Paige Spiranac, a prominent golf influencer, made a generous gesture after her performance at the Barstool Sports Internet Invitational.

Spiranac earned winnings totaling an estimated $15,000 to $16,000. 

And instead of collecting the five figures for herself, Spiranac decided to donate the funds to the Cody "Beef" Franke foundation, according to Barstool’s Francis Ellis.

She made her charitable act shortly after the social media personality found herself embroiled in a cheating scandal. Ellis spoke about Spiranac's generosity during Tuesday's edition of the "Son of a Boy Dad" podcast.

Ellis noted that the foul play accusations that surfaced in the finale of the two-day invitational resulted in her being "beaten up in the dark corridors of the internet."

"I found out through a little birdie that when we all got paid our skins money from the second day, which was $15,000 or $16,000 each, Paige Spiranac donated all of her skins money to Beef’s family," Ellis said.
