Was Phil Mickelson dating 2022’s Sexiest Woman Alive? Paige Spiranac reveals story behind the 52-year-old blocking her on social media

While Phil Mickelson earned most of his bread and butter from the world of golf, golfer-turned-influencer Paige Spiranac credits most of her success and fame to social media. Spiranac once said that she was a huge fan of Mickelson until things went downside and the 52-year-old blocked her on social media, and tried to cover it up as a glitch!

Spiranac likes to discuss golf tips on her podcast and includes her own playing experiences in order to help people who want to learn golf or get better at the sport. She also has her own YouTube channel where she puts up actual training videos, which she thinks will help people understand nuances better.

“I met Phil years prior. He was really nice. A year later, I saw him at the Phoenix Open. I always thought there was like a fine relationship between us. I was like, ‘Let’s go Phil,’ gassing him up, saying the nicest things about him, but then I was looking [on social media] and I was like, ‘I can’t freaking tag him. Why can’t I tag him?’ So, I was looking and looking and I clicked on somebody else’s tag and it said ‘blocked’,” Spiranac recently revealed in an episode of the ‘The Bunkered Golf’ podcast.

“He DM’d me the next day and he was like, ‘I’m sorry, I don’t know what happened. It must have been a glitch in the system’ and I was like, ‘Okay, fine, congrats on your PGA win’. Next day, blocked again. Not only that but he blocked me on Instagram, too…”

I am anti-Phil now because that’s just pig-s**t. Now I just say whatever about Phil because I think he’s a little – I can already see the headlines now, ‘Paige says Phil’s fake’ – but I think he is,” she explained by adding in the details about the encounter with Mickelson.

Recently, Spiranac went on PointsBet’s Instagram to make a reel about her favourite and least favorite athletes on social media. Talking about the recent Wells Fargo golf competition that took place, she said that the winner- Max Homa– was killer on the field as well as on his twitter game. Paige then went on to name her other favorite athletes to follow on social media.

In the reel, she first talks about the American football quarterback Tom Brady, and said that he is funny, engaging and creative while using his social media. She then goes on to say Kevin Durant, stating that he is not afraid to get shady and get dirty in the mud. She said that he does not shy away from controversy, and Paige herself loves some controversy.

Spiranac’s third favorite athlete was of course the golfer she talked about before in the video, Max Homa. Paige said that Homa, in a world full of robotic golfers, was not afraid to show his personality. Talking about her least favourite people to follow however, she said that first second and third place went to the Mahomes golfer family, and she said that she did not even have to mention why.
