Golf influencer Paige Spiranac has built one of the largest followings in the sport with 3.7 million followers on Instagram, 1.5 million on TikTok and another 879,000 on Twitter.

Spiranac has used her sex appeal along with her passion for the game to move the needle for herself and other brands and businesses she works with – all while receiving some hateful comments from the deepest bowels of the internet.

In a lengthy profile in Golf Digest, Spiranac talked about how her career was kickstarted and the judgment she receives constantly from others. She recalled an instance when she was sitting on a plane and saw another woman leave hateful comments on a handful of social media posts and when she was finished, went to making Valentine’s Day cards for her grandchildren.

Spiranac told the magazine the woman who made the comments did not think about it too much and put it all into perspective. She said the negative reactions she gets about the way she has built her brand fails to consider people like Jessica Alba and Tyra Banks, who have gone about their businesses similarly.

“What I produce is not that provocative. If my body makes someone uncomfortable, that’s not my problem. I’m not doing anything illegal. I’m not causing harm,” Spiranac told Golf Digest.
