Tournament Time
With Paige’s popularity surging, she started to get approached from seemingly everyone. Equipment and apparel companies, possible agents, and even tournament organizers started to take notice of the star golfer. In the summer of 2015, Spiranac received an unexpected, life-changing direct message on Twitter.
The message came from a golf executive in Dubai, who invited her to play in a professional tournament. It was actually the first time he ever invited a player to a tournament via social media. The tournament had been struggling to find effective ways to raise awareness, so inviting Paige — a golfer with one of the biggest circles of influence in the sport — to play was an easy decision.
