Golf star Paige Spiranac channeled “Seinfeld” after taking heat for her stance against the Saudi-back golf tour that threatens to undermine the PGA.
The bombshell linkster told the “Bunkered” podcast she would never join the LIV Golf tour, which has lured American superstars including Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, and Dustin Johnson with huge signing bonuses and big prize money. That prompted Larry Klayman, a Washington attorney, to tweet that no one cares what she thinks.
“A Boob Job Does Not Make You a Wise Sage!” Klayman wrote.
To which Spiranac replied: “They’re real and they’re spectacular.”

That line was famously uttered by actress Teri Hatcher on an episode of “Seinfeld”in which Elaine insists Jerry’s girlfriend has breast implants.

Spiranac, a fan favorite for her pinup looks as much as her swing, told the podcast no amount of money would persuade her to play for the Kingdom’s new venture.
“I wouldn’t do it,” she said. “A lot of people like, ‘Bulls***, you would do it for a certain amount of money.’ But I think about things and my career and, like, I wouldn’t sign up for OnlyFans because, morally, it just doesn’t align with what I’m doing.”

The LIV Golf Invitational Series takes its name from the Roman numeral for 54, which is the number of holes golfers will pay in each three-round tournament. It is backed by Saudi Arabia and fronted by Australian golf legend Greg Norman.
The tour reportedly paid Johnson $120 million to join and Mickelson as much as $200 million. But others have refused, according to reports. Golf legend Jack Nicklaus turned down $100 million to be the face of the tour and Tiger Woods reportedly refused nearly $1 billion to play.
The PGA has effectively banned defectors from its tournaments.
“We have followed the Tournament Regulations from start to finish in responding to those players who have decided to turn their backs on the PGA Tour by willfully violating a regulation,” the PGA said in a statement. “The players are being notified that they are suspended or otherwise no longer eligible to participate in PGA Tour tournament play, including the Presidents Cup. This also applies to all tours sanctioned by the PGA Tour: the Korn Ferry Tour, PGA tour Champions, PGA Tour Canada and PGA Tour Latinoamerica.”
