The golf world’s glam queen, Paige Spiranac, is back with another epochal disclosure! The influencer has been pretty upfront about the behind-the-scene issues, stories, and anecdotes from the world of pro golf. After separating her business and choosing her own niche in golf, the model has been raking the headlines on and off because of her professional gigs and the content she creates, especially her podcast on Apple.
In the recent series of events, Spiranac has made a deep confession about the evident biases in the golf world—a disheartening reality that is often met with closed doors—the hypocrisy and falling short of her male counterparts.

In her podcast ‘Playing a Round With Paige,’ the former pro golfer did a brand-new Q&A and discussed the type of content she creates. The model talked about the companies she works with, the audience she caters to, and how the selection process of picking a niche functions.
While talking about how the consumers of her content are mostly men, the golfer mentioned that because of her content, many companies don’t want to work with her, which to her is amusing because “I look at my male counterparts, and I feel like they’re creating content that, at times, can be a little bit more risky than my content. But it’s different because they’re a guy.”
Furthering on this, Paige adds that she doesn’t want to make it a “gender issue” but the “hypocrisy within the golf industry” is appalling to her at times. The 30-year-old concludes by saying, “Eight years of getting kicked in the face repeatedly of companies… making a snap judgment about you and not looking at the power that I have and the amazing audience that I’ve captured, and the good that I can do.”
Paige hasn’t been shy about addressing the issue of gender bias in the golf industry. The player discussed her thoughts about the differences last year as well.
