The Origin Story
Paige Spiranac is one of the most-followed personalities in golf and a pioneer of golf social media.
From Gymnastics to Golf
Spiranac grew up in Colorado and was a competitive gymnast until a twice-broken kneecap ended that path at 12. She turned to golf, won five Colorado junior events, and played Division I golf at Arizona and then San Diego State, where she twice earned All-Mountain West honors and helped the Aztecs win their first conference title in 2015.
Going Pro, Going Online
She turned pro in 2016, winning on the Cactus Tour, while her social media following exploded. She has used that platform to speak out against cyberbullying, and has written a column for GOLF Magazine and hosted her own podcast.
