The blonde beauty saw her popularity take a rise in the past couple of years as her career as an influencer in the game of golf gave her the tag of the most influential golfer. However, her glamorous side also saw success as she was titled the Sexiest Woman of 2022 by Maxim. However, everything wasn’t sunshine for the 30-year-old during the growth.
In her podcast, Playing a Round with Paige, the ex-pro golfer mentioned how “things started to shift slightly” by 2022 after she received the title. People started to ask for pictures even when she came in sweats and no makeup. The influencer conveyed her happiness with the recognition she received as the glam queen said, “It happens quite a bit, which is exciting, because that’s a sign of growth in my career,” all the while indicating how she does not want to get rid of the same.
However, although very little, the ravishing American has had to deal with “bad encounters”. Such situations led the diva to “amp up security” in a bid to take care of the safety issues. Continuing on the same, the golfing queen expressed how being surrounded by guards while trying to deal with unfavorable instances is “probably the hardest part about” gaining fame.
Well, it doesn’t come as a surprise to see a social media star encountering such a price for her fame. Similar circumstances occurred with her idol, Woods, who suffered consequences from the media for his one error!
