Paige Spiranac has done it again. The former professional golfer sent social media into a frenzy on Tuesday, not once but twice within a single day. Her latest post, a gym selfie showcasing a striking workout ensemble, has fans and followers buzzing with admiration.
Spiranac, who won a Mountain West championship at San Diego State before turning pro in 2016, knows a thing or two about grabbing attention. After competing on the Cactus Tour and in an LPGA Qualifying Tournament, she stepped away from competitive golf. But her connection to the sport remains strong, even if it's complicated.
“So I have a really toxic love-hate relationship with the game of golf. And I have talked about this ad nauseam. It was one of the reasons why I stopped playing golf professionally,” Spiranac shared. “I just could never get over the golf course anxiety. And I would just feel that my mind always won, and I was weak and I could just never overcome that feeling. There’s also something about the game of golf that makes you addicted to it but also makes you feel like the most worthless human being ever when you have a bad round. I’ve been working with a therapist on this. I love golf so much, but sometimes, I just can’t break through. It eats at me, and I know so many others can relate to this.”
Despite no longer competing at the professional level, Spiranac maintains an impressive physique. Her recent workout photo on X (formerly Twitter) showcased her dedication to fitness, and the reaction was immediate. “That’s a smashing workout ensemble Paige,” one fan commented. “Love the workout set Paige,” echoed another. “Looking absolutely stunning as always Paige,” added a third.
The gym selfie came just hours after Spiranac posted a swimsuit selfie on Instagram, which also went viral. It's not the first time her fashion choices have made waves—her camo bikini photo previously broke the internet, and she's no stranger to turning heads with her golf cart style.
While Spiranac enjoys the attention, she's been open about the darker side of social media. “I am in a bit of a funk, a rut if you will, and its not like a one or two day thing,” she admitted. “This has been going on for a little bit. I feel like I’ve just been so in my head about everything and I’m just trying to work through it. I think that’s why I haven’t been posting as much because I am just overthinking everything and I just feel like my anxiety has taken control.”
Despite these struggles, Spiranac continues to engage with her millions of followers, sharing glimpses of her life, fitness routines, and, of course, her fashion sense. Her authenticity resonates with fans who appreciate her candidness about mental health and the pressures of being in the public eye.
As she navigates her post-golf career, Spiranac remains a prominent figure in sports and pop culture. Her ability to spark conversation, whether through her athletic past or her eye-catching outfits, shows no signs of slowing down. Here's hoping she keeps her head held high and continues to inspire both on and off the course.
