“I have a really toxic love-hate relationship with the game of golf,” was what Paige Spiranac once said. Her attempts at reigning in the game early on in life failed. So she detoured, chose a career better suited to her personality, and it will not be wrong to say that she is excelling in it. A single photo drop on social media can leave her 4 million followers gasping for breath. The new post is one such example.

Spiranac, taking to X, posted a stunning selfie of herself in a golf cart. Her golf bag can be seen in the background, as Spiranac smiles heartedly at the camera, wearing a white top and dark grey pants. The caption for the picture says, “Played terribly today but at least my outfit was cute😬.”

In just a few hours, the picture received 46k+ views, with several thousand likes and hundreds of comments. Fans have their jaws on the floor with the number of comments increasing every single minute. This is not new for Spiranac at all.

Posting on both her X and Instagram accounts, Spiranac could be seen wearing a short white dress and holding a small megaphone that reads, “Are you looking at my putt?” The post has more than 50k likes across both her platforms.

Most of these snaps are captured at golf courses, where she regularly tees off to hone her golfing skills. Now 32, a young Spiranac has played in NCAA Division I golf at Arizona and San Diego State early on in her career. She had earned All-Mountain West honors twice while playing for the Aztecs. Less than a decade ago, she debuted on the Cactus Tour and had also competed in LPGA qualifiers. However, the mental toll of the game eventually caught up with her, and she decided to call it a career.

“I just could never get over the golf course anxiety. And I would just feel that my mind always won, and I was weak, and I could just never overcome that feeling,” noted the model cum influence who was recently enjoying her time at the Grass League 2025 event.

Coming from a highly athletic family, Paige Spiranac felt an unspoken pressure to make her mark in the sports world. Her father, Dan, played championship football for the University of Pittsburgh. Her mother, Annette, was a professional ballerina, and her sister earned an athletic scholarship to Stanford.

However, life had something else in store for Spiranac.

With a 1.87% engagement rate and about 75,000 likes per post, Paige Spiranac has built a loyal following of golf fans. Her YouTube channel, with 461K subscribers, features golf tips and vlogs that often reach millions of views.

However, success brought challenges. Fake accounts using her name have scammed fans for money and favors. To combat this, Paige launched her own subscription site, OnlyPaige, offering exclusive content, and now also shares on Passes for her dedicated followers.

Still, Spiranac often comes on her social media platforms to share a glimpse of her life, as fans continue to ask for more.

Fans can’t keep cool over Spiranac’s hot new post

Of course, the comment sections of all of her posts are filled with fans frantically typing praises for Paige Spiranac. While some of them are generic trolls, the majority are Spiranac’s loyal base, in awe of their favorite. So when Spiranac said she did not play a good golf in the new post, many were quick to uplift her. Let’s examine some of the comments.

“You may have lost the game, but you won Instagram,” one fan noted. Spiranac currently has more than 600 posts on the meta account, drawing more followers every single second. She is consistently among the top 5,000 most-followed Instagram accounts worldwide in the sports category. Moreover, she has a 1.86% likes-to-followers ratio and achieved a peak daily follower growth of +0.03% which is considered “good.” According to data, her estimated monthly earnings through Instagram could be $11,000-$15,000. Indeed, she has won Instagram.

Then some fans could not get tired of appreciating the golf influencer’s face card, as one of them wrote: “You’re absolutely stunning beauty.” Just a few years ago, in 2022, Spiranac was named Maxim’s “Sexiest Woman Alive” and the first athlete to top the Hot 100 list. On the same lines, another fan said, “A piece of heaven, must be a delight to be you.”

“Wearing feel-good attire definitely brings you confidence 😃😍,” was another user’s remark. While Spiranac’s work in the golf world is noteworthy in itself, she also does not shy away from doing multiple interesting challenges on her social media. Days ago, she posted a picture of herself dressed as Scooby Doo’s Velma, announcing a new challenge for Halloween. As per the challenge, she would be wearing 31 costumes in 31 days starting on October 1. The costumes would not be a repeat, and all this exclusive content could be captured on her Passes account. “It’s that time of year again🎃,” the caption of the post read. Echoing the sentiment, another fan chimed in, “My Barbie doll is always cute 😍.”

Another fan, agreeing to her caption, wrote, “Yes indeed! However, your game better get better quick by this Monday because you’re the special guest at the Celebrity Chef’s outing at Montclair GC for City Harvest!” Spiranac is set to attend the sixth annual Celebrity Chefs & Friends Golf and Tennis Tournament Benefiting City Harvest on October 6. Hosted by Annika Sorenstam, there will be a huge list of popular names like Patrick McEnroe, Kwame Onwuachi, Simon Kim, and many more. The event is conducted to raise money for supporting City Harvest’s work in providing free, nutritious food for New Yorkers in need

All in all, Paige didn’t say whether her time on the course was teasing a new project, a video, or just a casual round of golf. But whatever the reason, her latest pictures were enough to send fans into a frenzy.
