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.

 

 

The two are more than just training partners

ELLE BROOKE has found a best friend and mentor in Ebanie Bridges – but the pair are no longer joined at the hip.

Brooke first met the former bantamweight world champion at trainer Mark Tibbs’ Essex boxing gym.

And Bridges would go onto corner the social media star while helping her in training and sparring.

The two have even shot racy content together on OnlyFans but Bridges has now switched to Dave Coldwell’s gym in Rotherham.

Brooke, 26, told SunSport: “She’s still my mentor, 100 per cent.

“I don’t see her as much, obviously she was training for her fight and she’s up North now so we’re separated.

“If she was round the corner we’d see each other all the time but we’re still such good friends, we’re like sisters.

“She’s less involved with the boxing now but she’s always there for me mentally and she’s honestly the biggest and the best hype woman in the world. I can always go to her for advice.”

Brooke bravely opened up on how a party lifestyle drove her to drugs and depression – before boxing helped turn her life around.

The sport also introduced her to soul sister Bridges and the rest of Tibbs’ stable.

She said: “If it wasn’t for boxing I would’ve never have met her.

“I would never have moved to Essex, I would never have met Ebanie, never have met some of the boys in the gym.

“And because I don’t go out on the weekends, they’re the ones I rely one for company a lot of the time. My life revolves around boxing now.”

Brooke makes her return in Leeds on Misfits 12 against ex-Love Islander AJ Bunker, who she beat in 2022.

The bad blood has since brewed so bragging rights will also be on the line as well as Bunker’s Misfits belt.

Brooke said: “We know of each other now. When we first fought it was just someone else in the influencer scene to take on that fight.

“Whereas now she’s champ, I’ve already beat her and it’s her opportunity for redemption, my opportunity to win the belt and that’s the story.

“We also aren’t that fond of each other, so it’s got great ingredients for a good fight.”
