“I Was Shocked”: Paige Spiranac Opens Up on Cheating Accusations That Rocked Last Year’s Internet Invitational

Paige Spiranac recently revisited the controversy surrounding last year's Internet Invitational, where she faced widespread accusations of cheating during an alternate-shot match. The incident occurred on the ninth hole when she was observed near the fescue, leading observers to question if she had improperly manipulated the grass around her partner's ball.

Spiranac maintains that her actions were unintentional and performed openly in front of cameras and teammates, despite the intense backlash that followed.

The fallout from the event included significant harassment directed at Spiranac, who reported receiving thousands of hostile messages and death threats. She noted that the situation became severe enough to warrant discussions regarding legal protections.

While she previously expressed embarrassment over her lack of familiarity with the specific rule in question, she continues to deny any deliberate attempt to violate the regulations of the game.
