Golf glamor girl Paige Spiranac has revealed that she has stepped back from posting regularly online due to a significant battle with anxiety.
Spiranac is one of the biggest and best known sporting influencers out there and has amassed millions of followers across all of her social media platforms.
But in the last six months, it has been noticeable how Spiranac has been online a lot less than what people have come to expect. Now, in a Q&A held with her Instagram followers, she has explained why.
‘I am in a bit of a funk, a rut if you will, and its not like a one or two day thing,’ Spiranac explained, while thanking her fan for asking how she is. ‘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’m trying to push myself outside of that and post more and get back to what I was doing before. I feel like I haven’t been active because I’ve just been in my own head, in this kind of funky rut that I am in and we are working through it.’

But Spiranac recently told her followers that she will try to post more consistently this year
She added in a separate post that she has stopped playing as much golf in order to focus on herself.
‘I almost felt bad for myself for such a long time and I was frustrated why people weren’t seeing me in a certain way or seeing me for me,’ she said.
‘And then I realized that they’re only seeing what I’m showing. I can sit there and I can complain about it, or I can do something about it. And that’s showing more of myself and my personality.
‘I think that I put so many walls up because this job can be draining sometimes and quite soul-sucking.
‘I think I put barriers up to protect myself and started to morph and change into a person that I didn’t really recognize and that I didn’t see as well.’
Spiranac’s confessions comes weeks after she vowed to engage more with her followers in 2026.
It still sounds like she will try and do that, telling her followers this week: ‘This year it’s more about showing and less explaining and trying to defend myself and just being who I am.’
