You know the internet—it doesn’t take long for a video to go viral, and even less time for conspiracy theories to follow.
This week, golf influencer Paige Spiranac had to step in and clear up a wild rumor sparked by a clip making the rounds online.
A Viral Golf Cart Fail Sparks Confusion
The video, which blew up on X (formerly Twitter) with over 2.7 million views, showed a blonde woman chugging a drink while clinging to the back of a moving golf cart.
The moment quickly turned into a painful-looking fail when she lost her grip and hit the ground hard.
Before long, fans started speculating that the mystery woman was none other than Paige Spiranac.
But Paige, who’s known for poking fun at herself and handling internet chaos like a pro, quickly shut it down.
“This Is Not Me – I’d Never Wear a Polo”
In classic Paige fashion, she took to social media to squash the rumors—adding a bit of humor for good measure.
“I would like to clear up the speculation,” she posted.
“This is not me. We all know I wouldn’t be wearing a polo.”
Case closed.
From Social Media Star to Boardroom Boss
While the viral video wasn’t Paige, the buzz did bring attention back to her real-life big move—announced in May.
She’s officially joined The Grass League, a new high-stakes par-3 golf league, stepping into a leadership role rather than teeing up on the course.
The league, which made its debut last year, features evening competitions at LED-lit courses and a team-based format that blends competitive golf with high-energy entertainment.
Golf’s Most Followed Woman Takes On a Strategic Role
While Paige didn’t reveal her exact title, The Grass League confirmed she’s taking on a “strategic leadership” position.
According to their press release, she’ll be working on everything from brand development and content strategy to business expansion and audience engagement.
The statement described her as “a trailblazer in both professional golf and modern sports media”—and let’s be honest, that’s not an exaggeration.
From LPGA Dreams to Digital Stardom
Though Spiranac never made it to the LPGA Tour, walking away from professional competition turned out to be a savvy move.
Over time, she transformed herself into golf’s most recognizable social media personality, with more than 4 million followers—even surpassing the legendary Tiger Woods in digital reach.
That following translates into serious earning power.
Reports suggest Paige pulls in as much as $10,698 per post—a reminder of just how powerful influence can be in today’s sports landscape.
Turning Fame Into a Future for the Sport
The 32-year-old’s rise as a social media force has been about more than just photos and viral videos.
She’s now channeling that platform into helping build something new in the golf world.
The Grass League hopes her star power and marketing insight will help it grow beyond just a gimmick and into a lasting part of the sport.
What’s Next for Paige?
For now, Spiranac is clearly focused on her off-course career—but as always, she’s doing it on her terms, with humor, confidence, and plenty of style.
Whether she’s putting internet rumors to rest or helping reinvent golf’s future, Paige continues to prove she’s more than just a viral sensation.
