But she told her followers the reason she uses that name while still competing as Paige Spiranac in tournaments.
Speaking on an episode of her ‘Playing a Round’ podcast in May, Paige explained: “I was very conflicted because I got the username Paige Renee because I was being stalked and harassed in college by these girls and so I had to delete my Instagram.
“It was really bad, they were stalking me on campus.”
When asked if it was regarding a boy, the 29-year-old added: “The strength trainer at the university – I would just be in there all the time.
“I clearly had no interest in him but they thought I did. I think that’s what it ended up being, who knows.
“Then I deleted that account and went by my middle name so they couldn’t find me.
“I was really private and only posted golf videos because nobody could make fun of golf videos.
“Then when we started to grow I didn’t know whether to use Paige Renee because I play golf as Paige Spiranac. It’s just continued like that.”
Spiranac has amassed a large following online with her golf videos – often in daring outfits.
She had her fans in stitches this summer after a tweet about enjoying a mid-round hotdog went viral.
She only posts sports videos and pictures now, and has a big following
She played pro golf between Dec 2015 and Dec 2016
She wrote: “There is nothing better than a hotdog at the turn on the golf course.”
Fans were quick to jump on the suggestive nature of the tweet, with Paige insisting it wasn’t intended in that way.
One user responded: “The comments are probably going to be out of control here…”
But Paige responded quickly to the initial tweet, which garnered over 9,000 likes in three hours and saw a number of NSFW replies.
She wrote “Me reading my comments after saying I enjoy a nice hotdog at the turn”, accompanied by a hilarious meme of Lin-Manuel Miranda in the musical Hamilton.

How to improve your golf swing with 5 easy exercises
Golf is one the most loved sports in the world. It requires a lot of practice to become a good golfer. Practice is the best thing to do in order to improve your game. Spend at least 2 hours a week playing golf. Sometimes, however, it is difficult to find the time. These five simple exercises can help you improve your golf swing.
- Start from the ground: Stand straight and keep your back straight. Hold your club straight. Bend your knees slightly to swing the club. Concentrate on your target. This will help you position yourself before you hit the ball.
- Keep your balance straight – Balance means that you are standing straight, keeping your feet together, and making sure that your weight evenly distributes throughout your body. When you hit the ball your weight should shift to the front leg.
- Bend your knees- Place your hands on the hips to help you bend your knees. Next, exhale and take a deep inhale. Then bend your knees while you breathe. This will allow the lower body to follow your swing when you swing the club.
- Relax your shoulders. – You can relax your shoulders to ensure that your swing is not impeded. Instead, let them swing the club free. This will enable you to generate power and speed without having to use excessive force.
- Focus on your target – Concentrate on your target instead of looking down at the ball. Focus your gaze straight ahead on the area you want to hit it. Be aware that if the ball is in front of you, it will be difficult to see where you are wrong.
