Social media influencer Paige Spiranac is one of the most popular names in golf. While Spiranac is not an active professional golfer, she makes content related to the sport and enjoys widespread popularity. However, this popularity also has downsides, as fake quotes are attributed to Spiranac.
Recently, the social media sensation brought light to one such incident. On Instagram, Spiranac did a Q&A session with her followers. One follower asked Spiranac if she would really be revealing her breasts if Rickie Fowler won a Major this year.
Addressing this question, Paige Spiranac answered:
"We are talking like four or five years ago... someone created a fake tweet that said," I will show the girls if Rickie Fowle wins a Major." So, every single year, this fake tweet pops up all the time, and I get asked if it's real or not. It is fake. Girls are real; tweet is fake. And it will never die. Every year, I am like, finally it won't pop up, and it just popped up like yesterday, and it will never die, and it's insane."
In 2023 as well, Paige Spiranac had denied this question. At the time, she had mentioned that this episode was going to haunt her. She also added that she gets tagged in so much stuff related to Rickie Fowler that she is surprised the PGA Tour veteran hasn't blocked her yet.
Paige Spiranac on the difficulty in dealing with impersonators
As mentioned above, Paige Spiranac is one of the most popular names in golf. While she has four million followers on Instagram, she also boasts one million followers on X (formerly Twitter). Sadly, Spiranac's popularity also leads to people impersonating her.
In July 2024, Spiranac had conducted a Q&A session on Instagram. During this Q&A session, a follower asked Spiranac about the hardest part of dealing with fame. That's when the 2024 Creators Classic participant opened up about people impersonating her and the difficulties of dealing with it.
Paige Spiranac said:
"The hardest part lately actually has been dealing with all the impersonators and the fake accounts. It has spun into a couple very scary situations and there's really not much I can do besides reporting and blocking and coming here and warning people to not fall for those scans, but still people do."
Further in her story, Spiranac also warned her fans so that they don't suffer any harm due to her impersonators. She added:
"So here I am saying please don't talk to anyone claiming to be me, my management team, or talking on any other accounts that aren't my verified personal accounts or my passes account."
Spiranac also mentioned that she does not use WhatsApp or Google Hangouts. Spiranac said the only place where fans could get an official reply from her was through her personal verified accounts. The social media star urged her fans to block the fake accounts.
