Paige Spiranac champions Hooters amid bankruptcy rumors

Golf influencer Paige Spiranac is coming to the defense of a popular restaurant chain after it popped into headlines this week. Yes, we're talking about Hooters.

Rumors surfaced that Hooters is preparing to file Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the coming months because of an increased financial strain caused by declining foot traffic in its restaurants.

Spiranac, who has consistently come to the defense of Hooters and previously jokingly referred to it as her "backup plan," once again chimed in with a clever response.

Paige boasts more than 4 million followers on Instagram and over one million on X, so we'll have to see if her followers rally behind her new campaign. At the very least, mobilizing five million people to get foot traffic into the approximately 300 locations nationwide should make some noise.
