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.

While she was already unsure of her victory, the trolls continued to abuse and hate her. It made it worse. She says, “[I’m] want to be excited about [the award] but also have these emotions.

The hate has left Spiranac very raw, and she doesn’t even want to be active on social media anymore. She explained, “People were asking ‘why don’t you tweet about the US Open,’ and I was like, I can’t open social media right now.” Hate and abuse had become too much for the beautiful blonde, and she didn’t want to deal with it anymore.
