Golf influencer and former pro Paige Spiranac‘s latest post proves that even a bad round can come with a dose of self-aware flair.
On Sunday, Spiranac took to X to reflect on what she called a rough outing on the golf course. But rather than focus on her swing mechanics or club selection, she pointed the finger at a surprising culprit: her choice of attire.
“If you’ve been following me for awhile you know I have this working theory that I play better when I wear less clothes,” Spiranac wrote. “Can confirm that science is right once again. I played like [poop emoji] today.”
The tongue-in-cheek comment came alongside a snapshot of Spiranac in a more conservative outfit than usual. She wore a short-sleeved, light gray button-up shirt with thin stripes, black shorts, and white sneakers with yellow accents.
A blue visor, dark sunglasses, and her blonde hair pulled back completed the summer-ready but modest ensemble. According to her, it didn’t help her game.
Fans react to Spiranac’s honest self-assessment
Spiranac‘s post quickly caught fire with fans who enjoy her signature blend of candor and confidence. Many responded with laughing emojis and messages of support, reinforcing her reputation as one of golf’s most relatable personalities.
Known for her bold style and sharp commentary, the 32-year-old golf star has carved out a unique space in the sports world. Spiranac has amassed over four million followers across Instagram and X, where she regularly shares golf tips, reviews equipment, and promotes events and leagues.
While her fashion choices have been both celebrated and criticized over the years, Spiranac has leaned into her platform unapologetically, turning it into a brand that bridges sport, style, and humor.
In addition to her own content, Spiranac is actively involved with the Grass League, a rising Par 3 golf league that emphasizes fun and accessibility. She contributes through media coverage and content creation, further expanding her influence beyond the traditional course.
A few days before her viral “bad round” post, Spiranac addressed an entirely different rumor involving a golf cart mishap. After a video circulated online showing a woman falling from a cart, fans speculated that it might have been her. She swiftly set the record straight:
“This is not me. We all know I wouldn’t be wearing a polo,” Spiranac wrote, joking about her usual outfit preferences and subtly swatting away the case of mistaken identity.
