Paige Spiranac is the most followed golfing entity on Instagram. Moreover, she is an open book and doesn’t shy away from speaking her mind. However, Paige once received death threats from fans after she made some interesting comments regarding the push carts in golf.
She said male golfers who use pushcarts rather than carry their bags on the golf course are bitches. After this statement, she received death threats from a few fans. “I have been getting so many DMs from very angry men about the fact that I called them a bitch for using a pushcart,” Paige revealed on her podcast.

How did Paige Spiranac earn money from the death threats?
Paige Spiranac made a tweet about receiving death threats. “I just got a death threat over a pushcart. Pushcart mafia rolls deep, literally.”
However, Spiranac turned this into a business idea to make money. The former pro golfer announced that she was launching T-shirts with the pushcart comments. The shirts had slogans like “Stay Strapped,” “Push It,” and “Mama Didn’t Raise No B-h.” Furthermore, she priced them between $25 and $27.
Therefore, Paige turned these trolls and threats into a business opportunity and earned from them big time. Meanwhile, criticism and trolling isn’t new for the golfing social media star. However, receiving death threats for things like pushcarts is surprising.
