Paige Spiranac may be one of the biggest golf influencers today, but her journey has been anything but smooth. Before becoming a social media sensation, she pursued a career in professional golf, hoping to make her mark on the course. However, constant online harassment, cyberbullying, and even death threats, along with disappointing results, forced her to reevaluate her future in the sport. Instead of stepping away completely, Spiranac found a new way to stay connected-building an influential presence in the world of golf content creation.
Recently, Spiranac sat down for an interview with Skratch, where she opened up about her early frustrations. She recalled how she struggled to handle the pressures of competitive golf, which eventually led her to pivot toward social media and content creation. The timing worked in her favor-her following exploded after finishing 9th at the 2016 CoBank Colorado Women’s Open, growing from 500 to 100,000 almost overnight. With that momentum, she embraced her new role, leveraging her platform to discuss golf, fitness, and lifestyle topics.

Despite her success, Spiranac acknowledges that the influencer industry is evolving rapidly. She reflected on the shift from organic content to more sensationalized, algorithm-driven posts, admitting that she now feels the need to rediscover her passion for creating meaningful content. Competing influencers like Grace Charis, Karin Hart, and Hailey Rae Ostrom have emerged in recent years, vying for attention in the same space. But Spiranac remains one of the most recognizable figures, boasting 4 million Instagram followers and 438,000 YouTube subscribers.

Dodgers begin grueling stretch with soggy marathon win over Mets despite undermanned pitching staff
NEW YORK — On Friday night, the Dodgers emerged victorious, technically speaking. The defending champions outlasted the Mets 7-5 in an ugly, delirious, rain-soaked, 13-inning slopfest. The game started at 7:10 p.m. ET. It ended just before 1 a.m.There will be bleary-eyed ballplayers on Saturday.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementEven though L.A. won the battle, the night that would not end has created something of a conundrum. Ahead of the Dodgers: a grueling month-long stretch, 26 consecutive games against teams with winning records. To commence that imposing slice of the schedule, this club would have loved a simple, painless opening act. One that might have allowed its overtaxed pitching staff a breather.That’s not what happened.Instead, a combo of rain and extra innings forced Dodgers skipper Dave Roberts to use nearly every arm in his already exhausted bullpen. It was a pyrrhic victory of epic proportions.When […]

Tom Thibodeau’s dogmatic commitment to his starting lineup might cost the Knicks a trip to the NBA Finals
Getty Images No lineup in basketball has played more than the starting five for the New York Knicks. The group of Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby and Karl-Anthony Towns played 940 minutes during the regular season, and only two other lineups played even half as many minutes. It's a Tom Thibodeau cliché at this point. No coach in the NBA clings as desperately to his best players as Thibodeau does. He's been a head coach for 12 full seasons and one of his players has led the NBA in minutes per game in four of them. Even when they don't, several are often near the top of their list. His 2018 Timberwolves starters also led all NBA lineups in total minutes. This is perhaps his defining trait as a coach.It's also probably going to cost him his first […]
Pete Crow-Armstrong hits 2 HR with 6 RBI for Cubs, after Red Sox’s Rafael Devers drives in 8 with 2 HR
Pete Crow-Armstrong's grand slam in the eighth inning lifted the Chicago Cubs to an 8-6 lead and an eventual 13-6 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night. Armstrong hit two home runs with six RBI, putting him among the league leaders in both categories in what's been an impressive start to his 2025 season.Crow-Armstrong's first homer was a 2-run shot in the fourth that put the Cubs on the board after falling behind 4-0. Reds pitcher Hunter Greene threw a 100-mph fastball on the outside edge of the strike zone, yet Crow-Armstrong still pulled it into the right field seats.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe grand slam came with a bit more suspense to it. Crow-Armstrong yanked a hanging Tony Santillan slider down the right field line and seemingly willed the fly ball to go fair. The play was reviewed but the home run […]

Sparta bude držet palce Plzni, ta na dálku bojuje s Baníkem o druhé místo
Slavia, již nějaký ten pátek jistý mistr současného ročníku, na rozloučenou s povedenou sezonou hostí třetí Ostravu. Ta má o motivaci postaráno. V tabulce je na tom bodově stejně jako druhá Plzeň a připomeňme, že stříbrný flek zajišťuje místenku do druhého předkola Ligy mistrů. Aby na ni Baník dosáhl, potřebuje získat v posledním kole více bodů než Viktoria doma s Jabloncem. Což se stoprocentní jistotou znamená pokazit zatím bezchybnou (17-0-0) domácí ligovou bilanci sešívaných. Ti už se těší na mistrovské oslavy, které naplno propuknou po závěrečném hvizdu. Ale určitě by tuze neradi, aby jejich tvrz s názvem Eden byla dobyta…O naděj hraje pátá Sparta, která prohrou v Ostravě před týdnem spadla z pohárových příček. Na čtvrtý Jablonec, za současné konstelace účastníka druhého předkola Konferenční ligy, ztrácí bod. Aby se na bramborovou pozici vrátila, potřebuje v souboji se šestou Olomoucí získat alespoň o bod více než Jablonec v Plzni. Což znamená, že musí […]
