The professional golfer turned golf influencer, Paige Spiranac has been subjected to online hatred plenty of times. Mostly, people accuse her of over se*ualising herself and thus setting a bad example. However, the 29-year-old has always said that she started her current career to support women. 

“There’s been a ton of discussion around female athletes and showing off their bodies,” Spiranac said in her latest video. Usually, the former golfer would post either entertaining or sports events-related videos on her Twitter page. However, she used the platform to discuss a rather serious topic this time.
