Paige Spiranac

With 3.6 million followers on Instagram, with beautiful photos and updates on her work, Paige Spiranac is one of the most popular influencers and sportsmen of the moment.

Spiranac was born in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, to a family of Croatian descent. Her father, Dan, was a member of the University of Pittsburgh Panthers football team, which won the 1976 national college championship.

Spiranac debuted on the developmental Cactus Tour at the Las Colinas club in Queen Creek, Arizona, in May 2016. In her third start, a sudden-death win at Scottsdale's Orange Tree Country Club over Hannah O’Sullivan, the then top-ranked amateur in the world, earned Spiranac her first tour win.

In August 2016, Spiranac competed in her first LPGA Qualifying Tournament, but did not earn a card to play on the professional circuit. In 2022, discussing Marshall football's upset of Notre Dame, she joked Notre Dame is as bad as I was playing professional golf.

Spiranac has been featured in magazines such as the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition and Golf Digest. She began writing a monthly column in Golf Magazine, with the December 2018 issue.

In June 2022, Spiranac was named as the Se*iest Woman Alive in the Maxim's 2022 H*T 100 list and she was the first athlete to attain the No.1 spot in the Hot 100 list. In January 2023, Spiranac launched the OnlyPaige website, which offers subscriber-only content, including instructional content and never-before-seen photos.

Spiranac was married to Steven Tinoco. On March 7, 2022, she announced that she was no longer married.
