Golf influencer Paige Spiranac has shared the one thing aspiring players can do to improve their game.
Spiranac, who has nearly 4 million followers on Instagram, spent a year as a professional golfer before building a huge brand on social media.
But the 30-year-old still goes out often and shared with her followers the ‘quickest and quickest way’ to get better.
“It honestly doesn’t matter what your handicap is,” she said in a video on X. “The fastest and fastest way to get better at golf is to work on your short game. You absolutely must be 100 meters and inside. Work on your chipping, work on your wedge game, work on your sand shots and especially your putting.
‘Most people don’t realize how long pros actually work on their short game. I’m talking about hours and hours and hours of dedication, and I know we can’t do that. To be honest, we don’t have the time or patience for it. But if you dedicate at least 25 minutes to the short game in your practice schedule, it will change your life.”

She continued, “And another benefit of a good short game is that it takes the pressure off your full swing. And once you take the pressure off your full swing, and because golf is so mental, you’ll free yourself and hit more fairways and more greens.”
Although she is no longer a professional, Spiranac said in the video that she is a scratch golfer.
She admitted last year to being “mentally exhausted” before ending her playing career.
However, she has since become one of the most famous influencers in sports and this week teased a “legendary” collaboration with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.
Spiranac spent a year as a professional golfer before quitting because he was “mentally exhausted.”
SI Swimsuit will celebrate its 60th anniversary later this year, with a special ‘Legends’ photo shoot already planned, although it’s unclear whether Spiranac will be involved in that shoot or a separate one.
Speaking about the end of her professional career last year, she said: ‘Instead of sitting down and feeling sorry for myself, I picked myself up and threw myself into my media work.
‘My background of just grinding, hard work has helped me enormously in my media career, because I work so incredibly hard.
“And the difference is that the harder I work, the more successful I’ve become and I think that’s why it’s been a more fulfilling journey for me than professional golf… the outcome has been positive.”
