“I don’t normally play stroke play events,” admitted a nervous Paige Spiranac at the beginning of August in a YouTube video she shared on her platform. Fast forward a couple of weeks and the 2024 Creator Classic is set to take place on August 28 at East Lake Golf Club. And the diva, meanwhile, couldn’t help but express her anxiety for the same, despite conveying her excitement to play at the event.

The 31-year-old shared a picture of herself in her golfing attire on X while hinting at the upcoming event ahead of the TOUR Championship. “It’s the week of the Creator Classic!” she wrote, “Although nervous to play competitive stroke play again (it’s been 8 years) I’m excited for this amazing opportunity! The goal is to have fun.” 

While she did express exhilaration, what caught the attention of many of Spiranac’s fans was her reply to a certain reaction by a fan. A follower commented, “…… and dominate!” as they added to the caption while urging the female golfer to win the upcoming tournament, to which she replied, “I don’t handle pressure well at all.” This is not the first time she has mentioned the same, for the athlete had, in the YouTube video she shared at the beginning of August, pointed out, “It’s a stroke play event which I don’t normally play stroke play events, especially under pressure.”

Another admirer wished the social media influencer the best while urging her, “Just don’t finish last!! Good luck!!!” Her reply? “That’s the expected result lol,” answered Paige Spiranac. Interestingly, the model will be teeing off against the likes of 15 content creators who will hope to clinch the inaugural Creator Classic title. Unsurprisingly enough, her fans didn’t let her go through the nervous phase alone, as they took to the tweet to convey their support and love for the golfer.

Fans pour out their support for Paige Spiranac and her upcoming Creator Classic

The diva had made a video on her preparations ahead of the contest and shared the same via her YouTube channel under the name, “How I Prep for Golf Tournaments // One Month Out.” In the post she made, the athlete worked on her wedges, swings, and consistency, among others. And a fan couldn’t help but allude to the video while reacting to her tweet: “Go for it. You did the work.”

Back in 2016, Paige Spiranac emerged victorious over Hannah O’Sullivan on the Cactus Tour. Later on, this would come out to be her only professional win, as she would soon retire from pro golf at the age of 29. Back then, she had finished the season with $8000 in winnings, per reports. Now, 8 years later, the social media influencer would be teeing off at a contest that would boast a competitive stroke play format. Consequently, a couple of fans came forward to comment, “Best wishes to you having fun and posting a competitive score after eight years! Cheers!” and “I’m sure your stroke play is still excellent.”

A lot of her admirers made sure to wish their best for the golfer and her upcoming contest, as many took to comment, “Good luck!!” Some even hoped the female athlete would enjoy the match with the 15 other content creators at East Lake Golf Club, as they wished, “Good Luck and hope it is fun.”

Do you feel Paige Spiranac will emerge victorious at the end of the day while teeing off at the newly restored back-nine ahead of the 2024 TOUR Championship despite having bad odds? If not, who do you think will win in the end?
