As mentioned above, Paige Spiranac is extremely popular on social media. On Instagram alone, Spiranac has 4 million followers, and she constantly engages with them by uploading content. While Spiranac enjoys her popularity, being in the public eye also has its disadvantages.

During a Q&A session on Instagram, a fan asked Spiranac about how she deals with the people who constantly comment about her looks. Spiranac answered:

"I know that when I post something online, I'm opening myself up to criticism, and people have a right to their opinion," she added. "They can say what they want. I might not agree with that opinion or always love that opinion, but it's their opinion. So, I've just grown to have some thick skin, brush it off, and move on and do something the next day."

Apart from her fanbase on Instagram, Spiranac also enjoys popularity on platforms like TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), and YouTube.

On YouTube, she regularly uploads golf-related content and has also done collaborations with professional golfers like 2024 US Open winner Bryson DeChambeau.
