Paige Spiranac took over Skratch's Instagram this week to show fans around TPC Sawgrass while The Players Championship got underway—and things got messy fast.

Fashion on the Fairway

Spiranac, known for her engaging golf content and distinct fashion sense, reunited with Skratch to showcase TPC Sawgrass, home of The Players Championship. Her appearance marked another collaboration with the brand, following a tour of the Genesis Invitational last month.

For her latest outing, Spiranac opted for a spring-ready ensemble. She wore a navy tank top featuring crisp white piping, neatly tucked into a matching pair of fitted, flared trousers. A classic white button-up shirt, tied at the center to create a cropped, cinched look, completed her outfit. She accessorized with comfortable tennis shoes, ideal for walking the course, gold hoop earrings, and a navy and white baseball cap embroidered with "The Players Championship." Her long blonde hair fell in natural curls, complementing her effortless makeup, which included matte skin, pink cheeks, and glossy lips.

Last month at the Genesis Invitational, she'd gone all-black instead. Back at TPC Sawgrass, Spiranac highlighted the course's design, telling viewers, "As you know, they call this ‘Stadium Course’ for a reason. This course was built for the fan experience, and today I’m going to show you some of my favorite viewing holes." She pointed out the toughest shots and gave viewers the inside scoop on what makes the course so brutal. She also posted to Skratch's Instagram story on March 10 with more shots of the Ponte Vedra Beach course.

The Players Championship Underway

The Players Championship started the same week Spiranac was there. She expressed her enthusiasm on X, formerly Twitter, on March 11, 2026, writing, "The Players might be one of my favorite golf tournaments of the year!" She also shared a selfie from the course, sporting a white shirt and an officially licensed Players Championship hat.

But the tournament got weird fast. Last year, Rory McIlroy claimed victory in a three-hole playoff against J.J. Spaun. This year, the field is already seeing some unexpected developments. Max Greyserman, Cam Davis, Akshay Bhatia, and Tony Finau were among those off to strong starts in the early rounds.

The drama started before anyone even teed off. New Zealand's Ryan Fox withdrew from the tournament hours before its start due to an illness. Two-time major champion Collin Morikawa also withdrew shortly after teeing off, parring his first hole before being seen stretching his back. Morikawa had been the most bet golfer to win the event, according to BetMGM. Adding to the uncertainty, McIlroy, the defending champion, was nursing a back injury, stating on Wednesday, "I've got about, I don't know, is it 20 hours until I tee off. So, yeah, we'll see. I'm taking it sort of hour by hour. Hopefully a good night tonight. The drugs are working wonders, and then just keep it going from there." Fans could catch the first round of the championship on Golf Channel.

Fan Connection and Unexpected Praise

Her posts got the usual flood of comments from her four million Instagram followers. People showed up in the comments to praise her style and what she knows about golf. Taylor Bartley, for instance, commented, "Scouted by Paige 💅," to which Spiranac responded, "@taylerbartley special shoutout to the queen of Sawgrass for sharing her spots!" Other fans chimed in with appreciation, with one writing, "Great job today Paige! Looking forward to some golf this week!"

But there's one fan interaction that's actually made her happy. On Thursday, March 12, 2026, she shared on X about a particular fan who consistently leaves the same two-word comment, "great cans," on all her social media posts. The remarkable consistency of this individual, spanning "for years," has genuinely impressed her.

Spiranac wrote, "There is this guy who comments ‘great cans’ on everything I post. In a world full of hate and despair, I know he will always be there for me to lift my spirits." She screenshotted her DMs to prove he'd commented three times in a couple days. It's a funny moment coming after she's talked about how brutal it is to be this visible online. She's dealt with body-shaming comments and death threats after getting caught up in a cheating scandal at the Internet Invitational. Earlier this month she admitted she'd stepped back from social media because it was messing with her anxiety. Now she's back posting and finding ways to make it less toxic—even if it means celebrating a guy who won't stop commenting about her chest.
