She branded the prohibition of shorts during play as "the dumbest rule" and has called on the bigwigs to contemporize golf's somewhat stodgy image. This sentiment is something Brooks Koepka, who now relishes the more relaxed LIV Golf environment, has also entirely backed.
Speaking to Scratch's YouTube channel, alongside hosts Wells Adams and Chad Mumm, Spiranac highlighted how urgent it is for the sport to adapt, particularly with the sweltering conditions players often face—a sentiment even Tiger Woods agrees with.

"I think that is like the dumbest rule, like they are playing in like 90-plus degree weather with 100% humidity."
She continued, arguing a more flexible dress code could welcome a wider demographic into the fold of golf fans. Spiranac's commentary came fresh off the 2023 PGA Tour's FedEx St. Jude Championship, which saw golfers grappling with intense heat. Lucas Glover, the event's victor, frequently resorted to plunging his hands into ice coolers just to lower his body temperature.
Spiranac spotlighted these extreme measures, noting, "The guys were absolutely dying. They were even sticking their hands in the ice coolers to bring their body temperature down."

While the PGA Tour sticks to its classic dress code, LIV Golf has shifted gears, allowing players to don shorts during tourneys when the mercury hits 90 degrees Fahrenheit or above. This change came into effect after the Hong Kong event, with the new norm debuting in Singapore.
Spiranac weighed in, pushing for a modern twist on golf fashion: "I think allowing the players to show more of their personality and expressing themselves through their fashion and style will bring more people into the game," she stated.

"You're saying that in the air conditioning on your nice, cool couch, drinking an ice-cold beer. Of course, you don't mind. But these guys are athletes playing in extreme conditions. Let them wear shorts," fired back Spiranac.
Her stance has won applause from both golfing aficionados and pros. Backing her up, golf pundit Daniel Rapaport chimed in during 2020 with, "The top tours in the world still require their players to wear pants during competition. This, of course, is silly."
