Though the social media sensation usually posts a video of herself making a prediction, this time, Spiaranc was given a podcast to speak about the third PGA Tour event of the year. In the PointsBet Sportsbook podcast, she first discussed the underdogs of the event.

Nonetheless, the 2022 Maxim’s Sexiest Woman Alive was then asked about who’s the player she’s got an eye on. “It is so hard to go against Jon Rahm right now”, claimed Spiranac. The Spaniard has won the previous two events of 2023 as he seeks to claim his third consecutive PGA Tour win.

After giving Rahm his flowers, Paige Spiranac also considers Taylor Montgomery as a favorite. She stated, “He’s an awesome young player. He has a crazy stretch of top 15 finishes”. Montgomery has finished four times in the top-10 in 9 starts in the 2022-23 season. Apart from the Las Vegas-based golfer, Spiranac also had other names who’ll finish in the top 10.

She said, “Scott Stallings. He just gets it done. His value is always really great”. Though Stallings is yet to add a Tour win to his resume, the social media star still considers him a talent worth watching. In the end, Paige Spiranac has a final golfer who according to her will make it to the top 10.

Other really great player is Will Zalatoris”, added the social media star. “He is number one when you look at guys with all their stats and hard-playing conditions”. Spiranac’s predictions have been proven right in the past, but following the first day at Torrey Pines, what’s the status of all these golfers?
