Paige Spiranac weighed in on the tension that currently exists between Rory McIlroy and the golf media during the playing of the 2025 U.S. Open.

Golf influencer Paige Spiranac came to the defense of 2025 Masters champion Rory McIlroy over his strife with the media. He's struggled during the U.S. Open.

I feel like I've earned the right to do whatever I want to do,” McIlroy said after the third round of the U.S. Open

Rory McIlroy won The Masters and has been performing poorly in the majors since, especially at the US Open. He knows that has to change.
