Amassing more Instagram followers than every professional golfer, to becoming the first sports entity to top Maxim’s Hot 100 list, these are enough for a passerby to know how famous Paige Spiranac is. And after releasing the Google search data from 2022, it has been confirmed that she is indeed the most popular female golfer. 

Golf Digest recently released the global Google search data index report regarding the top 10 most searched professional golfers. Unsurprisingly, the 15-time major champion Tiger Woods topped the list, with his all-time rival, Phil Mickelson coming in second.

The two have been in the professional world for a long time and are considered two of the bests of all time. Therefore, their results were not news to the golf world. However, Spiranac’s position in the top 10 most searched golfers list is noteworthy.

Paige Spiranac was born to become a global star

According to reports, Paige Spiranac received a 16.48 global Google search interest index. The score is nothing compared to Woods (100). However, compared to Mickelson, who has been in the industry for 30+ years, her score with 5+ years of experience is nothing but commendable.

Paige Renee Spiranac is an American-born golf entity. However, she also managed to find a spot in the top 10 most searched golfers in Australia. Notably, she ranked at no. 4 with a 20.44 index rate, which shows her popularity in other countries. 

The Colorado native is the only female entity on the list 

Lydia Ko, Nelly Korda, Atthaya Thitikul… none of the world’s top female golfers are on the top 10 list. Only Spiranac, who never had a bright golfing career despite having a good amateur profile, made it to the top 10.

Notably, golf was not the only failed career Spiranac had. She was once trained to be a professional gymnast. However, multiple injuries caused her to quit that endeavor, after which she chose golf as her career. 

Interestingly, the 1-time Cactus Tour champion wouldn’t have become a full-time social media influencer if a website didn’t started writing about her diligently.
