It happens rarely, but sometimes in sports there are figures who have amazingly successful careers despite not being dominant in their sports. Think Tim Tebow. He’s probably set for life despite the fact that he’ll probably never be too good in the NFL. Think Anna Kournikova who was never dominant in tennis but her looks garnered her millions. Now I’m not saying that new internet sensation Paige Spirinac is in the same boat but I will say this: Paige Spirinac is turning heads and is going to be a millionaire as well as one of the biggest names in women’s golf very very soon. Spiranac recently graduated from San Diego University, where her college team won the Mountain West Conference Golf Championship.
So yeah, she’s not even on the LPGA yet. What makes Paige so special? Frankly it’s the fact that she’s absolutely gorgeous. Spiranac first became a star in the United States when her college golf team’s trick shots video went viral. The SDSU women’s golf team trick shots video on YouTube has more than 1.5 million views.
The self-confessed fitness addict has her eyes set on earning her spot on the LPGA Tour alongside the best female golfers in the world. Despite only just finishing her university degree in communications, the 22-year-old has 85,000 followers on Instagram. After one day on Twitter, she already has more than 1,100 followers.
Spiranac was also an elite junior gymnast, training 38 hours a week to make the USA’s Olympic team, but decided to focus on golf. “I absolutely love golf. It totally beats doing back handsprings on a 4-inch (balance) beam and defying death,” she once told The Gazette newspaper in Colorado Springs.
While she’s not on the women’s tour yet, she’s racking up the points and I can assure you that every male on the planet is hoping she makes it. And in case you’re wondering what all the hype is about, there are pictures below.
