Paige Spiranac sets record straight on viral golf video—with a cheeky wardrobe disclaimer
Golf influencer and former NCAA standout Paige Spiranac has once again made headlines, but this time it wasn’t because of a perfect swing—it was a case of mistaken identity that landed her in online rumor.
A recent video featuring a blonde woman tumbling off a golf cart while sipping a drink went viral on X (formerly Twitter), racking up over 2.7 million views in just a few days . The video’s popularity sparked speculation among some viewers, who couldn’t help but wonder… was that Paige herself? The resemblance had fans talking—but Spiranac was quick to quash the rumors.
Taking to X on Saturday, she bluntly clarified: “I would like to clear up the speculation. This is not me,” followed by a playful jab: “We all know I wouldn’t be wearing a polo.” It was a signature move—equal parts straightforward and sassy—that reminded followers why she’s loved for blending golf with personality.
The humor in her response echoes the light-hearted, confident tone she’s brought to her content for years. Spiranac, with more than four million Instagram followers, frequently posts golf content in eye-catching outfits—and her fashion sense has become part of her brand. From cheeky tank tops and tailored skirts to sports luxe ensembles, Paige’s outfits are bold and unapologetic—and that’s exactly how she defuses this mix-up.
This latest incident isn’t the first time she’s addressed online chatter about her clothes. Back in April she laughed off criticism about a “conservative” form‑fitting one‑piece golf outfit, quipping that she thought it was “one of my more conservative looks lol” . And just recently she joked that she actually plays better golf when wearing less—“science” had allegedly confirmed it—after a rough round clad in a polo and shorts.
These wardrobe moments aren’t just for show—they’re deeply intertwined with her identity as a content creator. Spiranac has sunk criticism and body-shaming with confidence, often highlighting her fitness journey and reclaiming her image. Earlier this spring, she responded to trolls by proudly showing off her post-gym physique, emphasizing she’s earned this body—and she’ll show it.
This viral mix-up comes at a time when Paige is firmly in a groove—on and off the course. She’s reflecting on a positive season, celebrating her improving game and renewed passion for golf . She’s also using her voice off-camera, taking stands on golf etiquette—calling for consequences when players don’t repair pitch marks—and mulling over roles in front of the PGA Tour’s cameras.
Yet, even amid these serious roles and positive momentum, she hasn’t lost her playful spark. When misidentified in a goofy viral clip, her quick, cheeky “not me, wouldn’t wear a polo” response was perfect Paigespeak: personable, witty, and confident.
Bottom line: This wasn’t Paige; she made that clear. But she also used the moment to reinforce her brand—poised, polished, and never afraid to lean into her own style. Whether she’s slaying on the greens, schooling fans on course etiquette, or deflecting mix-ups with humor—Paige Spiranac keeps the spotlight precisely where she wants it: on the golf, the glamour, and her unfiltered authenticity.
