Paige Spiranac knows how to get the golf world talking, and her latest social media post is no exception. The popular influencer and former college golfer recently shared a selfie from the course that has fans hitting the like button in droves.
In the photo, Spiranac is seated in a golf cart, rocking a sleek black golf dress and flashing a warm smile. The caption? Just a simple smiley face emoji. But that was all it took to send her followers into a frenzy on X (formerly Twitter).
Fans Can't Get Enough
The comments section quickly filled with adoration. One fan joked, “I would not play Paige in golf you would just beat me!” while another praised her look: “A nice picture of you and your smile and hair looks amazing.” Others chimed in with compliments about her signature grin and swing, with one fan noting, “Two big things I like about Paige Spiranac: 1. Her smile 2. Her swing.” The reaction was summed up by a simple “Insane” from another follower.
This isn't the first time Spiranac has sparked a social media storm. She recently shared her thoughts on golf's most debated rule, showing she's never shy about weighing in on the game's hot topics.
Behind the Smile: A Battle with Anxiety
While the photo radiates confidence, Spiranac has been open about her recent struggles. She previously took a step back from social media, explaining that she was in a “funk” and battling anxiety. “I feel like I’ve just been so in my head about everything and I’m just trying to work through it,” she said. “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.”
She added that she’s pushing herself to post more and get back to her usual routine, and this latest viral selfie seems to be a positive step in that direction.
What's Next for Paige?
Fans won't have to wait long to see Spiranac back in action. She’s set to tee it up at the second annual Internet Invitational later this summer, which boasts a massive $4 million prize. It’s a high-stakes event that has already generated buzz in the golf community.
Spiranac, who played at the University of Arizona and San Diego State University before a brief professional stint, continues to be one of the most influential figures in the sport. Whether she's sharing a casual course selfie or reacting to the power and tempo at the Women's U.S. Open, her followers are always locked in.
For now, the internet’s obsession with her latest photo shows no signs of slowing down. And with her honesty about mental health and her return to competition on the horizon, Spiranac is proving she’s more than just a pretty swing — she’s a resilient force in the golf world.
