Beauty, Brains, and Talent: How Paige Spiranac Became the Most Famous Golfer on the Internet
Controversy
The journey Spiranac undertook to become a professional golfer led to conflict within the sport’s fanbase. Many claimed that she used her attractiveness and good looks in place of talent to advance. She hasn’t, however, let the criticism stop her. Although her social media pages are flooded with stunning pictures, her life has not been as easy as we may imagine.
Questions about what she had achieved to merit such attention were frequent. And naysayers often brought up even the fact that she had never even placed in the top 300 in the NCAA rankings. However, Spiranac has persisted, keeping her head high and pursuing her dreams.
Life after College
Ultimately, her time in academia came to an end, and Spiranac transitioned to circuits more suited to professionals. The Colorado Women’s Golf Association Match Play Championship took place in July 2015, and she participated in it. She won the title after a 35-hole contest with Brittany Fan, finishing nine holes under par. She started to gain a large following on social media that same year.
Her status as a recreational golfer had been rising, but 2016 unlocked an entirely different set of opportunities for her. Spiranac finally turned pro, making it the most spectacular year of her career thus far.
