Before she became a household name as a content creator, Spiranac played golf at San Diego State. The former All-Mountain West performer helped the program win a conference championship. She then rode that momentum to the pro level, competing in the developmental Cactus Tour as well as a LPGA Tour qualifier. Unfortunately, she dealt with some criticism during the early stages of her career.
Back in 2015, rival golfers accused Spiranac of performing “sexual favors” to get invited to the Dubai Masters. She fired back at that false narrative during an appearance on the “Quiet Please!” podcast.
“I show up and was doing hours of press, which I wasn’t prepared for. I had no training to do this. And I would say there were a couple of girls who were really supportive and who were nice, but the majority, it was brutal,” Spiranac said, via the New York Post. “I would go on the range and girls would just scatter. No one wanted to hit next to me.

“There were constant comments like ‘I did sexual favors to get this invite,’ and I was listening to it — and they would say [it] within earshots of me. It was tough. Not knowing what I was doing, it was my first pro event, it was really difficult. I just wanted to be liked and I played so bad. It was horrendous.”

While the days of Spiranac dealing with damaging rumors are over, she admit last Friday that she still battles with golf course anxiety.

“So I have a really toxic love-hate relationship with the game of golf. And I have talked about this ad nauseam. It was one of the reasons why I stopped playing golf professionally,” Spiranac said. “I just could never get over the golf course anxiety. And I would just feel that my mind always won, and I was weak and I could just never overcome that feeling.
“There’s also something about the game of golf that makes you addicted to it but also makes you feel like the most worthless human being ever when you have a bad round. I’ve been working with a therapist on this. I love golf so much, but sometimes, I just can’t break through. It eats at me, and I know so many others can relate to this.”
While fans certainly applauded Spiranac for sharing this story, many of them also brought up how she recorded this video without any makeup.
“No makeup and she’s still [fire emoji],” one social media user wrote.

“You’re perfect the way you are! Keep having fun playing golf and keep providing entertaining content and just enjoy the ride,” a fan said.
“Natural beauty,” another fan replied.
It has become very clear that Spiranac is beloved in the golf community, and rightfully so.
Not only does Spiranac offer tips to golfers trying to lower their scores, she’s willing to open up about her own personal struggles. That has allowed her to build a genuine connection with her fans.
