Paige Spiranac, a golf personality, is rivalled in social media popularity by KATIE SIGMOND.
Ten million people follow the 20-year-old on TikTok and Instagram.
And because of sponsorships and endorsements from her devoted following, her star is still rising.
In her profile, Katie identifies as both a sportsperson and a fitness icon.
Meanwhile, Spiranac has 3.7 million Instagram followers and 8.5 million TikTok followers.
Her YouTube and TikTok videos have contributed to her rise to fame.
The national park reshared her post and wrote a damning caption.
“Do we really need to say, ‘don’t hit golf balls into the Grand Canyon?’” wrote the account.
The 20-year-old Costa Mesa resident used to like playing soccer when he was younger.
She now receives millions of views on TikTok from videos of her golf swing.
However, she recently ran into legal difficulties for playing golf.
In October, Katie shared a video of herself smashing a golf ball into the Grand Canyon on social media.
“On October 26, an individual posted a video to her personal TikTok page showing her hitting a golf club into the canyon near Mather Point.”
They wrote that the public helped them identify Sigmond, resulting in authorities contacting her for a penalty.
“On October 27, Grand Canyon Law Enforcement identified, located and contacted the individual responsible for the incident.
“Charges and a court appearance for the individual are pending.”
Per AZ Central, Sigmond received three federal notices and was charged with three Class B misdemeanors, including tossing items into the Grand Canyon, littering, and creating hazardous conditions with disorderly conduct.
A $5000 maximum fine and six months in prison are the penalties for these accusations.
Sigmond was told to pay a fine of $285, plus $60 in processing costs.
She was originally told to appear before the U.S. District Court, but she took care of the situation by paying fines to the Central Violations Bureau.
