Being an influencer means putting your life out to the public to scrutinize. While that comes with a lot of perks, it has its side effects too. And no one knows that better than Paige Spiranac. There is a certain group of people on the internet who are always there to bring her down. Take the 2024 Creator Classic that took place in August, for instance. She finished with a 2-over score, which was pretty satisfying for her, given that she has been away from competitive play for a long time. But that didn’t matter to the fans.
Nonetheless, she rose above it and began a new venture. A few days ago, Paige Spiranac announced the launch of her golf event, called the ‘E11EVEN Golf Classic,’ and, well, everyone is hyped up for it. The tournament began just a few hours ago, on December 5, at the Normandy Shores Golf Club in Miami. Organized by the eponymous nightclub, it is an invitation-only celebrity tournament.
Spiranac, of course, is present, and posted stories promoting her event. She posted a video of her hitting the ball, as she took a jab at the people who always tried to bring her down. She wrote, “You can say a lot about me, but you can’t say I’m bad at golf.”

Well, time and again, the golf community has always made sure to tell her how great she is. For instance, on October 17, 2024, the PGA Tour Champions shared a video comparing Paige Spiranac’s swing to that of Stephen Ames. The post, which garnered 37,000 views in just two hours, showcased their swings side by side. The caption highlighted Spiranac’s impressive technique, with fans and golf professionals alike praising her skills.
This endorsement from the Senior Tour further solidified Spiranac’s growing influence in the golf world, despite the criticism she often faces. And as it turns out, her fans completely agree with her. At least most of them!
The golf world goes berserk about Paige Spiranac’s improvement over the years
Paige Spiranac turned professional in 2015 and competed on various tours, including the Cactus Tour, where she had solid performances. She became known for her long game and powerful drives, occasionally mixing in a draw or fade to control the ball. Over time, Spiranac refined her swing mechanics, but she also became a more polished competitor on and off the course. Although she never secured a major professional victory, her consistency and skill set continued to improve, and she has showcased aspects of her game through social media and YouTube tutorials. Taking to this, one of them commented, “She’s growing more than a draw/fade .. clearly ❤️”.

Spiranac’s rise to prominence is largely thanks to her influence on social media. She has grown an enormous following, where she shares tips, tutorials, and personal content. Her following has significantly expanded her brand beyond golf. In 2021, she was ranked as one of the most influential golfers on social media and became a prominent figure in golf culture. Well, this truly deserves praise, because despite being off the course, she has always made sure to stay in touch with the game. Taking to this, people complimented her swing, writing comments like, “Beautiful golf swing, paigeonthecourse” and “Elite swing.”.
The Golf Queen, moreover, is not just a golf enthusiast but also a diva. But, well, there is a problem. Her fashion choices have always been very bold, as a result of which she often receives more criticism. People ask her to focus on her golf game and winning a trophy instead of focusing on fashion. She recently started a new series called The 25 Days of Holiday Outfits, where she posted pictures of her bikini shoot. And well, that again brought her a lot of criticism. But her fans rescued her.
Focusing on her exceptional golf swing instead of adding to the controversy, they left comments like, “Anybody that says anything bad about you is just jealous” and “Nope—really good at golf and extremely beautiful” on her post. And well, we can’t really disagree!
