Paige Spiranac reveals she almost had completely different sports career before becoming world’s hottest golf influencer
PAIGE SPIRANAC has revealed she almost went down a completely different sporting path – before become the world’s hottest golf influencer.
The 29-year-old has given fans an insight into how she has carved a career for herself in sport and as a model.
But it may have all been so different for Paige who initially pursued a completely different sport before being halted by luck and injuries.
Answering fans’ questions on her podcast ‘Playing a Round’, she said: “I always wanted to be a professional athlete. It kills me, to this day, that I never made it.
“Especially because I was a competitive gymnast growing up and I was competing at a really high level, I wanted to go to the Olympics, but with gymnastics there’s an age restriction.
“So you have to be 16 or turning 16 in the year of the Olympics and the first year I would have been eligible was 18 which is past your prime.
“I also fractured my knee cap twice and just didn’t have the right body build. I’m a bit taller but you have to be short and strong and … that’s not my body type.”
Paige adds that the premature end to her gymnastics career led to some soul-searching.
She briefly got into tennis before concluding it was “not for me”.
But the model added: “I wish I stuck at it as I think I could have been a better tennis player than a golf player.
“But it was a little bit too familiar to gymnastics and I felt like I needed a change.”
Eventually Paige would find her path and she has now found a huge following who enjoy keeping tabs both her golfing and her glamorous modelling.
She regularly leaves her fans open-mouthed with her incredible pictures.
