Paige started using Instagram just to document her game at the San Diego State. And in just a blink everything changed. A guy wrote an article about her on Totalfratmove.com confessing his love and admiration for her. The next thing she knew, her Instagram followers shot up to 260000, making her a social media sensation.
Paige had never thought of becoming an influencer or a model; she always wanted to be an athlete. She had never been fond of shopping and preferred sweating on the field. From the age of 6 to 11, she had been a gymnast and always wanted to play in the Olympics. But as she grew, her interest switched to golf. But one thing that she was certain about was that she was going to be a sportsperson.
Her brief journey in golf has been nothing short of a roller coaster ride. According to an article by golf digest, in an interview with Ron Kaspriske, Paige said, “I’ve been flagged once or twice for wearing something a little too revealing to play golf. Tank tops, mostly. If you look at what people typically wear when they play, OK, my clothes could be considered provocative. But I’m not wearing them for a reaction.”
She has always been vocal about the backlash that she has received for the way she dresses on and off the course. ” I’m just comfortable in fitness clothing. Golf is a sport, so dress like an athlete. Name another sport where people wear khakis and cotton polos?” said Paige during the interview.
