Paige Spiranac has come a long way since she first began playing golf. The ex-pro golfer now commands a bigger online fan base than any other golfer in the world. She has gone on to become a social media icon, and her regular golf updates and views are eagerly awaited by the fans. Hence, one day, when Spiranac had nothing to say after a major in women’s golf, fans were astounded.
I find it interesting that not once did @PaigeSpiranac mention anything about the women's US open this weekend at The Legendary Olympic club!! 🤔🤔

Paige Spiranac reveals the cause of her silence about the major
Back in 2021, one fan realized that Spiranac had once tweeted about the Women’s US Open, which had since ended. He tweeted that he found it “interesting” that Paige had not once mentioned “anything about the women’s US Open.”
Maxim 2022’s Sexist Woman Alive replied to the fan and wrote, “A lot of the girls on tour said they don’t want me talking about them or their tournaments.” She added that they said it was because she was “a bad representation of women’s golf.”

The influencer was deeply hurt. She always stood up for all women, and for them to lash out at her was heartbreaking. Spiranac, in turn, abided by their wishes. She lashed out at them by letting the world know of her silence. Unfortunately, that wasn’t Paige’s only time dealing with hate.
Spiranac breaks down because of the hateful comments
After turning pro and playing on the Ladies European Tour in 2015, Spiranac found out soon that professional golf wasn’t for her. She left soon after, and is now an online sensation. But the golf community hasn’t been kind to the ex-pro golfer.

The blonde beauty has dealt with hate and abuse ever since she started her first YouTube channel online. She once sobbed during a pre-tournament press conference in Dubai in 2016 while discussing the abuse she’d endured. She said, “The comments that people say, they’re extremely cruel.”
Spiranac further added that it was not a one-time thing. She stated, “I still deal with it every day.” Tearful, the golfer said that the threats and hate she received had gone too far. The golf influencer is certainly tired of being mistreated.
