On Women’s Golf Day, she wrote on Instagram: “When I fell in love with the game at age 14, I was often the only girl at the course, always wishing I had other girls to play with.

“In the past couple of years, I’ve seen so many women take up the game and my circle of golf sisters has grown to include some of my closest friends.”

Meanwhile, Spiranac weighed in on Tiger Woods reportedly rejecting a $700-to-$800-million-offer from LIV Golf.

“That is ‘F-you’ money, that is ‘buy an island money’ and Tiger was like, you know what, no thank you,” Spiranac said in a video posted to Twitter.

“Maybe it’s because he already has so much money that he doesn’t know what to do with. Maybe he wants to protect his legacy with a limited schedule since his body can’t play that much. Maybe he wants to be a Ryder Cup captain,” she said.

“But Tiger, he said no.”
