Paige Spiranac makes annnouncement: 'It's been a love/hate relationship...'
Golf social media sensation Paige Spiranac admits she has never played better golf than this season and that she has never been more passionate about the game heading into 2025.
Paige Spiranac has taken to Instagram to reveal she is currently playing the best golf of her life and that she has never been more passionate about the sport heading into 2025.
Spiranac, 31, is now playing off an incredible +4 handicap, testament to her enjoying the best golf of her career.
After a brilliant college career, Spiranac played in a handful of Ladies European Tour events and then attempted to make a career on the LPGA Tour.
But she ultimately came up short in 2016 and decided to make a career for herself on social media and YouTube.
Spiranac also admitted she struggled to cope with the mental side of the game back then.
But things haven't worked out badly for Paige in the slightest as she is now one of the most successful golf social media influencers in the world.
Paige has very much excelled in the golf media industry over the past few years, testament to her having a gigantic 4m followers on Instagram.
That is 500,000 more followers than 15-time major champion Tiger Woods and 1m more than Rory McIlroy, who once again entered the record books on the DP World Tour over the weekend.
Paige is still active on Instagram and X / Twitter but she posts the majority of her latest content on Passes now.

She also has her own YouTube channel where she posts a lot of instruction content, especially for golf beginners.
Some golf fans out there believe Spiranac doesn't post enough golf-specific content, but she aims to put that to bed, especially in 2025.
That's because Paige admits she is playing the best golf of her career right now, playing to a very respectable +4 handicap.
To put Spiranac's achievement into perspective, Rory McIlroy was a +6 handicap when he turned professional.
Tiger Woods was +8 when he was 20.

Spiranac posted on Instagram:
"I’ve been getting asked a lot to post more golf content lol and it’s funny because this is the first year in awhile where I actually practiced hard, played some really cool courses, and fell back in love with the game 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."
Earlier this season, Spiranac competed in the inaugural Creator Classic in association with the PGA Tour.
She shot 2-over par and finished in the middle of the pack.
Last week Spiranac relased her racing-inspired 2025 Wall Calendar in partnership with Craig Jackson Collection.
Each month of her calendar includes two unique full page images.
Spiranac then took to X / Twitter to urge her biggest fans to 'come and pin me up against your wall'.
Unsigned copies are selling for over $1,000, with signed copies for over $2,500.
