Hailey Ostrom and Paige Spiranac, two of the most popular golfers on social media, have been feuding publicly.
While Spiranac is the most-followed golfer with over 500,000 more followers than Tiger Woods, Ostrom is a sharp-tongued Oregon native who loves to sport low-cut golf tops.
The feud started after Spiranac described Woods as the “ultimate girl dad” following his induction into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
Ostrom disagreed with Spiranac’s statement and launched a scathing attack on Woods, citing the 2009 cheating scandal.
This resulted in Spiranac blocking Ostrom on social media.
Team Spiranac or Team Ostrom?
The dispute has divided their followers, with some taking sides and others urging the two to make peace.
Spiranac responded to Ostrom’s comment about Woods by ranting about Ostrom’s father, who had apparently criticized her business.
She also claimed that both Ostrom and her father had said negative things about her in the past, leading her to block them both.
In response, Ostrom defended herself and her father, stating that they had only disagreed with Spiranac about feminism and that Spiranac had blocked her after a private conversation in DMs.
Commentary:
Social media feuds are not uncommon, and it seems that even the fairway of golf cannot escape them.
Hailey Ostrom and Paige Spiranac have a history of public disagreements, with this latest feud revolving around their differing opinions on Tiger Woods.
While their argument may seem trivial to some, it highlights the impact social media can have on professional golfers’ public image and how quickly a dispute can spiral out of control.
Ultimately, it is up to the individuals involved to decide whether to make peace or continue their feud.
