To the surprise of absolutely no one, Paige Spiranac is turning heads this holiday season.
Spiranac was once an All-Mountain West golfer for San Diego State. She then tried to compete on the LPGA Tour before making the transition from professional athlete to content creator. That move ended up being a wise one considering she has enough fans to post exclusive photos and videos on Passes, a subscription-based platform.
Despite being a fan favorite in the golf community for many years, Spiranac lost some support for being involved in a controversy at the Internet Invitational.
“The last week and a half is probably the worst hate I’ve ever received in the ten years of me doing this,” Spiranac said. “I’m talking tens of thousands of death threats, people telling me to kill myself, the most vile, horrendous stuff you could ever say to an individual, that’s been in my DMs to the point where we were discussing me having to potentially get a restraining order. I mean, it’s serious stuff. It’s not easy, and it hasn’t been easy.”
Thankfully, Spiranac has managed to move past the social media hate. She’s back to posting her usual content while ignoring all her critics.

Although Christmas is still two days away, Spiranac couldn’t wait any longer to share a spicy photo shoot on social media.
“Happy Holidays,” Spiranac wrote for her caption.
Spiranac’s post received over 120,000 views and 7,000 likes in just three hours. Clearly, she knew what she was doing ditching her golf attire for a Santa hat.
Golf fans react.
“Happy Holidays,” one fan commented. “You’re officially the reason Santa missed his stop on my chart today.”
“This is not the Santa Claus I remember when I was a little kid,” a second fan joked.
Another fan replied, “Merry Christmas, Paige!”
“Happy Happy Holidays Paige.. I hope you have a wonderful time,” a social media user wrote.
It’s safe to say Spiranac has the golf community in the palm of her hands.
