The 2025 PGA Tour season has been the best for Sepp Straka. He has won the American Express and the Truist Championship. In the latter, he scored 16 under par to outperform Justin Thomas and Shane Lowry. The four-time PGA Tour winner wouldn’t have accomplished all this without the support of his wife, Paige Dean Straka.

The Truist Championship winner even shared a post on Instagram after his first PGA Tour win. “Can’t describe the feelings of getting my first tour win. It was an incredible week and I couldn’t be happier to share it with all these special people. Thank you @thehondaclassic for hosting such a great event. Couldn’t have done it without such an amazing team around me,” he captioned the post.
This caption highlights the importance of her wife and the support she offers for his career. Sepp has shared many Instagram posts about his wife, stating how lucky he feels to have her in his life. But besides supporting Sepp, Paige also has a profession of her own.

While completing her graduation, she worked as a sales manager from August 2012 to January 2015. She joined Ernst & Young (EY) as an intern after her bachelor’s. Her internship with one of the most popular counseling companies lasted for four months, from January to April 2015. This internship gave her a solid start in the demanding financial field.
Paige returned to EY in July 2016 as a Staff Tax Accountant after working for around a year as a Martin Fellow at Auburn University’s Office of Professional and Continuing Education. She worked there until July 2018 before moving to Medical Properties Trust.
Her last professional change was in 2020, when she started working for Southern Veterinary Partners as an acquisition manager. She was also promoted to the post of senior acquisition manager in October 2022. The company manages many veterinary hospitals across the United States.
While she is doing wonders in her professional life, her personal life is also remarkable. Both she and the American Express winner have enjoyed fruitful and romantic personal lives ever since they started dating.

Sepp and Paige Dean Straka’s romantic life
Their love story began because of a game, but it was not golf. Sepp Straka met Paige Dean in 2017 at the Sky Bar in Auburn while watching a football match. Sepp was studying and playing golf at the University of Georgia, whose football team was up against Auburn University. He went to see the match with a friend, whose then-girlfriend was there with Paige. Since they were supporting opposing teams, their first encounter was filled with banter, and that created a spark between the two, according to his wife.

“We antagonised each other that entire first night and the night after. Is it weird that I liked the banter back and forth? Honestly, I think that’s what sparked the connection, that and some encouragement from great friends. Before we knew it, we were meeting each other’s families at Christmas,” Paige Dean Straka told Colorbox Photography.
The two dated each other for three years before Sepp proposed to her at Gianmarco’s Wine Bar. Reflecting on the experience, Paige said, “Man, did he surprise me! I never thought there was a reality where I would be surprised at my proposal.”

Paige said yes to the proposal, and the two got engaged in 2020, followed by their marriage in 2021. In December 2023, the couple welcomed their first child, Leo, into the world. Paige has supported Sepp through the highs and lows of his career. Paige supported her in the 2023 Ryder Cup and could do it once again as Sepp plays at Bethpage Black in his second Ryder Cup appearance.
