Paige Spiranac has been noticeably quieter online in recent weeks. The golf influencer who boasts a following of 4 million on Instagram and 1.1 million on TikTok has left fans wondering why one of the sport’s most visible personalities has suddenly slowed down. Now, while she recently admitted to dealing with anxiety and overthinking, a bigger frustration has left her bothered yet again. As a thread of fabricated stories has been attached to her name, she has decided to take a strong stand against them, including one which wrongly attached her name to Charlie Woods.

An infuriated Spiranac lashed out on a recently shared post, as she pointed towards a news headline and stated, “Now this one is just straight crazy town, and should be illegal to write this, because they’re claiming that Tiger Woods is disappointed that his son Charlie Woods, who I might add is not 18 years old, is in a relationship with me, and the confirmation is this AI picture of us together. There were over 300 comments on this, and I got so many messages about it. This should be illegal. You should not be able to write and post things like this. Absolutely insane.”

During a recent interaction with followers, Spiranac addressed several viral claims that spiraled across the internet. Among the most extreme was a digitally altered image suggesting she was romantically involved with Tiger Woods’s 18-year-old son, Charlie Woods. As the fake news garnered attention from netizens, the false rumor spread immediately. Despite having no factual basis and being driven largely by AI-generated visuals and misleading headlines, it gained a lot of traction..

However, that was not all. Several other headlines left her extremely dissatisfied. Statements she never said were wrongly circulated as her words. The most frustrating ones, she explains, twist innocent comments (like wearing athletic shorts under skirts) into sexualized narratives she never actually said.

One even mentioned how she has a hidden affair with Tiger Woods. At the same time, another narrated a tale about how Spiranac had rejected a $30 million offer from Elon Musk. But Spiranac shared how she has never even met Musk.

The golf influencer, who is 14 years older than the teenage golfing phenom, Charlie Woods, expressed concern over how easily manipulated content can be accepted as real by many. She highlighted the act as ‘illegal’ as the situation crossed a line from gossip into something harmful.

Now, amid her break from the social media realm, Spiranac has also shared how she has often battled mental health issues. And while reflecting on the same, she opened up about a deeply personal struggle.

Just days back, Paige Spiranac reflected on how she is making sure to take care of her mental well-being. However, she also shared how, behind her glamorous presence on social and the golf course, she has a different battle to fight.

On February 10, Paige shared an Instagram update where she shared, “I’ve seen so many sports psychologists, and the mental side of golf just truly ate me alive, and l’ve tried everything. So I recommend just finding what works best for you. There are books out there, there are so many different philosophies, there’s not one size that fits all.”

She opened up about her struggles in a Q&A session on Instagram, where a fan asked her about how she works on the mental side of the game. Previously, too, the 32-year-old gold influencer has been open about her mental health struggles. She shared how she has resorted to talk therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, and how reflecting on her own self has helped her the most.
