‘The Injustice That We Face Every Day as Women’: Paige Spiranac Once Cleared the Air on the Criticism She Faces for Her Social Media Career

Nearly every golf fan on social media follows Paige Spiranac. The golfer turned social media influencer has taken golf’s internet space by storm. Though many admire her for it, there are plenty of critics who downplay Spiranac. Nonetheless, being the fighter she is, the former pro golfer once shared the ill-treatment faced by her and another woman in the sport of golf.

After missing back-to-back cuts at the Dubai Ladies European Tour in 2015 and 2016, Spiranac decided to give her social media career more priority over her golf career. Moreover, the poor golf outing was met with massive criticism from fans and the media.

Many called her out for being a celebrity on the golf course instead of being a golfer. Eventually, the frustration got the better of her as she clapped back at all the hate received during her professional days.

The 29-year-old then talked about how everyone ignored her other accolades and also shared her admiration towards the community. Paige Spiranac said, “That’s unfair to me and unfair to all of my accomplishment. I probably do more community service than any other professional golfer”.
