Paige Spiranac’s mom stole the show on Mother’s Day when golf’s most popular influencer shared a heartfelt message of thanks to her mother on social media.
She shared a photo of the pair together with the caption: ‘Happy Mother’s Day to the best… I love you!’
She didn’t reveal any further details about her mom but immediately, Spiranac was inundated with replies from fans about her – and even from friends of hers that she has made in the golf industry.
‘omg you two are so identical that I almost thought this was a fake photo,’ Claire Rogers, a reporter at Golf.Com, replied.
The 33-year-old Spiranac’s fans, meanwhile, thought the same. One commented back: ‘Wow, you REALLY look a lot like your mom! One can see where you get your good looks from!!’
Another said: ‘Well, they say if you wanna know what your wife will look like later on just look at her mother. I don’t think Paige has anything to worry about. Wow!’
Fans were left stunned after Paige Spiranac shared a picture of her mom on Mother’s Day
Fans joked that lightning had ‘struck twice’ in her family after the photograph went viral
Some went a bit futher than Rogers’ comment, admitting they thought Spiranac’s post had used AI to create her mom.
‘This has to be AI. Come on? Lightning never strikes twice like this,’ one wrote.
Another wrote: ‘Your mom looks like the AI version of you when you’ll be older.’
Sharing a picture of her mom to her 1.1m followers is a shift in tone from Spiranac after starting the year on a difficult note.
At the start of 2026, Spiranac ended a mini social media hiatus after revealing she had been struggling with mental health.
‘I am in a bit of a funk, a rut if you will, and its not like a one or two day thing,’ Spiranac said at the start of the year.
‘This has been going on for a little bit. I feel like I’ve just been so in my head about everything and I’m just trying to work through it.
‘I think that’s why I haven’t been posting as much because I am just overthinking everything and I just feel like my anxiety has taken control.
‘I feel like I haven’t been active because I’ve just been in my own head, in this kind of funky rut and we’re working through it.’
