But not everyone is on board. The golf influencer is known for taking, erm, provocative pics of herself and often faces a backlash for her choice of attire.

In one recent Instagram Q&A, the social media star clapped back at netizens when they asked her if she’d ever undergone breast augmentation surgery, per Page Six. “No, because they’ve actually gotten a lot bigger. So I can see a lot of people being confused,” she said, before adding, “It’s because I’ve gained weight, but I can see why people question it and are confused sometimes … the human body is a magical thing.”

So who exactly is she, and does she swing a mean club or is it just for the ‘gram? (Hint: she’s actually very good!)

Paige Spiranac comes from a sporting family

Paige Spiranac was born into an athletic family. According to Sportskeeda, her mum Annette was a professional ballerina. She also used to be a bikini and lingerie model.

Paige’s dad Dan, meanwhile, was part of the University of Pittsburgh Panthers American football team and won the national university championship in 1976, states the source. British media reports that Paige’s older sister Lexie is a heptathlete and Taekwondo black belt.

She is a former professional golfer

The 30-year-old is a former golf pro. According to the New York Post, Spiranac went pro for a year after playing at the University of Arizona and San Diego State.

“I was home-schooled. I practised every single day, morning until night. It was my only goal. I was a highly ranked junior golfer and then at 18 I had to make the decision to go to college or turn pro,” she said on her Playing a Round podcast earlier this year. According to Golfweek magazine, she was the top-ranked junior golfer in her home state of Colorado back in 2009.

Now, she works as a golf instructor, sharing her tips on her YouTube channel.

She is a social media sensation

Spiranac, who has starred on the covers of Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Issue and Golf Digest, exploded in popularity across social media when she started posting photos and videos of herself playing golf on different courses.

“I blew up on social media. I didn’t end up going back to be the assistant coach. I didn’t even finish my last semester of college. I never got my degree, which is something that’s so crazy and I’ve never talked about that. I was two credits short of getting my degree,” she said on her podcast.

She co-wrote a children’s book …

Spiranac released a children’s book, Hattie Goes Golfing, with her sister Lexie earlier this year, according to Golf Digest. Aimed at kids aged between three and nine years old, it hopes to provide inspiration for those looking to get into the golfing community.

… and a wall calendar

At the other end of the spectrum, Spiranac also launched a US$30 wall calendar for 2024 to celebrate “365 days of Paige”.

She was previously married to athletic trainer Steven Tinoco in 2018

The influencer was previously married to an athletic trainer by the name of Steven Tinoco. “I wasn’t married for very long and I think that when I initially got divorced, I said I will never get married ever again,” she said on her Playing a Round podcast.

The former couple tied the knot back in 2018, after she “met him at the start of [her] career,” reports the New York Post, and it’s unclear when exactly they split. But her heart is still open for romance in the future. “I believe in love, marriage and soul mates. I believe in finding your person and all of that. I don’t think you should ever let a bad experience taint a good experience in your life,” she explained on her podcast.
