Furthermore, the 29-year-old suggested her followers get a routine check-up done, adding everyone to be kind to others. “A reminder to get your check ups and also that you never know what people are going through behind closed doors so extending kindness is so important,” Spiranac continued. “I want to thank you guys for always sending so much love and support my way.” The PointsBet USA ambassador reportedly is the most followed golf icon across social media, with more than 700,000 Instagram fans than star player Tiger Woods.
Earlier this year Spiranac won Maxim's 2022 'World's Sexiest Woman' award. She was the first sportswoman to win the title in the magazine's hot 100 list, which first appeared in 2000. Spiranac's career initially kicked off in 2015 after she won the 100th Colorado Women's Golf Association Match Play Championship, finishing nine under par, according to Daily Mail. After an article was released the following day, announcing her achievement, she soon became an internet sensation and gained 100,000 followers overnight.
Spiranac is very active on social media, where she posts videos of her swing, course tips, and paid sponsorships promoting golf products and accessories. Spiranac also has a YouTube channel where she often posts about golf, fitness, and her lifestyle. “I’ve built so much trust with my followers that they feel really comfortable opening up to me and it’s really been a positive community,” Spiranac told New York Post in September. “I’m happy that I have them, and I think, hopefully, that they’re happy that they have someone they can talk to as well.”
