PAIGE SPIRANAC has thrown shade at her “copycat” golf influencer rivals.

The 30-year-old has risen to fame in recent years via her social media presence, having previously played golf professionally.

In the wake of Paige’s success, she has been followed by the likes of Grace Charis, Waiyi Chan and Lauren Pacheco in the golf influencer space.

During an Instagram Q&A, Paige was asked about what she makes of “copycat golf girls”.

She did initially admit her pride at inspiring others… before offering pointed words of advice.

Paige said: “They say that imitation is the greatest form of flattery, so I am proud to be an inspiration for all these women.

“They’ve seen me be successful and they know if they copy exactly what I’m doing or follow in my footsteps in the exact path that I have created and built for myself, that they will also be successful, we have seen that.

“So I mean that’s pretty cool and shows how powerful my brand has been that if they do copy everything then they will also be successful.

“I will say that I do value creativity and I wish that it wasn’t copied exactly from like the exact outfit, to my how I do my hair, to the captions, to how it’s shot.

“It would be nice if there was at least a little bit of a difference and I think it would actually be beneficial for them to be different – not to be exactly, exactly, exactly the same.”

Paige has recently been partying at the Masters in Augusta.

She met with fans at the event, while witnessing Jon Rahm capture glory in the prestigious event.

The influencer loves watching a variety of sport – including the NBA, NFL and the World Cup.

But she has admitted that the Masters is her favourite sporting event of the year.
