Many, in this generation, aspire to earn stardom on social media . Though many have tried and failed to achieve popularity, the hard work and dedication of Paige Spiranac has made her the queen of golf. Nonetheless, earning millions of followers in a short span has its own drawbacks. Spiranac opened up about her initial struggles with online bullying in a recent episode of her podcast.

After a not-so-fancy career in professional golf, Spiranac hopped on social media and eventually became the most followed golf entity across all platforms. However, long before she became a household name, Paige’s popularity grew immensely around 2016.
