- Paige Spiranac, professional golfer turned social media influencer, defended Woods, on Thursday tweeting, “If anyone tries to cancel Tiger over this we riot. It’s funny.”
- Woods has faced such criticism before, specially related to revelations in 2009 that he repeatedly cheated on then-wife, Elin Nordegren.
- Spirinac has also faced criticism from feminist and others for her self-promotion in their view sexualizing women’s golf.
- “It’s interesting to see women outraged by Tiger slipping JT a tampon after out driving him but those same women will quickly tear me down for how I’ve decided to build my business,” she tweeted Friday. “You can’t pick and choose when to be a feminist.”
