The world of golf influencers has long been dominated by Paige Spiranac, a woman who has amassed a staggering four million followers on Instagram and continues to captivate audiences with her golf skills and unique charm. However, a new contender has emerged in the form of pro volleyball influencer Kayla Simmons, who is proving that she, too, has what it takes to enthrall the golf community.
Kayla Simmons, hailed as a star in the world of volleyball, may not have golf as her primary sport, but her swing certainly caught the attention of many. Simmons recently showcased her left-handed swing at Top Golf, sharing the video on her Instagram story, which quickly disappeared after 24 hours. However, she cleverly added it to her Instagram Sports highlight tab, allowing her followers to relish in her golfing prowess.
With a substantial following of one million on Instagram, Kayla Simmons has made a name for herself in the influencer realm. Her background as a college volleyball player at Marshall University only adds to her appeal, as she brings a unique perspective and skillset to the golf industry.
While Simmons’ swing video at Top Golf demonstrated her talent and potential, it is undoubtedly a long road to dethrone the reigning queen, Paige Spiranac. Having played professionally herself, Spiranac has built an empire with her brand, including her OnlyPaige subscription service, calendars, and a range of golf-related merchandise. She has developed a strong connection with her audience and established an undeniable presence in the golfing community.
Despite the intense competition, there is enough room in the golf space for multiple women to thrive. Aaliyah Kikumoto took a bold shot at the PGA Championship, albeit briefly. It goes to show that women are making their mark in the historically male-dominated sport, and Kayla Simmons is another example of the increasing diversity and inclusivity within the golfing world.
