Charlie Woods can do with a lot fewer eyes on him. None other than Paige Spiranac, the celebrity influencer, feels so. The 30-year-old golf beauty took to X (formerly Twitter) to express her dissatisfaction toward the golf community after the younger Woods failed in his bid to qualify for a PGA Tour event. But the matter was made worse because of an undue amount of attention lavished on the 15-year-old.

Spiranac feels the golf world needs to cut him some slack. “How about we let Charlie Woods develop his game without constant media coverage. Golf is mentally challenging enough without all the added eyeballs on him and pressure.” Woods Jr. carded 16-over 86 in the first round of the pre-qualifier for the Cognizant Classic (earlier known as the Honda Classic) in Hobe Sound, Florida. The top five players and ties advanced to the Monday qualifying round of the tournament.

The 15-year-old, who has regularly appeared with his father, Tiger Woods, at the PNC Championship, started his round with an 11-over 47 in the front nine. But a costly 12 on the par-4 seventh hole sealed his fate. Although Charlie Woods made 11 pars, that wasn’t enough to save the day, which also included 2 bogeys and a double bogey on the back nine.

His round was closely monitored, with every shot being put under the scanner on social media. Paige Spiranac feels it’s not right to put that much pressure on a 15-year-old golfer, especially when it was technically a qualifier for a qualifier event, and stated, “It was a pre qualifier for the Monday qualifier. A lot of juniors play in pre quals and Mondays for experience. It’s not uncommon at all.”

Teenage Woods’ swing was a matter of much debate, considering how closely it resembles his father’s. Moreover, Woods Jr. bombed a 300-yard drive at the 2023 PNC Championship and has been winning silverware for his school as well. All that led to huge anticipation around Charlie Woods. “Don’t compare him to me,” said Tiger Woods on an episode of Another Golf Podcast. “He’s not me, he’s Charlie, okay? He’s going to be his own person. Whatever road he goes down, he’s going to go down his own road, and he’s going to create his own path.”

The 15-time Major champion may have made this clear. However, carrying the Woods name and being in the spotlight, with every move he makes being scrutinized, is something Charlie might just have to live with. So, after Paige Spiranac expressed her thoughts on the treatment Charlie Woods is getting, another user compared his situation to Gary Nicklaus.

“For Tiger Woods’ son to attempt a career as a professional golfer is fraught with unfair comparisons and a virtually impossible mountain to climb… Just ask Gary Nicklaus,” they wrote. Notably, it wasn’t just the media coverage that Woods Jr. had to battle, as on-ground reports revealed an ugly show from the spectators.

Unruly fans add to Charlie Woods’ woes
First off, Tiger Woods wasn’t there; the 15-time Major champion recently withdrew from the Genesis Invitational – a tournament he hosts – with the flu that later turned out to be influenza. Mother Elin Nordegren was present, though. With all the attention Charlie’s getting, there were around 50 fans tagging the 15-year-old, completely disregarding requests from field marshals. The Palm Beach Post reported that one fan even retorted, “Who are you? The fire marshal?”

There was no dearth of autograph hunters as well, with some taking Tiger Woods’ book to get a sign from his son. This isn’t an uncommon occurrence, though – people wanting his autograph, that is. Earlier, his school coach also revealed that the 15-year-old draws a huge crowd whenever news of him teeing up gets out. But this time, only one of his friends and two security details were there to protect him instead of his entire Benjamin School team. Nevertheless, Woods Jr. maintained a graceful appearance that would perhaps get a pat from Paige Spiranac.

Upon noticing the change in her appearance, someone in the forum asked about her dietary regimen and exercise routine to maintain a figure like hers. Paige immediately felt flattered by the question and, with the freshness and naturalness that characterize her, not only shared that she has recently lost 12 pounds, but also revealed in a video how she has achieved it and how others can too.

Paige Spiranac flattered to inspire others
In a recent interview with The U.S. Sun at The SI Invitational, Spiranac expressed her delight in seeing others follow in her career footsteps, stating: “It’s unbelievably flattering that everyone sees the path that I have taken and have been really successful doing so, and they want to do the same thing.” She mentioned names like Bri Teresi, Grace Charis, Waiyi Chan, and Karin Hart who have also gained fame by posting similar content to hers.

Spiranac disclosed that her initial aim was to encourage more women to take up golf: “When I first began, I was pioneering without a clear path, so I had to navigate my own way through. My ultimate goal in all of this was to create a more inclusive golfing community and to see more women involved in the sport.” Her efforts have undeniably played a part in opening up more opportunities for women within the golfing industry.

Despite the rising success of fellow golfing influencers, Spiranac stressed that she doesn’t let competitiveness influence her mindset. She voiced her support for other women in the field, stating, “Although it can be competitive and one might strive to be at the top, I try not to adopt that mindset. I prioritize a healthier perspective, aiming to see more women participating in the sport. I truly appreciate their contributions.”

“You can see in two ways,” she explained.

“One is where it is competitive and you want to be at the top, but I try to not have that mindset and having healthier of, I want more women in the game.

“I love that they’re doing it.

And we’ve created so many jobs within the golf industry for women based off of what I’ve done and what I’ve accomplished.

“And so I see it as a positive.”

Not only does Spiranac enjoy seeing others succeed, but she too is still loving the lifestyle.

“I never thought that posting on social media would ever lead me to this position and that people would find swing videos interesting,” she admitted.

“But the fact that I’ve been able to grow a business and also to grow the game of golf has been something that has been so important to me and really great to see and quite shocking actually.”

Spiranac has amassed 3.9 million followers on Instagram where she shares a mixture of golf content, glamorous lifestyle snaps, and often risque shots.

Despite amassing a substantial online following through her regular content showcasing golf and fitness, she disclosed an unexpected trend in fan requests.

Spiranac, the world’s biggest golf influencer, decided to have some fun with the news of Tiger Woods and TaylorMade joining.

Syndication: Akron Beacon Journal, Paige Spiranac

Monday night, Tiger Woods unveiled his new apparel line, Sun Day Red. He is partnering with TaylorMade creating a unique, premium shoewear and clothing line that will have fans running to the store.

One day later, golf influencer Paige Spiranac decided to have some related fun.

Spiranac took to X, formerly Twitter, to post some truly hysterical content.

“Working on my new clothing line logo Fri Day Cut. The lines represent how many over par I was in my first pro tournament,” she wrote.

There is actually a bit more to unpack there than meets the eye.

Obviously, yes, the image she depicts has certain connotations to it physically. But also, the words itself have some meaning.

Part of what makes Spiranac so much fun is how self-deprecating she can be. Fri Day Cut, come on, that’s good. Then there’s the reference to Tiger’s stripes.

Woods’ new logo for Sun Day Red, as he pointed out during the special press event Monday night that Playing Through was invited to, was tailor made to him, pun intended.

Each of the 15 stripes on the new logo represent Woods’ 15 major championships.

Woods jokingly said at the event that the logo will need to be changed though after he wins his 16th major title.

Tiger partnering with TaylorMade comes on the heels of the shocking split with Nike after 27 years. Woods had actually been playing with TaylorMade equipment for the last few years since Nike curtailed their footprint in the sport of golf.

While some people were interested in learning the 30-year-old golf instructor’s hobbies outside of sports, one fan wanted to know what it was really like working with Bryson DeChambeau. Spiranac and the 30-year-old, who is a LIV Golf League pro athlete, recently hit the links and created some content together.

“It was great. He is shockingly different in person than how a lot of us have perceived him over the years,” Spiranac stated of DeChambeau’s reputation. “He is kind and funny and very self-aware, and we had a conversation about that. I’m like, ‘I wish people knew this version of you,’ and although he might have matured and changed over the years, it’s drastically different and I feel bad that he had to endure that amount of like bullying. For me, like, I made jokes about him too, all of us did, and he’s the first one to like laugh at himself about those things that have happened.”

The two filmed a YouTube video together in which DeChambeau gave Spiranac a golf lesson. He posted it to his channel in late January, and the one-time SI Swimsuit model noted that their time together was “a lot of fun.”

“He just was really pleasant to be around and I learned so much,” Spiranac added. “He has like such an interesting brain when it comes to golf and how he views things.”

Paige Spiranac had her followers shocked with yet another revealing post on social media, this time wearing a spaghetti-strap dress on a golf course.

The ten second clip on her X account shows Spiranac strutting down the course to Cindi Lauper’s ‘Girl’s Just Wanna Have Fun’ before placing the ball on a tee. The clip then cuts to a closeup of her lining up the shot before she smashes the drive and walks off.

At the end of the clip, Spiranac moves her hair back before walking towards the camera and out of the frame.

Fans flooded the comment section with compliments on both her looks and her swing.

‘As always Paige smashing the balls better than most and looking flawless while doing it!’ one user wrote.

On January 19, Spiranac spent time with LIV Golf’s Bryson DeChambeau. The pair played a round of golf together when Spiranac went on a live Instagram Q&A and playfully asked the pro golfer ‘if he would smash.’

‘No, Brooks [Koepka] and I are friends now,’ DeChambeau responded, referring to the five-time major winner’s LIV team.

Spiranac later thanked DeChambeau for their hangout on X.

‘Have to give where credit is due to @b_dechambeau! I’ve publicly trolled him in the past but in person he was nothing but kind, funny, and self deprecating. Total opposite from how I perceived him over the years. And you would think I should know better because it happens to me everyday.

‘I’m excited for you to see the content we’ve been shooting and an opportunity for you to get to know us both better. Coming soon.’

Earlier in January, Spiranac also showed her support for the University of Michigan ahead of the CFP National Championship by posting a picture wearing bikini top with the Wolverines’ logo imprinted on one side.
