Golf sports are one of the most competitive areas that any athlete could break into.
Only a handful of golfers come to PGA or LPGA trips. Some are stuck in the Korn Ferry Tour or Epson Tour, while others go towards green grassland with life golf.
Golfers like Tisha Alyn have found another way to influence the sport of becoming one of the most followed influences in the sport. Alyn boasts more than 1.3 million followers at Tiktok and another 519,000 followers on Instagram – tracks competing with Paige Spiranac, Grace Charis and others.

Alyyn picked up the sport when she was 3 years old and started competing when she was 7. She has been all over the country from Junior Golf to NCAA Division 1 with Cal State Fullerton – and it has never been about anything else.
“Golf was always my main,” Alyn told Pakinomist Digital in a recent conversation. “I also used to be a competitive dancer, and for everyone who follows me or knows something about me, I show some fun dance trends and what not, but in addition golf was always my main focus.
“For those who are not so familiar with golf, it really takes you all. It’s a long sport that takes time on your day, and it’s one of these sports because it’s a low impact you can do it and do it so long. So my parents their goals for me were always competing at a high level, playing at a high level, achieving a scholarship, so golf was always for me.”
Alyyn said she played professionally from 2015 to 2018, but getting funding to continue playing at a high level took her toll. She said she made a greater focus on growing her social media just around scheduled schedules like Instagram reached its peak.
She said she hoped she could use social media to earn sponsorships and other paid opportunities.

“Da jeg gik på min professionelle golfkarriere, voksede det i tandem med sociale medier på samme tid. Kom 2018, da jeg stoppede, gik jeg igennem skader, jeg gik gennem en masse personlige ting,” sagde hun, “Jeg tænkte, ‘Jeg synes, det er tid til at sætte posen ned, holde op med at spille professionelt og forfølge sociale medier,’ fordi jeg ser noget virkelig stort her, og jeg altid var ret godt til at finde tendenser og se, hvad der så vil være det, der vil være That, it will be this.
“And I knew at the time, even though there wasn’t so influencer or personality as if we didn’t have words to it, but I knew social media was here to stay. You know to look at where we’re now, it’s basically it tried and true. That’s where you go for all things media. So I like to say I chose the right way after putting the bag down.”
Pursuing a career with a mindset on social media is completely different from making one.

A lot of time is spent creating and making content and keeping a positive mindset is something that anyone who is extremely online is. With all the positive things that come with a successful entrepreneurial career, the setback comes that anyone would meet on social media.
Alyn, like Spiranac, gets her share of social media scales in her mentions. She told Pakinomist Digital that the key for her was to stay focused on her goal.
“Staying focused on your own path and your own career I think is everything, and I’m someone who is pretty feisty compared to my friends and friends around me, so I’m not afraid to put a fight or say what I feel when people especially come to me,” she said. “I know I don’t have the worst of other people in my world. I’m good friends with Paige and she really deals with it and I always tell her every time I see her that you have the thickest skin … We don’t wake up with a following right.
“So when you grow in it, you cultivate the thick skin with it. I can’t imagine those who have been a hit wonders, how it must be for them to suddenly be criticized in front of the world, but for me I just grown to wipe it off, you know dust it from shoulder most hurtful.

“I mean that to me means the world,” Alyn said in response. “I’ve been able to work with Annika a couple of times, so we have a type of working relationship there, but to get this confirmation from someone who is literally a legend in the game, I think it means everything.
“There is still a lot you know, believe that influences and personalities are in the room, but I think for those who do it right, I would say I think I do it the right way to try to inspire and try to grow. I think it is here to stay and I think Annika sees it and she uses social media. World. “
