always been vigilant about everything wrong that happens in the world of golf and speaking against the persistent misogyny in the sport. She recently pointed out how the Women’s US Open was receiving no media coverage because the people were more interested in watching the LIV vs PGA controversy. However, it didn’t leave any effect on the officials and they continued to discuss the controversy over everything else.

The weird reason why Spiranac couldn’t help a charity

Spiranac said that there was a time when she wanted to help out a charity for a great noble cause. She wanted to give away free golf clubs to help the members of an organization get access to better equipment. Unfortunately, she was not allowed to donate. The officials of the organization said“We would love to but, because of the way our board members view you, you can’t help out”. It is sad to see that society is not ready to view Spiranac for the person she is. While the social media star is still rising to fame with everything she is posting on the Internet.
