Paige Renee Spiranac is an American glamour model and professional golfer. She rose to fame after a YouTube video became popular of her making a trick shot where she bounced a golf ball off her club and into her cleavage. Spiranac experienced cyberbullying after she had a poor showing at the 2015 Omega Dubai Ladies Masters - which was her first event as a professional and which she entered with a sponsor's exemption. She is now an advocate against cyberbullying.
Professional golf career
In 2015, a Total Frat Move[2] article encouraging people to check Spiranac out online, resulted in her Instagram following jumping from under 10,000 to over 100,000 in just two days.[3]
This explosion in social media led her to being invited to play in the Omega Dubai Ladies Classic in 2015. She missed the cut, but the online attention resulted in many sponsors and endorsement deals, making her a professional golfer. Her 2016 golfing season saw her play on the Cactus Tour, finishing the season with $8,010 in winnings and another invitation to Dubai.[4]
Colorado Women's Open
Spiranac competed in the 2016 CoBank Colorado Women's Open,[5] placing ninth at one-under-par[5] and earning $1,750.[5] By accepting prize money, Spiranac became a professional golfer.
Cactus Tour
Spiranac debuted on the Cactus Tour at the Las Colinas club in Queen Creek, Arizona. A five-under-par final round earned her a tie for 14th place[6] and a prize of only $100 out of the $12,080 purse, a small figure even amongst women's professional golf tournaments. Another strong final round showing at her second event at Lookout Mountain, a day's best three-under-par, resulted in a third place tie at one-under with Hannah Arnold,[7] good for $950.
A sudden-death win at Scottsdale's Orange Tree Country Club over Hannah O’Sullivan, the then top-ranked amateur in the world,[8] earned Spiranac her first tour win, in just her third start.
She next finished ninth at Stallion Mountain, earning an $800 prize.[9] At the Aliante Golf Club, Spiranac finished 17th out of 52 golfers,[10] her twelve-over-par score netting a $575 prize.[10] She finished eight-over-par for a seventh-place finish at Walnut Creek in Mansfield, Texas, earning $600.[11]
After a two-month layoff, Spiranac bounced back to a three-way second-place tie at Legacy in Phoenix, Arizona, with Jane Rah and Caroline Inglis.[12] Her second best finish of the year earned $935.[12] A two-under-par final round produced another top-five finish at Trilogy[13] and $800. The final event of the season was the 2016 Arizona Women's Open in Sun City, Arizona. Spiranac shot an opening round 78 and finished 30th.[14]
Seeking to concentrate on growing her social media presence and influence, Spiranac changed her agent to Jeremy Aisenberg of Octagon after the season.[4] After missing the cut once again at Dubai in 2016, she has not played professional golf since, and has instead concentrated on growing her brand.
