Paige Spiranac has revealed she’d be interested in stepping back into the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit spotlight, while also offering fans a more personal glimpse into the routines and habits that help her feel confident away from the cameras.
The former professional golfer has already enjoyed two memorable appearances with the publication. She first featured in 2018 after traveling to Aruba for her debut, before returning several years later for the 60th Anniversary Legends edition.
Her appearances have become an important part of her career outside competitive golf, where she has built a huge following through her work as a creator, commentator and golf personality.
When fans asked whether she’d consider another Sports Illustrated Swimsuit appearance, Spiranac made her feelings clear.
“I would be so honored to do @si_swimsuit again!” Spiranac said via her Instagram Story.
“I was lucky enough to appear in two previous issues with one cover. One of the most amazing teams I’ve ever worked with!”
A third appearance, however, would ultimately depend on the opportunity being offered to her. At this time there’s no confirmed announcement of another shoot, although her comments suggest she’d be open to returning if the right opportunity came along.
Her connection with the brand has extended beyond appearing in front of the camera.
Spiranac has previously discussed how meaningful her first Swimsuit experience was and how seeing herself in the finished images helped her during a period when she was dealing with self-confidence issues.
Spiranac’s personal condition for feeling her best
While a potential Swimsuit return continues to generate interest, Spiranac has also been open about the less glamorous side of maintaining confidence and looking after herself.
During a recent question-and-answer session with followers, she explained that managing anxiety requires consistent effort. Exercise is one of her biggest priorities, even when that simply means going for a walk. She also pays attention to her diet and has said that alcohol and sugar can make her anxiety worse.
“Even if it’s just going for a walk, I always have to get my body moving,” said Spiranac.
Therapy is another major part of her routine. Spiranac has previously explained that talk therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy helped her look beyond the immediate pressures of golf and address deeper issues that were affecting her mentally.
She’s also found value in journaling, disconnecting from her phone and confronting situations that make her uncomfortable.
Rather than avoiding anxiety-provoking experiences, she has said that gradually facing them has helped reduce their impact.
Those lessons have also carried over into her approach to golf. Spiranac has acknowledged that the mental side of the sport can be difficult, but working through personal issues in therapy gave her a better foundation for dealing with challenges on the course.
As for future projects, another Sports Illustrated Swimsuit appearance remains a possibility rather than confirmed.
