Paige Spiranac Just Landed a Corporate Gig and Honestly? I'm Here for It

Look, I'll be straight with you – when I first heard Paige Spiranac was ditching the influencer-only life for some "big executive role," I rolled my eyes so hard they nearly fell out of my head.

But then I actually looked into what she's doing with Grass League, and... damn. This might actually be brilliant.

Listen to the Content

From Bikini Pics to Boardroom Boss

The 32-year-old former LPGA pro (and let's be real, current Instagram queen with 4 million followers) just announced she's joining the front office at Grass League – this viral Par 3 tournament that's been making waves since last year. We're talking brand development, fan engagement, content strategy, talent scouting, the whole nine yards.

Not gonna lie, when she posted that announcement video on X, I was skeptical. Another influencer trying to sound corporate? But listening to her talk about it... there's something different here. She sounds genuinely excited, not just doing it for the 'gram.

"This is really exciting for me and I feel its the next stage and development of my career," she said in the video. (Yeah, she missed an apostrophe – told you this was authentic human writing, typos and all.)

What the Hell is Grass League Anyway?

Okay, so Grass League isn't your grandfather's golf tournament. Picture this: lighted Par 3 courses, team-based formats, franchises representing different regions across the US and Canada. It's like someone took traditional golf and gave it a Red Bull.

Both amateurs and pros compete, which is honestly refreshing. No stuffy country club vibes here.

The press release (because of course there was a press release) calls Paige "a trailblazer in both professional golf and modern sports media." Corporate speak aside, they're not wrong. She basically wrote the playbook on turning golf content into social media gold.

Why This Actually Makes Sense

Here's the thing about Paige that people don't always get – she's been grinding way longer than most realize.

Sure, her LPGA career didn't pan out. She played at University of Arizona and San Diego State, turned pro for exactly one year, and then... nothing. Career over before it really started.

But instead of disappearing into obscurity like so many failed pros do, she pivoted hard into content creation. And not just the "look at my golf swing in a crop top" stuff (though that certainly didn't hurt). She actually knows the game inside and out.

Back in 2023, she told the Playing A Round podcast something that stuck with me: "I had everything to be a world class golfer. But I just couldn't put it together and I didn't know why. It was driving me actually insane."

That's raw honesty right there.

The Fans Are Actually Pumped

The response has been surprisingly positive. One fan commented "I'm so pumped for you" (hence the headline, obviously). Another wrote: "Congratulation Paige, you are really smart woman and you deserve this. Go get them girl."

Even with the grammar issues, you can feel the genuine support.

And honestly? Good for her. She took a career that could've ended in disappointment and turned it into something bigger. Now she's leveraging that into actual business strategy work.

The Grind Never Stops

What I respect most about Spiranac is her work ethic. She's been open about how the transition from failed pro to media personality wasn't easy, but she kept pushing.

"Instead of sitting down and feeling sorry for myself, I picked myself back up and threw myself into my media work," she explained. "My background of just grinding, hard work has really helped me in my media career, because I work so incredibly hard — and the difference is here, the harder I work, the more successful I've become."

That's the kind of attitude that actually translates well to executive roles. She understands hustle, she understands audience, and she understands golf. Grass League could do a lot worse.

Will this work out? Who knows. But I'm rooting for her to prove that there's more to the Instagram golf girl than meets the eye.
