The golf world, already known for its fairways and etiquette, has just been rocked by a scandal straight out of a reality show. Paige Spiranac, the most-followed female golf personality in the world, has ignited a wildfire of drama by publicly lashing out at rising influencer and golfer Grace Charis — and she didn’t hold back. In an Instagram Live session that has since gone viral, Paige furiously labeled Grace a “copycat whore,” claiming the young blonde was stealing her image, style, and brand — all without giving credit.

“She’s taken everything I built and slapped her name on it like it’s hers,” Paige ranted in the live video. “From the outfits to the poses to the content — it’s a cheap imitation of me, minus the authenticity.”

The comments instantly set social media ablaze. Fans, critics, and golf pros alike were stunned by the harshness of Paige’s words, and even more intrigued by the implication that Grace Charis has a controversial history that most of the public isn’t aware of. Within hours, golf forums and Reddit threads began digging into Grace’s past, and what they uncovered only fanned the flames.

According to online sleuths, Grace Charis, who skyrocketed to fame on TikTok and Instagram with her bold, sexy golf content, allegedly used to operate under different social media aliases before reinventing herself in the mold of Spiranac. Old videos surfaced showing Grace engaging in content that was far from the polished, golf-focused brand she currently presents. Some fans claimed that she strategically studied Paige’s rise and mimicked her content strategy almost frame by frame — from golf trick shots in tight tops to sultry commentary on men’s tournaments.

Insiders from the influencer golf scene suggest that this rivalry has been brewing behind the scenes for over a year. “Paige tolerated it at first,” said an anonymous source close to the former pro. “But Grace started landing sponsorship deals with brands that used to be exclusive to Paige — that’s when things snapped.”

While Paige Spiranac has received both praise and criticism for her outburst, one thing is clear: the golf world has never seen drama quite like this. Some male golfers have reportedly been caught off-guard, with one PGA Tour player anonymously stating, “We follow both of them… but this feud is getting out of hand. It’s like golf turned into a soap opera.”

Meanwhile, Grace Charis has yet to issue an official response, but cryptic Instagram stories suggest she’s unbothered. In one story, she posted a photo in a Paige-like pose with the caption: “If being inspired is a crime, lock me up.”

Whether this feud fizzles or explodes further remains to be seen, but one thing’s for sure — golf is no longer just about birdies and bogeys. It’s about branding, followers, and now, a public rivalry that might just change the influencer game forever.
