Recently, Spiranac went viral on social media again for her "case study." She wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, that she shot better when she was wearing a tank top rather than a collared shirt. 

Spiranac explained her attire choices in an interview with Sports Illustrated.

"I was a gymnast before I switched into golf," the former All-Mountain West Conference golfer said. "I was so comfortable wearing spandex and very little of it because that's just what you wear when you're wearing a leotard and you're competing. When I switched into golf, we were struggling a little bit financially and so I didn't have the luxury to go out and buy a whole new golf-appropriate wardrobe. And so, I wore what was in my closet which was workout clothes. That's just how I learned to play the game.
