Paige Renee Spiranac (/spɪˈrænæk/ spi-RANAK; born March 26, 1993) is an American social media personality, golf instructor, and former professional golfer. She played Division 1 college golf at both the University of Arizona and San Diego State University, winning All-Mountain West Conference honors during the 2012–13 and 2013–14 seasons, and leading the Aztecs to their first Mountain West Conference Championship in 2015.
In her freshman year in 2011–2012, Spiranac played golf for the University of Arizona Wildcats. She competed in the Windy City Intercollegiate, the Pac-12/SEC Challenge, and the Wildcat Invitational.
Spiranac debuted on the developmental Cactus Tour at the Las Colinas Club in Queen Creek, Arizona, in May 2016. A win over Hannah O’Sullivan, the then top-ranked amateur in the world, earned Spiranac her only tour victory. In June 2016, Spiranac finished 17th out of 52 golfers at the Aliante Golf Club. In July, she finished in seventh place at Walnut Creek in Mansfield, Texas. Also in July, she made the cut at the Scottish Open in the Ladies' European Tour.
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".
In September 2016, Spiranac finished in a three-way second-place tie at Legacy in Phoenix, Arizona, and she had another top-five finish at Trilogy in October. She ended the season with $8,010 in winnings, which was 11th on the money list.
Spiranac competed in the August/September 2016 CoBank Colorado Women's Open, placing ninth.
In 2017, Spiranac signed with Parsons Xtreme Golf (PXG) to represent its golf clubs on social media and in television ads. That year, she also became a brand ambassador for 18Birdies to help market its golf app nationwide. She has signed deals with Mizzen + Main and Philip Stein Watches.
The LPGA Tour introduced a stricter dress code in July 2017, restricting plunging necklines, leggings, and short skirts. This triggered immediate criticism, characterized by the Fox Sports headline "LPGA slammed for 'slut-shaming' its own players after new dress code restrictions revealed". Spiranac responded in a Fortune magazine op-ed piece days after the LPGA announcement.
Spiranac married athletic trainer Steven Tinoco in 2018. On March 7, 2022, she announced that she was no longer married.
Spiranac has been featured in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition and Golf Digest. She writes a monthly column in Golf Magazine, with her first article published in the December 2018 issue.
In February 2020, Spiranac started a podcast called Playing-A-Round with Paige Renee.
In 2021, Spiranac joined global sportsbook operator PointsBet as a brand ambassador, on-air personality, and a "significant" equity stakeholder.
In June 2022, Spiranac was named 'Sexiest Woman Alive' in the Maxim's 2022 Hot 100 list, the first athlete to attain the No.1 spot.
Spiranac has been described as golf's top social media influencer. As of October 2023, she has 3.9 million Instagram followers and 359 thousand YouTube subscribers. In July 2023, Spiranac launched a subscription-based website called OnlyPaige, which features golf instructional videos, livestreams, and vlogs.
