The golf world is buzzing, and it’s not just because the U.S. Open tees off Thursday morning. Paige Spiranac, the former college golfer turned social media sensation, has her fans absolutely fired up after dropping a jaw-dropping photo from Shinnecock Hills on Wednesday afternoon.
Dressed in a head-turning outfit that perfectly blends style and sport, Spiranac captioned the post, “Wednesday at the US Open⛳️.” The image quickly spread like wildfire, with fans flooding the comments section with praise. One fan wrote, “Looks like a beautiful day for golf! The scenery is incredible 🤩🇺🇸🎉,” while another added, “Paige turning heads and causing whiplash at the U.S. Open! ⛳️😍⛳️.” A third simply exclaimed, “Holy smokes! Incredible.”
Spiranac, who played collegiately at the University of Arizona and San Diego State before transitioning into sports media, has become one of golf’s most influential personalities. Her ability to connect with fans and bring a fresh, energetic vibe to the sport is on full display this week. She’s not just here to watch—she’s here to be part of the action, and her followers are loving every moment.
Meanwhile, the 2026 U.S. Open promises to be a thrilling event. Scottie Scheffler enters as the favorite, but Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm are lurking as serious contenders. Brooks Koepka, who won the U.S. Open the last time it was held at Shinnecock Hills in 2018, is a popular longshot pick at 36-1 odds. Koepka had to withdraw from last week’s RBC Canadian Open due to a hand injury, but he’s confirmed he’ll play at Shinnecock.
Spiranac’s photo drop comes at the perfect time, adding an extra layer of excitement to an already stacked tournament. Her fans are clearly ready for the first round, and so is she. “She’s ready,” as the caption says, and the internet agrees.
For those looking to get in on the action, NBC will have full coverage of the U.S. Open on Thursday and Friday, with the weekend rounds to follow. Who’s your pick to win? Whether you’re rooting for Scheffler, McIlroy, or a dark horse like Koepka, one thing’s for sure: this year’s U.S. Open is shaping up to be unforgettable.
