Paige Spiranac Does not Have $5 Million in Net Worth
Former University of Arizona golf star, Paige, had quite a great career in the sport. She began her career during her college days and has had one professional win so far. However, while her professional career only lasted for about a year, she was able to make it big.
During her one-year professional career, she earned $800 in prize money after finishing 9th place at Stallion Mountain. In June of 2016, she competed in the Aliante Golf Club and finished in 17th place out of 52 golfers. She made a 12-over-par net which won her prize money of $575.
CoBank Colorado which took place in August/September of 2016 saw Paige clinch the 9th position as well as $1,750. The professional golf player was also part of the Phoenix, Arizona ‘Legacy’ game. She had her second-best finish of the year at the competition and earned $935.
By October, Renee won $800 and ended the year with over $8000 in winnings. However, her professional career did not go past one year nor did her earnings of prize money from games.
Paige has earned nothing less than $1 million in net worth. She also has endorsements and social media influence added to her CV. With her influence on other brands and products, she increases her earnings.
It is speculated that from just Spiranac’s role as a social media influencer and brand influencer, she amasses as much as $1 million. This amount added to which she made from playing golf, definitely reaches the $3 million mark.
Though not at $5 million yet, the former athlete is well on her way there. With her interest and love for social media, she would probably earn more within in coming years.
Here are Some Other Facts about Spiranac Paige You Should Know
1. Brief Bio of Paige Spiranac
She was born Paige Renee Spiranac on March 26, 1993, in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. She grew up in Monument, Colorado, and began to pursue a dream in gymnastics. At the time, the young lady’s hopes were to compete in the Olympics.
While a young gymnast, she jumped from level six to ‘Elites’. This was a huge milestone in the field and her parents were always supportive and proud of her. Renee Paige was home-schooled because she needed time to train and work harder at her athletic dreams.
This dream was cut short when she suffered a heartbreaking injury. At the age of 12, the amateur gymnast fractured her kneecap, twice. She had pushed herself so much and had trained a little too hard that she suffered badly from the injury. This was the reason her Olympic dream came crashing down.
Her mother, Mrs. Spiranac hails from Croatia. Her mother’s name is Annette and she was a professional ballet dancer. Renee’s father was a one-time football player. Dan Spiranac, Paige’s father was a member of the 1976 Pittsburg Panthers national championship college football team.
Paige also has an older sister named Lexie who was also an athlete. Lexie was so good at the track games that she received a college athletic scholarship to compete with the team at Stanford University.
2. She has Suffered Bullying and Rejection
One of the most important reasons Paige was home-schooled was because she suffered bullying in school. The young athlete suffered a number of health challenges that prompted her to be isolated from her peers.
One of the health challenges was a scalp problem that led to the loss of hair. She would have her hair fall off unprovoked and this led to her wearing short hair a lot. The implication of this was that people confused her to be a boy.
Another issue the would-be gymnast suffered was an asthma attack. This particular ailment prevented her from having a healthy social life. Similarly, she was rushed to the hospital a couple of times because she suffered from attacks.
At the end of her 6th grade in school, Dan and Annette decided to withdraw her from regular school and home school her instead. According to Paige, the students at her school treated her with disdain and would even go as far as throwing rocks at her during recess.
Despite leaving the school, her former schoolmates followed her on social media and continued bullying her on her former Instagram account. This prompted Renee to change Instagram handles.
Also, she was called names while playing professional golf. The reason why she was ‘slut-shamed’ was that she was wont to show cleavage. Fellow female golfers and even the male ones were uncomfortable with it and called her names.
This made her very uncomfortable playing the sports. To add salt to injury, Spiranac’s offer to donate some gold equipment to children was turned down. According to the representative, the board members were not so comfortable with her physical representations.
3. Is Paige Renee Spiranac Married?
Renee was once hooked with Steve Tinoco, a personal trainer and former minor league baseball player. She stated that they had both met while she was still a junior golf player. At the time, Tinoco was not interested in her as he was in a relationship and she was also in a committed relationship.
According to the retired golfer, she flirted with the trainer a couple of times but he was uninterested. She made this confession on her Instagram page sometime in 2017. However, about a year later, they found themselves in a romantic relationship.
Steve supports her wholeheartedly and even gives her advice on what to do. They lived their whole relationship life privately and people had no idea if they went further or not.
Nonetheless, during a social media Q & A session with a fan, Paige made a shocking revelation. When asked if she was married, she stated that she was once married but is divorced.
Moving on, she pleaded that fans and the media should respect her privacy and not pry into the matter.
4. She Moved out of Her Comfort Zone
The athlete who is known to push herself to breaking point has broken out of her comfort zone. She stated that she had to move back to her hometown just so that she could move out of her comfort zone.
The 5-time Junior Gold Tournament winner had been in Arizona playing golf as a professional. In a video she made, she stated that she needed to get out of her comfort zone hence her move back to Colorado.
Spiranac admitted that as soon as she realized that she could overcome her anxiety issues, she knew she could leave her bubble. She also stated that she felt better moving to somewhere new especially somewhere close to her family. This happened after the revelation that she had just gotten divorced.
