“I was shaking like a leaf” – When Paige Spiranac revealed her awkward meeting with Tiger Woods

Former golfer turned social media influencer Paige Spiranac once talked about how she was lost for words when she met Tiger Woods, and was 'shaking like a leaf' at their meeting.

Spiranac is one of the most popular social influencers in golf, with over 3.9 million Instagram followers, which is even more than someone like Woods, the greatest golfer of his generation.

A couple of months ago, during an Instagram Q&A, the 30-year-old personality was asked if she ever fangirled over someone. She said she had a few stories of meeting big personalities but also shared a concern.

She was quoted as saying via TalkSport:

"But unfortunately when I do, when I meet someone, the comments are, ‘oh, he nailed her... and I bet they… you know'. And it’s like ‘no’, I can have a normal interaction with someone."

"It’s disrespectful to me and to that person, and if they have a wife or significant other."

However, she added that she fangirled over Tiger Woods when they met at one charity event.

"So bearing that in mind, I did fan girl over Tiger Woods," she said. "He’s the only person I got so incredibly nervous over while having a less at his charity event."

"I was shaking like a leaf, I was so nervous," she added. "But he was so nice. That was one moment where I was like, 'I can’t believe this is my life.'"

Spiranac started her professional golf career on the Cactus Tour in 2016. She soon made a name for herself when she defeated Hannah O'Sullivan in a sudden-death playoff to claim her lone professional victory.

However, she struggled to earn an LPGA Tour card and eventually decided to step away from professional golf. Since then, she has ventured into social media and established herself as one of the most influential personalities in the golf world.

Spiranac hasn't abandoned golf, as her content revolves around the sport. Earlier this year, she launched OnlyPaige, her subscription-based website, where she offers exclusive golf lessons to her subscribers.
