Controversy Followed Her

Paige’s rise to stardom was not without its rough patches. Her flair on social networks like YouTube and Instagram, combined with her commitment to representing the NGO Cybersmile, sparked more than just admiration. Many in the golfing world were displeased with the new image she was creating for women’s golf. Her self-assurance in embracing her appearance ruffled feathers within the community.

The backlash reached a peak when the LPGA tightened its dress code, a move seemingly aimed at Paige. The criticisms affected her tour performance. Even as she worked tirelessly for self-worth and against bullying, she discovered that not everyone plays fair.
