Paige Spiranac has reached a level of fame with her social media presence than she ever might for her golf skills.
With 5.8 million followers across Instagram and TikTok, the former Division I golfer turns heads on and off the course, letting her audience weigh in on what she wears while sharing golf tips, holiday shoots, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of her life.
She played at the University of Arizona and San Diego State University, competed on the Cactus Tour, and even participated in an LPGA qualifier before stepping away from professional competition.
From golf anxiety to social media stardom
Spiranac has been candid about her struggles with golf anxiety. “I have a really toxic love-hate relationship with the game of golf. It was one of the reasons why I stopped playing professionally,” she said.
Bad rounds often left her feeling defeated, but therapy has helped her manage those emotions. Despite the challenges, her love for the game remains strong, and she knows many fans can relate to the pressure and mental toll of golf.
Transitioning to full-time social media content has been a career game-changer. This week, she repeated the experiment, posting a video on Instagram with the simple caption: “Which golf outfit is your favorite?”
Fans didn’t hold back. “Is there an option for all of the above?” one commented. Another said, “The plaid skirt outfits are top notch,” while others simply praised all her options.
The engagement highlights how much her audience enjoys interacting with her.
However, social media hasn’t been all positive. Spiranac has faced harsh criticism, especially after participating in The Internet Invitational hosted by Barstool Sports and Bob Does Sports. Some accused her of mishandling her ball in tall grass, triggering an intense backlash.
Despite the negativity, Spiranac continues to share her passion for golf and connect with fans online.
