Who is Paige Spiranac? 

A pro-golfer, a model, and a social media influencer—not many can list all three in their career, but Paige Spiranac can. An ex-pro-golfer who chose the path of content creation to spread the understanding of golf and bring the sport closer to the audience. Paige Renee Spiranac is a former golfer turned social media sensation. Born on March 26th, 1993, the now 30-year-old is one of the most followed golf influencers in the world, despite her professional disassociation with the sport in 2016.

Paige Spiranac's early life and family

With sports running deep in her veins, Paige Spiranac was born in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, to a family of three. She was welcomed home by her father, Dan, her mother, Annette, and an older sister, Lexie. Growing up, Paige fancied an interest in professional gymnastics. However, an unfortunate accident at age 12 forced her to quit her dreams off the mat and pushed her toward the course. She further pursued her interest in golf at the University of Arizona and San Diego State University from 2011 to 2015.

Paige was married to her long-term boyfriend, Steven Tinoco. Paige met her husband, a former minor league baseball player and athletic coach, in 2016, and the duo got married in 2018. But in 2022, on her podcast, Playing A Round, she revealed that she and her ex-husband are now divorced.
