Former professional golfer Paige Spiranac has called out what she perceives as the ‘dumbest’ sports rules globally.
Taking to Twitter on Monday, the ‘world’s sexiest woman’, 29, outlined to her 646,000 plus followers in a video a number of rules she would love to see thrown out across multiple sports.
At the top of her rant list was golf, in particular the handicap scoring system which she ‘despises’ because it ‘diminishes the value’ of the PGA Tour Championship.
Next in Spiranac’s firing line was overtime in NFL, before she vented her frustration at the offside rule in football and hockey.
The YouTube sensation, who played Division 1 college golf at the University of Arizona and San Diego State University in the US before turning pro in 2016, also feels coaches of top tennis players should sit courtside rather than in the stands.

Her clip cheekily ended with Spiranac asking whether steroids should be legal in baseball.
As expected, a number of Spiranac’s followers responded to her Twitter question.
‘Offsides in hockey and soccer is ok. One rule I would change in the NFL is defensive pass interference being a spot foul. College football has it right. 15 yards no matter what,’ one wrote.
Another suggested getting rid of the infield-fly rule in baseball, before offering a suggestion for the NBA.
‘It (infield-fly rule) protects bad hitters…and the charge/blocking call in NBA also needs addressing,’ he said.
A third offered a slight adjustment to the rules for mixed martial arts.

In June, Paige Spiranac was named Maxim magazine’s hottest woman in the world in their famous Hot 100 list
‘In competitive professional fighting like the UFC, there should be two warnings for illegal activities like groin shots or strikes to the back of the head, kicks to the groin…and then a point taken away on the third offence.’
Earlier this month, Spiranac stunned her fans on social media after uploading an image of her equally striking mother, Annette.
It followed a troll on social media suggesting her looks will fade one day.

She also weighed in on golf’s most controversial issue – players taking huge amounts of money to join the Saudi-backed LIV rebel competition, headed by Australian sporting legend Greg Norman.
‘I wouldn’t do it,’ she told the Bunkered podcast when she was asked if she’d throw her lot in with the breakaway tour.
‘A lot of people are like, ‘Bulls**t, 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.
‘I could sign up today and probably make millions and millions of dollars but, for me, it’s not about the money.’
