    Paige Spiranac is a retired professional golf player, fitness enthusiast, podcaster and an actor. The 30-year-old social media influencer is popularly known as ‘bombshell’ in the world of sports. She is also a skilled instructor, recognized for her amazing golf techniques. She has amassed over 7 million followers through her engaging content and bold pictures across social media platforms. Her fan base seems to be ever-growing.

    Spiranac was born to Annette and Dan Spiranac in Wheat Ridge, Colorado and most of her childhood was spent in Monument. Spiranac has an equally talented elder sister, Lexie, who got a scholarship at Stanford and was welcomed as a field and track athlete to their sports team. The Croatian descent influencer and her sister are both blessed with athletic, performance genes. While Spiranac’s mother was a professional ballerina, her father was a Pittsburgh Panther college football team member.

    Taking after her parents, at the age of 6, Spiranac envisioned becoming a gymnast. She even dreamed of competing in the Olympics someday. Spiranac began practicing gymnastics for eight hours a day, six days a week. Around that time, her parents chose to homeschool her so she could focus completely on gymnastics. Her parents understood their child’s needs and relocated to Colorado Springs from Denver to be nearer to the training center. Spiranac managed to jump from the level six category to Elites through her hard work and persistence. Her impeccable performance got her an invite from the USA Gymnastics National Team, Karolyi Ranch. 

    When Spiranac was 12, she suffered a fractured knee cap for the second time, which made her unfit for gymnastics. Her hopes of making it to the Olympics one day shattered in that very moment. But, the courageous girl didn’t give up on herself or  her dreams. Since she didn’t want to quit professional sports, for months, she brainstormed ways to become an athlete. Spiranac then decided to pursue golf and began playing as a junior golfer. Later on, she was made captain of the women's golf team in her college and eventually became a professional golfer. Spiranac is grateful to her parents for their constant support and introducing her to golf at a very young age.

    Spiranac was home-schooled since her parents wanted her to concentrate on gymnastics and excel in it. She then enrolled in the Mesa Distance Learning Program from grade 7th to 12th. After completing her schooling, Spiranac was hired by the Arizona Wildcats at the University of Arizona for their 2011-2012 season. In 2012, she transferred to San Diego State University for graduation in Communications. She, however, didn’t get the degree, and became an internet sensation instead. Spiranac had planned on finishing her last semester, but never did. In an interview she revealed, "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.”

    Tinoco was a “supportive husband” and the duo had a quiet marriage for four years. She revealed about their wedding to her fans in 2022 only after getting divorced. The reason for calling it quits still remains unclear. In an interview, the influencer claimed that due to the "traumatic experience" of divorce she doesn’t want to be married again.

    2021 US Women's Open

    Some onlookers at the 2021 US Women's Open observed that Spiranac had not put anything to support or advertise the tournament.

They apparently asserted that Spiranac is a poor representation of women's golf.

    Private photo leak

    On her 'Ex-Posed' podcasts called 'Playing-A-Round', Spiranac shared that her ex-boyfriend (whose name wasn’t revealed) leaked her private photos online. She claimed she was “blackmailed” for some years after the incident. I went back and forth on which picture to post for this because well this was a really hard episode for me to talk about. It’s all about my nude picture that has been shared around and is on the internet", she said during the podcast. “I decided to pick this picture because I think people see how I am online with this sexy, fun image that I portray and would assume a nude picture to me is nothing. But there’s a distinct difference, one picture I posted, the other I didn’t give consent to be shared," she added. After hearing Spiranac struggle with the unfortunate incident, her fans and followers extended support to the influencer.

    Spiranac was a gymnast who wanted to compete in the Olympics, but had to quick due to fractured knee cap.
