Spiranac has over 3.7 million followers on Instagram alone, being the golf personality with the most social media followers, even more than Tiger Woods! Despite being so popular, Paige is often the victim of hate and trolling online. Earlier this year, Spiranac was named Maxim’s 2022 Sexiest Woman Alive. But trolls made it hard for her to celebrate.
