When Paige Spiranac met Tiger Woods
Prominent golf personality Paige Spiranac recently shared a personal revelation with her vast legion of followers. She recounted a memorable golf lesson she received from none other than the legendary Tiger Woods, a 15-time major champion widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport.
Among the questions posed during the Q&A, one questioned stood out: "Who do you fan girl over?"
She said, “I have a lot of pretty cool stories that I would want to share but unfortunately when I do, when I meet someone, the comments are [puts on a deep voice], ‘oh, he nailed her after and I bet they… you know,” she said.
"And it’s like ‘no’, I can have a normal interaction with someone. It’s disrespectful for me and to that person, and if they have a wife or significant other. So don’t [do that], it ruins it.
She added, "So bearing that in mind, I did fan girl over Tiger Woods. He’s the only person I got so incredibly nervous [over] while having a lesson at his charity event, Tiger Jam [which raises money for Woods’ education-based charity]."
“I was shaking like a leaf, I was so nervous. But he was so nice. That was one moment where I was like, ‘I can’t believe this is my life’," she said.
