Former professional golfer Paige Spiranac is known for her great social media presence and is often referred to as one of the biggest American media personalities. She has been a spokesperson for women in the sport of golf.
In a recent interview with Golf Week, Spiranac spoke about the struggles she had to go through to make a career for herself on the golfing circuit. She shared the mantra of her success, saying,
"Trust your gut and don't let others get to you! If you're like me and can play at a high level, then you should 100 percent take advantage of that and make a name for yourself."
Paige Spiranac said that she is at a point in life where she can challenge anybody who criticizes or trolls her, she said,
"I am at the point in my life where I can either just brush off naysayers or even challenge them and prove them wrong... which I am not afraid to do."
Spiranac, who was one of the first female viral golf content creators, shared that it was important to be unique when making a name on social media.
"There are so many talented golf creators out there, so you need to find ways to stand out. Luckily, I feel that I was ahead of the curve and early to the golf content space before many others, so I was able to establish an incredible audience and fanbase over the past few years."
Paige Spiranac is currently hosting PointsBet’s new golf show, The Approach. Speaking about her hosting journey, she said:
"Any time I get the opportunity to do what I love and talk about golf, it's a win. Now to do it with some of the best co-hosts around? It's a dream come true."
Although Spiranac never earned an LPGA card, she did have some good collegiate-level golf experience. Although the 30-year-old is past her professional golfing days, she enjoys being a golf content creator and aims to be one of the leading voices in the golf media someday.
"It's changed several times throughout my career and will probably continue to change as I grow and learn. Right now my ultimate goal is to continue to be one of the leading voices in golf media while showing the world that golf can be fun and inclusive. It's also important to me to break down the social construct surrounding women and their bodies."
