If you haven't heard of Paige Spiranac, you're missing out. This former San Diego State University athlete has made a name for herself as an internet sensation, and it's easy to see why. With every post on her Instagram profile, Spiranac showcases a unique blend of golfing talent, glamor, and charm. Her mix of bikini pictures, golf content, and humorous captions keeps her followers entertained and engaged.
Although plenty of people have gone after Spiranac over the years, it hasn't stopped her. She doesn't care, and wonders if jealousy is to blame. “It’s been powerful to walk into a room knowing the platform I’ve built and the influence I have, and it’s not just because of my body; it’s my brain, who I am as a person, the whole package,” said Spiranac, who boasts over 3.5 million followers on Instagram.
'I come off as every guy’s fantasy'
A professional golfer turned internet sensation, Paige Spiranac recently sat down with Golf Digest for an in-depth and revealing interview. Spiranac is known for her outspoken personality and her ability to challenge societal norms. During the interview, Spiranac confidently stated that she is not doing anything illegal or harmful with her content and that if her body makes someone uncomfortable, it is not her problem.
“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,” she said.
She also discussed the fact that her biggest critics seem to be women and attributed this to jealousy. “Maybe it is because I come off as every guy’s fantasy—a girl that loves golf and wears a bikini—but I see myself as a girl’s girl. I’m coming from an authentic place…They put us in a box, and then they get mad when we get out,” the golfer-turned-internet star claimed.
Paige Spiranac: A self-assured woman
Spiranac is clearly a self-assured individual who doesn't let criticism get to her. Her attitude is that those who can't do, criticize, and she's definitely capable of doing what she loves. She's not one to shy away from ruffling a few feathers, though. According to Spiranac, her detractors just can't handle the fact that she's probably every man's fantasy. It's an audacious claim, but it definitely highlights the confidence and sass that she exudes.
It's precisely this kind of strong-mindedness that makes Spiranac stand out from the crowd. She refuses to be boxed in or defined by anyone else's standards. Even when faced with negativity, she's not afraid to give it right back. In fact, she subtly lets her critics know that their dislike is more likely fueled by jealousy rather than anything else.
