The stunning social media influencer did not have any interest in the sport during a 10-year career as a fashion model, which included work for Guess Jeans.

But a chance golf-related photoshoot in October 2020 changed the trajectory of her modeling career.

Teresi, 28, immediately fell in love with the sport and booked herself into a golf lesson the following day.

Her social media following climbed rapidly as she posted more golf content.

She then went viral in June 2021, when she released a video of herself driving the ball while dressed in a pair of black, thigh-high boots, tiny shorts, and a crop top.

Taylor Funk, son of eight-time PGA Tour winner Fred Funk, recommended that she try posting a golf shot online while in a barely-there outfit.

Soon enough, the likes of boxer Canelo Alvarez and Hollywood actor Bill Murray were among her fans.

Thanks to her glam content, Teresi has now secured 1.5million followers on Instagram, one million on Twitter, and a further 332,000 on TikTok.

“Four years ago I never had even picked up a golf club,” Teresi told The U.S. Sun in an exclusive interview. 

“Life is crazy, you really never know what opportunities will come. 

“I’m very thankful I said yes to that golf photoshoot a few years ago. 

“I’m a very open-minded person and this has certainly allowed me to expand my business. 

“Playing golf has certainly given me an advantage in my career.”

Teresi has a 15 handicap and her golf sponsors include the likes of GolfLync and Epic Golf.

And she believes her background as a model has enabled her to stand out as a female golf influencer.

“Coming from the modeling world, I’ve always felt empowered with being strong and sexy, so it was easy for me to bring a bit of that energy to the world of golf,” she said. 

“I think female golf influencers have definitely expanded the game for the better. 

“I love that I have encouraged more young women to take up golf and feel empowered.”

In recent years, the female golf influencer space has become more competitive and crowded.

Alongside Teresi, other female golf influencers include Paige Spiranac, Grace Charis, Karin Hart, and McKenzie Graham.

But she welcomes the growing number of women in golf.

“It’s not crowded at all. The more, the merrier,” she said. 

“I think it’s amazing that more women are interested in golf and are able to make a career out of it.”

Teresi says that she planned to become a lawyer growing up but she left university early after being scouted as a model.

She has since completed a degree in political science from Liberty University.

Teresi says she is now focused on improving her golf game and having fun.

But she is keeping an eye out for future career opportunities.

“I work hard at everything I do. When I put my mind to something, I do it,” she said. 

“It’ll be interesting to see what I decide to do next.

“Anything is possible.”
