Paige Spiranac is a former professional golfer turned social media influencer. As a result, she works with several brands, including PointsBet, Shotscope, Club Champion, and Dynamic brands, and promotes them on her social pages. And according to the 29-year-old, she always works with the brands she knows about and believes in. 

“I never choose to work with a company just for the money,” she revealed in one of her podcast episodes, ‘Good for Golf + Q&A.’ Other than stating her value on the internet, she also explained how other influencers work in the ‘Playing a Round with Paige Renee’ podcast.

“It bothered me when other influencers just don’t give a sh*t about that,” Spiranac said. “And they’re just like promoting things left and right,” she added. “And especially when they’re saying something isn’t sponsored when it is when you clearly know what their agenda is.” 

The former professional golfer didn’t mention the name of the influencer she discussed in her podcast. However, we cannot help but believe she meant Hailey Rae Ostrom with her new statement. After all, Ostrom had made a post on Twitter, in which she reviewed a special event mentioning she didn’t get any sponsorship to do it. 

Who is Hailey Rae Ostrom, and what made Paige Spiranac take a dig at her? 

Hailey Rae Ostrom is a golf influencer with 397k followers on Instagram. Unlike Spiranac, who doesn’t play golf professionally, the 28-year-old still plays professional golf on the Cactus Tour

However, the two were once involved in an online feud that didn’t end on a good note. Although Ostrom started the feud with the golf analyst Amanda Rose, Spiranac got herself involved in it. Notably, the feud also helped us understand that Spiranac had already blocked Ostrom on her social pages after the latter pointed it out.
