Paige Spiranac brought a splash of sunshine to the fairways this week, dazzling fans at the U.S. Women's Open in a stunning canary yellow dress. The former golf pro turned social media sensation arrived at Riviera Country Club in California on Wednesday, turning the pre-tournament buzz toward her vibrant outfit as much as the upcoming competition.
Spiranac shared her excitement on X, posting a photo of herself at the iconic course with the caption, “U.S. Women’s Open is at Riviera CC this week! Can’t wait to tune in.” The post quickly drew a flurry of reactions from fans who were just as eager to see her as the action on the greens. One admirer wrote, “Beautiful course and beautiful Paige. Hopefully see you there!” while another asked, “Have fun. Who you picking?” A third fan wondered if she’d be providing live commentary, adding, “It’s a fun course! Are we getting some live commentary?”
Spiranac’s appearance isn’t her first brush with the spotlight this year. She recently opened up about a humbling moment on the course, proving even the most seasoned players have room to learn. But this week, all eyes are on her style as she trades clubs for couture.
The 2026 U.S. Women’s Open features a 156-player field that includes the last 10 champions, with reigning winner Maja Stark looking to defend her title. But the headliner is undoubtedly Nelly Korda, who captured the Chevron Championship in April for her third major victory. Korda is chasing her first U.S. Women’s Open title, and oddsmakers are giving her a massive edge. According to OddsChecker, Korda sits at +425, far ahead of Jeeno Thitikul at +950 and well clear of the rest of the field, most of whom are listed at 14-1 or longer.
Korda’s dominance has made her the story of the season, and many believe this could be her moment to add another major to her resume. The stage is set at Riviera, a course that demands precision and power—two traits Korda has in spades. As the tournament tees off Thursday, all eyes will be on the world No. 1, even as Spiranac’s yellow dress steals some of the pre-round thunder.
Spiranac’s presence adds a layer of star power to an already stacked event. The 2026 U.S. Women’s Open is shaping up to be a showcase of talent, drama, and fashion, with Spiranac proving that golf’s appeal extends far beyond the scorecard. Whether she’s picking Korda to win or just enjoying the scenery, one thing is clear: the yellow dress has already secured its place in tournament lore.
