Paige Spiranac Rubbishes Claims That Her Golf Career Stardom Is Due To Performing “Sexual Favors”

The claims that Paige Spiranac did “sexual favors” to advance in her golf career were addressed by the player.

On the March 19 edition of Mel Reid and Kira Dixon’s podcast, “Quiet Please!” she stated: “There were constant comments like ‘I did sexual favors to get this invite,’ and I was listening to it — and they would say [it] within earshots of me. It was tough,”

During her first professional golf tournament in 2015, Spiranac was the focus of a “difficult” internet discussion, with many arguing that her athletic prowess alone wasn’t enough to earn her the invitation.

The 32-year-old influencer stated: “It was my first pro event, it was really difficult. I just wanted to be liked and I played so bad. It was horrendous,”  “This was back when people weren’t going viral all the time and I didn’t know how to handle it and my whole life got flipped upside down,” 

“I show up and was doing hours of press, which I wasn’t prepared for. I had no training to do this.”

“Yeah.. I would go on the range and girls would just scatter. No one wanted to hit next to me,” 

When Spiranac looked back on her career, she stated she believed that other women in the field evaluated her based on her influencer position. Spiranac claimed she became well-known because she “went viral,” but she claimed she wasn’t ready for the spotlight.
