“Do we really need to say to not hit golf balls into the Grand Canyon?”: Paige Spiranac’s Arch-Rival Katie Sigmond Can Face Six Months Prison Time For Taking Golfing Too Far to Beat World’s Sexiest Woman
To the dismay of her fans, famous TikTok Golfer Katie Sigmond got into trouble with the law a few months ago. Sigmond has millions of followers on TikTok and Instagram. And due to her huge fanbase, the golfer gets endorsements and brand deals frequently.
The 20-year-old’s golf swing techniques and her fashionable appearance are primarily the reason behind her fame. She is considered the “rival” of a former professional golfer Paige Spiranac. Spiranac is herself a social media personality with a few more followers than her younger “rival”.
A few months ago Sigmond posted another video of herself golfing that was not received well. The video showed some of Sigmond’s hits going straight into the Grand Canyon National Park. Soon, through the help of the public, the social media personality was contacted by authorities for a penalty.
TikTok Golfer Katie Sigmond’s Trouble With the Law
Back in October, a video was posted by Katie Sigmond of herself golfing. It was supposed to be regular content for her TikTok fans and viewers. And with around 7 million followers on the app, her videos get millions of likes every time.
However, this particular video was not received well by the viewers. In the video, Sigmond is visibly hitting her gold ball straight into the Grand Canyon National Park.
The park is a protected area and therefore such disturbances are not welcomed and may even lead to 6 months of jail time. Soon after the Park’s social media account reposted the video criticizing her careless attitude. They wrote, “Do we really need to say, ‘don’t hit golf balls into the Grand Canyon?’”
And after that, a person also uploaded a video where the TikTok golfer is visible hitting the balls into the park’s premises. Following that Sigmond was identified by authorities for a penalty with the help of the public.
The Grand Canyon Law Enforcement located and contacted the golfer. She was charged with a ‘Class B misdemeanor’ which includes tossing things into the national park. And at first, Sigmond was ordered to be present at the U.S. district court. However, she resolved that by paying a fine of 250 dollars to the Central Violations Bureau. Currently, she has a clean record as she cleared all her legal charges.
