Beauty, Brains, and Talent: How Paige Spiranac Became the Most Famous Golfer on the Internet
Her Athletic Background
Spiranac grew up in a family of four in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. Athleticism probably is in her DNA because she comes from a sporting family. Her father was a University of Pittsburgh collegiate football player, and his squad won the NCAA title. And her mom? She was a trained ballerina.
Her older sister Lexie, an excellent sprinter, also received a scholarship to Stanford University, continuing the trend. Coming from the same sporting background, it makes sense that Paige would also follow suit. However, she initially didn’t want to play golf and only took advantage of the chance given her circumstances.
