Is Paige Spiranac the new face of women's golf, or is she just a social media sensation?

Slow-motion videos! Make it that of the golf queen and the internet will go nuts. Well, that’s exactly what the whole Paige Spiranac fandom was buzzing about a few days ago. But now it appears all that drama is close to being overshadowed. And it’s being done by none other than the diva herself. Interestingly, the 31-year-old golfing influencer has managed to become part of a certain panel discussion.

The athlete shared a story on her Instagram handle while resharing a post that Fanatics, the global digital sports platform, made. The sports apparel and fan gear store is apparently hosting a panel discussion on ‘The Ahtletes and Icon: Women Transforming Sports Through Media’ at Fanatics Fest NYC, of which Spiranac is a part.

“So excited to be on this panel with so many amazing women!” exclaimed the model on her social media handle before urging her followers to come see her and the other personalities. Meanwhile, the sports platform shared the series of posts while pointing out how “Everyone on this panel is changing what it means to be in sports media.”

The Fanatics Fest NYC will take place at the Javits Center in New York City from August 16–18. Aside from the discussion, the fans will also be able to listen to legendary athletes including Barry Sanders and Kevin Durant, among others, at the star-studded event. The fest will also include a ‘Collector Zone’ for the ardent fan, including exclusive products and announcements.

Being part of the panel discussion at an event dubbed “The Ultimate Sports Festival for Fans and Collectors of All Ages,” is nothing short of impressive. Moreover, being selected for the same appears to be another accolade that marks the rise Paige Spiranac has had over the years and her rising influence in the sport, something that started as much as 9 years ago!

Is Paige Spiranac the new face of women's golf, or is she just a social media sensation?

Have an interesting take?

“Found this video the other day,” exclaimed Spiranac as she shared a tweet on her X handle showcasing the golfer swinging the ball with her clubs in slow motion. The 31-year-old also disclosed, “1. I’ve been doing slow-motion swings since 2015 and 2. My swing is so much better now lol.” The update, meanwhile, came just a few days after she shared her slow-motion videos a while back. Yes, the exact videos that raked in quite a bit of attention.

A while back, the golfing influencer shared a slow-motion video while dishing out advice to her followers. The tip advised the community on how to golf while having a large chest. “My tip is under on the right arm and over the chest on the left at set up,” said Spiranac, “Also stand a little farther away from the ball.” She never backed down, even when some people came forward with hate against the athlete. And it is this exact mindset that has helped her achieve so much in the sporting realm.
