Paige Spiranac gets vocal about hypocrisy in golf
Influencer in the golf industry Paige Spiranac has shared tales and anecdotes from her behind-the-scenes experiences as a professional player, especially on her Apple podcast.
The influencer talked about her work as a golfer, the people she serves, and how to choose a specialty.
"I look at my male counterparts, and I feel like they’re creating content that, at times, can be a little bit more risky than my content," the golfer said, talking about hypocrisy and gender issues in the industry. She also laughed at the fact that many firms are reluctant to work with her because of her explicit content.
