While no one will ever accuse Paige Spiranac of not having a good time, the red-hot golf influencer says she is making a change for 2025.
The 31-year-old blonde bombshell shared during a Q&A session on social media Sunday that she wants to shake things up in the new year.
Spiranac said that she was “overthinking” some of her posts this past year and wants to get “back to just having fun” when the calendar flips over.
“I always try to be my most authentic self on here but felt I started overthinking my posts this year,” Spiranac replied to a fan during the Q&A who had told her, “Just be you in the raw. A kickass golfer with a beautiful smile and personality.”
Spiranac added that “next year, I’m going to go back to just having fun.”
The former collegiate and pro golfer has said that she’s looking to post more tips on her social media feeds, which boast more than five million followers across her platforms.
In November she said that she has “been getting asked a lot to post more golf content” and recently was named part of the PGA Tour’s Creator Council – a group of well-known influencers that was made with the aim of helping the game reach “a new fan base, a next generation of fans that want to consume content and learn about golf in general through different channels in different ways,” said Andy Weitz, the PGA Tour’s chief marketing & communications officer/investor relations.
As for Spiranac, she says that her passion for the game has only grown in 2024.
“It’s funny because this is the first year in a while where I actually practiced hard, played some really cool courses, and fell back in love with the game,” she shared on Instagram last month.
“I played more this year than I have in a long time and honestly, playing better than ever. I’ve always loved golf, but it’s been a love/hate relationship, which I’m sure we can all relate to at times lol. My scores were always tied into my self-worth, and playing just wasn’t that much fun. Until this year. I’m so passionate about the game and I should’ve shared more of that on here! I’m going to do that moving forward.”
She also has been linked with a potential role in the sequel to cult comedy classic Happy Gilmore.
When reports surfaced that a sequel was in development for the 1996 movie, which starred Adam Sandler, Spiranac threw her hat in the ring with a post on social media.
Spiranac also has become much more outspoken about social issues in recent months, particularly about those who are critical of women embracing their sexuality and the double-standard around it.
She reposted a tweet about Sabrina Carpenter from September which complimented the pop singer for embracing her sexuality while reaching a mainly female audience.
“Sabrina Carpenter is genius for how she embraces her sexuality but still keeps women as her target audience,” read the tweet by another X user named Paige.
“Like how is she performing in lingerie and I still feel like it’s not for men at all? I can’t comprehend it, but I love it.”
Spiranac, who aims more for a male audience with her social-media content, replied: “I dislike how women pick and choose when it’s okay to support other women for embracing their sexuality depending on if it appears to be for the female or male gaze.
“Women should be able to embrace their sexuality if that’s what makes them feel empowered,” she continued. “One shouldn’t be called a genius while the other is called an attention whore for doing the same exact thing.”
In response to complimentary reply to the post, Spiranac added that her statement was about more than just her own experience.
“This isn’t really even about me. It’s a constant theme I keep seeing with other women too,” she wrote.
