PAIGE Spiranac has opened up on copycats looking to follow in her career path.
A former professional golfer, Spiranac, 30, has gone on to forge a hugely successful career as a social media influencer, model, and media personality.
Speaking at The SI Invitational, Spiranac exclusively told The U.S. Sun that she loves seeing newcomers following her example.
“It’s unbelievably flattering that everyone sees the path that I have taken and have been really successful doing so, and they want to do the same thing,” she said.
The likes of Bri Teresi, Grace Charis, Waiyi Chan, and Karin Hart have all found fame online posting similar content to Spiranac in recent years.
For Maxim’s 2022 Sexiest Woman Alive, this marks the execution of one of her original ambitions – bringing more women into the sport.
“When I first started doing this, I was the first one and there was no path, and so I just had to figure it out,” she recalled.
“My ultimate goal with all of this was to make golf more welcoming and to have more women in the game.”
But despite the growing success of her fellow golfing influencers, Spiranac has no desire to let competitiveness creep into her mindset.
“You can see in two ways,” she explained.
“One is where it is competitive and you want to be at the top, but I try to not have that mindset and having healthier of, I want more women in the game.
“I love that they’re doing it.
And we’ve created so many jobs within the golf industry for women based off of what I’ve done and what I’ve accomplished.
“And so I see it as a positive.”
Not only does Spiranac enjoy seeing others succeed, but she too is still loving the lifestyle.
“I never thought that posting on social media would ever lead me to this position and that people would find swing videos interesting,” she admitted.
“But the fact that I’ve been able to grow a business and also to grow the game of golf has been something that has been so important to me and really great to see and quite shocking actually.”
Spiranac has amassed 3.9 million followers on Instagram where she shares a mixture of golf content, glamorous lifestyle snaps, and often risque shots.
She also has another 1.5 million TikTok followers and almost a further million on X, formerly known as Twitter.
This has led to numerous sponsorship deals, including BYLT Premium Basics, X-Golf, and LA Golf.
On YouTube, Spiranac’s 390,000 followers tune in to watch as she shares lifestyle updates and instructional videos.
Recently, she also collaborated on a few videos with professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau.
