"I'm the favorite to come in last" - A 'nervous' Paige Spiranac asks for 'advice for handling pressure' ahead of Creator Classic
Paige Spiranac is seeking advice from her fans as she prepares for the upcoming Creator Classic. The PGA Tour has introduced a new tournament this year specifically for content creators.
The event will take place ahead of the Tour Championship on Wednesday, August 28. Sixteen content creators, including Spiranac, will tee off at the tournament.
In her Instagram story, Spiranac asked her followers for advice on how she can improve her performance.
"As you guys know I am playing Creator Classic at East Lake and it's coming up very soon. So, kind of get some reps of the golf course right now. But the pressure is on because the odds are in and I am the favorite to come at last place. So, can we go up from here no pressure, and now I can just go there and have some fun. I am nervous and I don't know what I am going to do but it feels okay," Spiranac said.
The social media personality began practicing earlier this month. She posted a video of her practice session on her YouTube channel, hinting at her involvement in a significant stroke-play format event at the end of August. However, she did not reveal the tournament name at that time.
"This one is an important event. It's a stroke play event which I don't normally play stroke play events, especially under pressure. And so, it's really important that I feel super confident with my game. But unfortunately, I don't have a lot of time because my August is going to be extremely busy," she said.
Notably, Spiranac had played golf at a professional level and even won one event in her career. However, she has since transitioned into modeling and content creating.
