Paige Spiranac needs no introduction to the golf world! The retired professional golfer turned social media sensation has made a name for herself by bringing glamor to the greens. She is known for the unique content she posts online, with the latest example being her caddying for Bryson DeChambeau.

However, her experience online is not all roses. She has become the target of online hate multiple times, but always handled them like a pro! Yet there is one segment of her online experience that she would like to move on from.

A troubling element of Paige Spiranac’s online fame

The golf diva recently sat down with Fore Play Golf to talk about her online fame. The 30-year-old is making her way to the top, even surpassing Tiger Woods in follower count! But with all this fame there have been moments that troubled her.

When asked about what was the most negative interactions she had, the golf diva had her answers ready. “I would say it’s the weirdest and hardest thing that does happen in person is that I have I don’t know what it is – I have so many fake accounts of me!” Spiranac revealed.

She went on to reveal how these fake accounts have used her name to extort people online. “They start like these, you know, fake relationships with these men online to try to get money,” she said. Furthermore, she has to report several accounts every single day for using her likeness. And this unfortunate thing has been happening since last year.

The problem is not a new one for the golf diva

The issue of fake profiles has become a major issue and she tried raising awareness about it last year. Back in February 2023, Paige Spiranac stated in her podcast Playing a Round, that she reports almost 20 fake accounts every day.

She added, “If it is not coming from my verified account. It’s not me. And if it’s someone who has bad sentence structure, bad grammar can’t seem to really put a sentence together, not me.” Furthermore, she warned her fans that these fake accounts would come forward with fake driver’s licenses and fake checks on her name. But they can be easily debunked as they use bad-quality Photoshop.

She insisted that people only believe what comes from her verified accounts and not accounts using her likeness. This whole incident of dealing with fake profiles has made her online experience a harrowing one. What are your thoughts on this unfortunate situation? Let us know in the comments section below.
