Following a not-so-successful pro career, Paige Spiranac shifted her focus to becoming a golf influencer. One of the most followed golfing entities on social media, she is largely credited for her posts revolving around the sport. However, apart from her golf interest, she is also known for her opinions…opinions, that often make it to the headlines.

Spiranac enjoys the pleasure of being referred to as a golf influencer. However, her views and thoughts often branch out from the game to other walks of life. In February this year, Spiranac took to her social media handle, taking a dig at Brittany Mathews and Jackson Mahomes, wife and brother of NFL star, Patrick Mahomes. However, six months after the dig, the former golfing pro recently issued an apology to the Mahomes family.
