Internet sensation Paige Spiranac has admitted to being pestered online by celebrities – just not the ones fans would expect.

In 2016, the influencer failed in her bid to play full time on the LPGA Tour, but she’s still become a prominent name in the sport. With an Instagram following of 3.7 million, the star regularly captivates her fans with a mixture of golf tips and eye-catching pictures.

And in the build-up to The Masters, she again took social media by storm by showing off her new Augusta collection of clothing. Since Jon Rahm donned the green jacket, she’s hogged the limelight again, holding a question and answer session where she was asked about the attention she gets from high profile names.

Paige Spiranac makes Phil Mickelson joke after Tiger Woods hands tampon to PGA rival
“There has been a couple that have been surprising and cool,” she answered. “It’s bad that when they then unfollow you, and you are like ‘oh great, what did I do now?’

Despite the frequency of her posts, the American star rarely delves into personal matters when addressing fans. In 2018, Spiranac married sports trainer Steven Tinoco, but confirmed 13 months ago that the pair had separated.

But she’s never been afraid to take aim at the game’s current stars. She’s regularly taken aim at LIV star Bryson DeChambeau, initially mocking his 2020 claim that he would be playing Augusta as a ‘par 67’, and was merciless when he contrived to clothesline himself with a course rope in a rebel event last year.

More recently, she hit the headlines after cracking a joke over controversy surrounding Tiger Woods, who handed playing partner Justin Thomas a sanitary product after outdriving him. The prank went viral on social media, with Spiranac using it to make a joke about Mickleson and golf’s ongoing civil war. “I need a LIV vs PGA Tour Ryder cup type event just so Tiger can give Phil a tampon after out driving him,” she said.
