Golf influencer Paige Spiranac has been open about her endeavors into the professional side of the sport and in choosing to take a different route to reach the levels to where she is today.
Spiranac is one of the most-followed influencers of any sport – boasting more than 4 million followers on Instagram, more than 1.5 million on TikTok and another 1 million on X.
On Sunday, she got candid about her pursuits in the sport in a post on X.
“I played junior golf, college golf and a year professionally. After that stretch I mentally couldn’t handle playing golf and especially keeping score,” she wrote. “I equated my score to my self worth. I know it sounds silly but competitive golf really beat me up emotionally.
“But I’ve found that passion again! I’ve started tracking my scores and grinding on my game. I’ll keep you posted here on my journey!”
She added that she shot a 73 at Austin Country Club.
Spiranac opened up last year to her Instagram followers on trying to get an LPGA Tour card.
