After the latest developments in ranking the most followed golfer on Instagram, everyone asks the same question. The official Twitter handle of Golf Magic tweeted the rankings with the caption, “REVEALED – The most followed golfers on Instagram for 2022! @PaigeSpiranac takes the top spot again for 2022! 600,000 more followers than Tiger Woods.”

But the tweet by Paige Spiranac has left the golf world in wonder. She shared the tweet by Golf Magic and wrote, “This just in. Men like golf and b**bs.” This bold statement has left us questioning whether her claims are correct. Despite being the best golfer, Woods could not surpass the internet sensation with 3.6 million followers with  his 3 million followers, landing in close as the second most followed golfer behind Paige Spiranac.

The most followed golfers on Instagram for 2021 had the same results with different numbers. Golf legend, Woods, had 2.7 million followers and landed in the second position in 2021. Whereas golf beauty and ex-golfer, Spiranac, had 3.1 million followers in 2021, making her the top most follower golfer. Spiranac has been upping her online game quite nicely, and she has definitely been gaining followers quite rapidly.

This might surprise you, but according to the reports, Spiranac earns more than Woods, for posting pictures online. They pay her a whopping  £10,272.25 per post, which is £2k more than the golf legend himself. 

Woods has earned a name and fame, but Spiranac has a more vital online presence game, and she is getting better with every passing day.
