Paige Spiranac will return to competitive golf for the first time in eight years .
The PGA Tour announced that prior to the Tour Championship, the most popular golf content creators will go head to head in the "Creator Classic." The "Creator Classic" is a nine-hole competition, which will take place on August 28, featuring 16 of the "most successful" and "skilled" golf creators for a chance to win the inaugural Creator Classic title. There will be four groups of four players, with each content creator playing as an individual in stroke play.
Each group will begin on the 10th hole at the restored East Lake Golf Club and each golfer will play holes 10 through 17. The four lowest-scoring players will compete in a one-hole playoff and if there is a tie, a chip-off will happen on hole 17 to determine the seedings. Those closest to the hole would advance to the final playoff hole.
On X, the 31-year-old former professional shared what was going through her mind as she was announced to be one of the 16 competitors vying for the title. In doing so, she gave fans a candid view of her thought process as she returned to competitive golf after almost a decade away .
"It's the week of the Creator Classic!" her post on X began . "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."
Once she posted she would be competing in the Creator Classic, her fans came out in force to reassure her on how she will perform. In particular, Spiranac jokingly revealed she is keeping her hopes low because of how long she has been away from competitive play.
"I might win most golf balls lost but that's about it lol," she wrote on X , along with claiming she is expecting to come in last. Still, Spiranac posted to her Instagram account just how happy she was to be competing with the best golf content creators around despite having the longest odds of winning outright.
"So excited to be playing!" she posted, per Essentially Sports . "It is coming up very soon. Just trying to get some reps in right now on the golf course. Pressure's off because odds are in and I am the favorite to come at last place. It can only go up from here, now I can just go out and have some fun. I am nervous, I don't know how I'm going to do. But game feels okay.
Even though the golf star is nervous about her performance, she has the backing of millions of fans on social media. On YouTube, Spiranac has approximately 426,000 subscribers, the lowest amount among all her accounts.
She has four million followers on Instagram and 1.6 million TikTok followers. Overall, the 31-year-old has over six million followers on her social media platforms, showing how much support she will receive throughout the competition.
Despite how successful her golf content has become, Spiranac affirms she will not venture into OnlyFans . "But for me and how I wanted my business to progress, I knew that it just wasn't the right plan for me to go into," she said. "And I'm more than happy to lean into the sexy, fun, cheeky side, but I never wanted my content to be something that my family couldn't see."
Spiranac will be in the same group as Brad Dalke, Garrett Clark and Mason Nutt, with the tee time expected to be at 4:24 p.m. ET.
