Paige Spiranac, one of the most recognizable figures in golf and social media, continues to make waves beyond the course. With over four million Instagram followers, the 31-year-old former pro-golfer was named Maxim’s World’s Sexiest Woman in 2022, appearing on the magazine’s coveted Hot 100 cover.
Maxim recently revisited that iconic shoot, sharing a throwback post that highlighted Spiranac’s portraits from the feature. Reflecting on the honor, she admitted the recognition didn’t sink in immediately. Speaking to the New York Post, she recalled being stunned when her manager first delivered the news.
Spiranac confessed she remained in disbelief even after the photo shoot and publication. To her, being recognized by a leading fashion magazine was surreal. “I still look at the magazine and can’t believe it happened. It’s truly an honor,” she shared.
Beyond Maxim, Spiranac has graced other major outlets, including Sports Illustrated Swimsuit in 2018 and again in its 2024 Legends issue. While her professional golf career never reached the same heights, her media presence has flourished, with successful ventures on Instagram and her subscription-based platform, Passes, where fans can access exclusive content through tiered memberships.
