Fans of Paige Spiranac shouldn’t get their hopes up for a big reveal.
The golf influencer sensation has shot down a long-circulating rumour that she would pose topless if Rickie Fowler finally wins a major championship.
Spiranac, who boasts more than 5 million followers across her social media accounts, addressed the rumour when it came up during a Q&A session with her fans on Friday.
The blonde bombshell said that the whole thing stemmed from a tweet made by an imposter account several years ago.
“So, every single year, this fake tweet pops up all the time and I get asked if it’s real or not,” Spiranac said during the stream on her Instagram Stories.
“This is from like four or five years ago. Someone created a fake tweet that said, ‘I will show the girls if Rickie Fowler wins a major.’ Every single year, this fake tweet pops up, and I get asked if it’s real or not. It is fake. The girls are real. The tweet is fake.
“It will never die. Every year, I think, ‘Finally, it won’t pop up,’ and then it does. It’s insane.”
Of course, even if the tweet had been real, the odds of it coming true are a longshot at best.
Since turning pro in 2009, the long-suffering Fowler has yet to break through and win a major tournament despite finishing in the top three at all four of golf’s biggest events. In 2014 alone, the colourful golfer tied for third at the PGA Championship and tied for second at the U.S. Open and the British Open.
While Spiranac regularly dishes out golf tips on her social media accounts, she is best known for her racy content. She hasn’t been shy about standing up for herself against those critical of her for embracing her sexuality, either.
Last year, the former collegiate golf star fired back at critics for the double-standard and selective support of women.
Spiranac reposted a tweet about Sabrina Carpenter from September which complimented the pop singer for embracing her sexuality while reaching a mainly female audience.
“Sabrina Carpenter is genius for how she embraces her sexuality but still keeps women as her target audience,” read the tweet by another X user named Paige.
“Like how is she performing in lingerie and I still feel like it’s not for men at all? I can’t comprehend it, but I love it.”
Spiranac, who aims more for a male audience with her social-media content, replied: “I dislike how women pick and choose when it’s okay to support other women for embracing their sexuality depending on if it appears to be for the female or male gaze.
“Women should be able to embrace their sexuality if that’s what makes them feel empowered,” she continued. “One shouldn’t be called a genius while the other is called an attention whore for doing the same exact thing.”
In response to a complimentary reply to the post, Spiranac added that her statement was about more than just her own experience.
“This isn’t really even about me. It’s a constant theme I keep seeing with other women too,” she wrote.
