One of the most popular faces in golf, Paige Spiranac’s rising fame has meant fans tend to forget her retirement from the sport itself. The ex-golfer has played on the Cactus Tour before, but she wasn’t able to compete against the likes of Nelly Korda and others on the prominent LPGA Tour.

Having not shared the same stage as her peers, it’s apparent that Spiranac doesn’t look eye-to-eye with the LPGA Tour pros. Her soaring sponsorship deals have added insult to injury, which has created a visible rift between women golfers and the golf beauty. Yet, the 2022 Maxim’s Sexiest Woman Alive recipient had kind words for trailblazing golfer Nelly Korda on the latest episode of her podcast.

Paige Spiranac admires Nelly Korda’s “full package”

The 30-year-old social media influencer uploaded the latest episode of her podcast series ‘Playing a Round with Paige’, where she divulged into golf fitting and a solid dose of T&A. Among the many questions that she came across, Spiranac was asked about the best-looking golfer, in her opinion.

While naming World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler on the men’s side, Spiranac named Nelly Korda as her woman’s candidate and elaborated upon her reasons. “I think Nelly Korda is the full package,” she said. “I think she speaks well. She’s beautiful. She has a great personality. Clearly, she’s an amazing golfer.”
