Sports Illustrated
Paige was chosen to appear in the 2018 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, which is an incredible accolade for any athlete or model! Despite her achievements, she continues to be chastised.
She said, “I always felt like I never belonged and it is tough because I am a good player, I know what to do, but I still don’t like going to new clubs because I am worried someone will comment and say my skirt is too short or I don’t have a collar.” She added, “Why should that matter?”
Everyday Golfers
Her fellow and former pro golfers believe she was offered opportunities that were not in line with her abilities. Spiranac is fully aware of the contemptuous sentiments against her among the top female golfers.
“Life is great for them on tour, and that’s awesome, but we need to think about everyday golfers.” Paige’s commitment to expanding the game and combating discrimination and bullying is inspiring. Whether she can bring about any changes, she believes, will have to wait and see.
