Thanks but no thanks: Paige Spiranac asks 'copycats' not to mimic her outfit or hair exactly
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Paige Spiranac has disparaged her "copycat" rivals in the golf influencer industry. Paige, 30, has 3.7 million Instagram followers, making her without a doubt the most well-known golf influencer in the world.
However, there are some imitators in the golf influencer world like Bri Teresi, Katie Sigmond, Grace Charis, and Karin Hart. They have been often accused of "stealing" some of Paige Spiranac's ideas and strategies in an effort to replicate her fame, but this hasn't been well received.

'Proud to be an inspiration'
Paige Spiranac has now addressed the issue directly - and not in a subtle way. She advised the other golf influencers to try to be more innovative for their own sake.
Paige stated during an Instagram Q and A session, “They say that imitation is the greatest form of flattery so I am proud to be an inspiration for all of these women.” She continued, "I mean, they've seen me be successful and they know that if they copy, you know, exactly what I'm doing or follow in my footsteps and the exact path that I have created and built for myself, that they will also be successful."
'Wish it wasn't copied exactly'
"We have seen that, so that's pretty cool and shows how powerful my brand has been, that if they do copy everything then they will also be successful. I will say that I do value creativity and I wish that it wasn't copied exactly, from the exact outfit to how I do my hair to the captions to how it's shot. It would be nice if there was just a little bit of a difference and I think it would be actually beneficial for them to be different and not have it be exactly, exactly, exactly the same," Spiranac added.
Paige admires authenticity
Paige Spiranac undoubtedly has a point; all golf fans who follow these influencers might benefit from a bit more uniqueness and ingenuity. Recently, Paige has been having fun at the Masters in Augusta. She spoke with attendees while watching Jon Rahm win the coveted competition.
The NBA, NFL, and World Cup are just a few of the sports that the influencer enjoys watching. The Masters, though, is her favorite athletic event of the year, as she has acknowledged.
