The people who make big names in their respective fields always have someone behind them. They will follow an idol, and they will learn from them. The same was the case for former professional golfer, Paige Spiranac. She recently visited Australia for a vacation and had a blast. However, there she revealed who is behind her love for golf. The internet queen who inspires her 11 million fans; shared the names of the pros who inspired her to take on a golf journey.

Who inspired Paige Spiranac to take up golf as a career?

In Australia, the golf beauty engaged in a question-answer interview with Australian Golf Digest TV. The video of her interview is out, and it has some major revelations. The question was, “what got you hooked on golf?” Her answer was unknown to us, but it wasn’t surprising. She replied, “my parents got me into it.” After mentioning her female inspiration to play the sport, she named Tiger Woods the reason to start a career in golf. “Tiger Woods say, inspired me to keep playing.”

However, it was not the first time when her golf was affected by the former number-one golfer. Last year, Spiranac posted a short-game tutorial on her Instagram handle. There she showed tricks to play certain shots. And number one was the Low spinner. She wrote in her post, “Tiger taught me this shot at his charity outing (coolest moment of my life) he said to open the face, choke down, hands forward, narrow and open stance, swing out to in, and weight on your front leg.” He was not just an inspiration but also a teacher to her.

Even though Woods and Spiranac don’t stand on the same side regarding the golf ball back rule, she thinks his impact on her career is profound. Last year she spoke about him in her podcast. Praising his special golf journey, Spiranac said looking at Woods’ career, one can see why it’s unique since it hasn’t gone through phases like those of other golfers. Golf is essentially a game where, when you’re convinced you’re going to play well, how long can you maintain that?

The golf beauty is supportive of the pro golfer

Where the sportsbook is convinced that Woods will not win the Masters this year, Spiranac believes he will. In one of the episodes of the Bunkered Golf Podcast from the previous year, the former golf professional made a prediction regarding Woods. She praised the 15-time major champion’s outstanding showing at the first two major championship competitions. She also predicted that the former World No. 1 would take home another big title.
