All you need to know about Paige Spiranac's journey

Paige Spiranac is widely renowned for her golf content on social media. However, the sport was not her first choice. As a young kid, she was a star gymnast who was keen on representing the USA at the Olympics. However, a series of tragic injuries to both her knee caps ended her dream.

Spiranac decided to pursue golf at the young age of 12. She was homeschooled to aid her mental health, which gave her more time to play golf. Growing up in Monument, Colorado, she exhibited extraordinary athletic talent.

Spiranac clinched multiple titles on Colorado's local junior circuit, propelling her to a top-20 world ranking in junior golf. She went on to play NCAA Division 1 collegiate golf for the University of Arizona and San Diego State University.

Spiranac's collegiate career was highlighted by numerous accolades, setting the stage for her professional journey. She made her professional debut on the Cactus Tour in 2016, securing her sole victory. Later that year, she attempted to qualify for the LPGA Tour but fell short in the Q-School event. Subsequently, she opted not to pursue further LPGA qualification.

Since then, she has successfully carved out a niche for herself within the golf industry. Spiranac is a renowned Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model and consistently shares golf-related content across her extensive social media following.

Spiranac is set to star in the PGA Tour's Creator Classic event on August 28 at the East Lake Golf Club. She will be joined by several other influencers, like George Bryan IV and Wesley Bryan of the Bryan Bros, Aimee Cho, and 12 other golfers. The event will start at 4:00 PM ET and will be streamed live on the PGA Tour's official YouTube channel.
