It is out in the open how the former pro golfer Paige Spiranac has become an internet sensation. She left professional golf in 2016 but did not go far from the sport. With over 11 million followers across social media channels, she was the second most influential woman in golf for 2022. However, the glamorous online life is not as sparking as it seems. Despite her immense popularity and huge online following, she has been the victim of online trolling.
But anyone who knows Spiranac well knows that the golf beauty is not a feeble personality. Despite a tough childhood, she never let the bullies decide her future and has always returned with a slamming answer.

Spiranac was getting much scrutiny for the Masters week celebratory golf towels. Instead of being sad, she stood up and posted her picture in a green jacket picture. And her caption spoke volumes. She wrote, “Here’s to continuing doing what I want.” She did not care and slammed her haters. However, another such incident was when she received a hateful comment on her post. The statement was later deleted, but it implied that the former golfer was famous because of her looks.
The comment read, “Let’s see how you’re doing in 20 yrs from now without your looks. At least Nick Faldo has experienced the game.” It was a baseless comparison. However, Spiranac did not take it lightly. She returned with the perfect answer she could have given and slammed her hater. The former LPGA pro posted her picture with her beautiful 60-year-old mother and wrote, “This is my mom in her 60s. I think I’m going to be just fine.”
