Because of that, she’s amassed over 3.6 million followers who stay tuned for her next post.
Incredibly, she’s built a business empire worth around £3.1million for all her endeavours.
This is how Paige managed it…
Brand ambassador
A career outside of playing began in 2017 for Paige, when she signed with Parsons Xtreme Golf and represented its golf clubs in adverts on social media and TV.
That same year the blonde bombshell became the face of 18Birdies – marketing its golf app in the US.
Men’s fashion label Mizzen + Main got Paige onboard to plug their clothing, a brand worn by Phil Mickelson, in a hilarious ad.
While Philip Stein Watches also signed the beauty up to a campaign as an ambassador.
Last year, she joined PointsBet, a global bookmaker, and took an equity stake in the company to become a significant shareholder.
Sexy calendars
Maxim voted Paige the ‘World’s Sexiest Woman’, so of course she’s going to cash in.

Her 2023 calendar (the first she’s ever shot) is already on sale and turning heads.
Selling for £22, she shared a picture in a revealing black bikini, as well as all the deets.
She said on Instagram: “Calendar is now available to buy!
“This was a very special project for me. I found the location @therustyskilletranch, styled every look, did my own hair and makeup, and the best part is my mother shot every picture.
“It was just the two of us.
“Hope you enjoy the calendar and all the hard work we put into it! Link in bio to buy.”
The merchandising doesn’t end there either – with T-shirts, posters and beach towels all sold through her official website.

As a golf influencer, Paige is a hot commodity.
Blessed with stunning looks as well as talent, it’s no wonder a host of companies are queuing up to have her peddle their products.
Regularly, she gives shout outs, models garments and tries equipment from various golf companies.
And isn’t just sports brands, American label BYLT had Paige showing off her stunning curves in a bodysuit.
It reportedly costs around £12,500 to have Paige promote you – more than Tiger Woods.

Towels
When it comes to equipment a golfer needs as he makes his/her way round a course, a towel is an essential.
That’s why Paige has launched her own towel brand — ironically called Happy Place, which has been embraced by the golf world.
Rather brilliantly, she flagged it up with a photoshoot that referenced the Adam Sandler movie ‘Happy Gilmore’.
Dressed in skimpy lingerie, holding two beers in her hand, she was exactly what Sandler’s character in the film imagines is his ‘Happy Place.’

Podcast
Back in 2020, Paige launched her podcast.
Imaginatively called Playing A Round, she talks candidly about the sport and recently used it as a platform to slam sexism in golf.
She spoke of how spouses of famous male sport stars were better known for being “so-and-so’s wife” rather than for their own achievements.
Referring to Camille Kostek, wife of NFL star Rob Gronkowski, she said: “When it comes to talking about if there is a successful counterpart, it’s always so and so’s boyfriend.
“Take Camille Kostek, she has her own career.
“She’s very famous, and people refer to her as ‘Gronk’s girlfriend’.”
Paige also tore into it being seen as a “good thing” that a man has a “hot girlfriend” – using Dustin Johnson’s partner Paulina Gretzky as an example.
She continued: “It’s always like a good thing when a guy has a really hot girlfriend or wife.
“But that doesn’t apply to a woman.
“And it’s just really weird how [fans seem] so turned off by seeing that.
“But they love it when they get to see Paulina [Gretzky].
“It’s a form of sexism in a way..when it comes to men, having a hot wife or girlfriend is the greatest accessory that anyone could ever have.”

How To
What are the best golf clubs that I can carry in my bag for playing?
When you’re looking for the best golf clubs, it is important to know what kind of golfer you are. If you’re looking to play golf at least once a week or every weekend then you probably want to choose from one of the higher end models. If you are only going out for a few times a week, you might consider buying a set mid-range clubs. It really all depends on what you’re willing to spend and how frequently you plan to play.
A good set of woods is essential for anyone who hits a lot. These woods are extremely popular due to their accuracy and range. These types of clubs are typically made from stainless steel or titanium, making them extremely durable. You should ensure that the head of any wood club you purchase is the correct size. A smaller head gives you less forgiveness and a larger one will allow for more distance.
A good putter is also important. This will be something you use a lot during practice sessions or tournaments. This will allow you to choose from two main options. You have two options. One is a blade style and one is a Mallet style. These putters are easy to learn, and you can feel the ball moving towards your face before it hits. Mallet style putters require more skill and are less forgiving.
For irons you’ll want to pick up a few different styles. There are many iron sets on the market today. Some people prefer to buy a full set of irons and others like to purchase just their fairway woods and hybrids. No matter what you choose, you should try several brands before you make a decision.
A wedge should be adapted to your swing. If you are left-handed, you will need an offset wedge. However, if your swing is right-handed, you would want a straight through wedge.
You will need to decide whether you are a pull or fade hitter before you can choose a driver. Pull hitters typically favor drivers that are heavier than normal. They are able to produce more torque and power behind a ball. They prefer lighter drivers. They are more flexible and can produce more spin on a ball.
It’s always a good idea having a variety of clubs. You never know when you might need to change things up or purchase new equipment. A wide range of clubs will allow you to meet all your needs.
