Despite no longer being a professional golfer, Paige Spiranac is still very much part of the golf world. The social media icon holds a huge influence over millions of golf fans. It’s safe to say that her opinion certainly matters. Her recent words may have also led many fans to change who they bet on to win this week’s PGA Tour event. The influencer, despite other golfers having better odds, believes that two PGA Tour stars will be big contenders in the Farmers Insurance Open.

The blonde golfer has been playing the sport from a very young age and knows the ins and outs of it. She makes her picks considering factors many think are irrelevant. This makes her views very important to the betting fans. Just like she did last year, this year too she picked players for the San Diego event.

In a recent sit-down with PointsBet Sportsbook, Spiranac revealed that, per her, Xander Schauffele and Rickie Fowler were the two underdogs at the ongoing Tour event. “Two players you want to look at, Xander Schauffele and Rickie Fowler,” she said with conviction. The Instagram model stated that she believed that both would perform better because of the location of the event.

“They have roots in San Diego,” explained Maxim 2022’s Sexiest Woman Alive. “So, I think you tend to play better when you have people out there supporting you.” Paige believes that athletes tend to outperform themselves when the crowd is with them. She stated that Schauffele and Fowler had that advantage over the rest.

Both PGA Tour stars were born in California. They certainly have a distinct advantage over the likes of the Spanish great, Jon Rahm, having grown up there. But will that be enough to pull them through to the end?

The blonde beauty further added that, of late, his game had been splendid. “His game is trending. His game looks better than ever,” she stated. “So, I think that can be a really interesting pick for this week.” Spiranac has faith that the 5-time PGA Tour winner will come through this week and perhaps even grab a win.
