Paige Spiranac's stunning cover shoot as Hot 100 leader brought back by world-class fashion magazine
Paige Spiranac is one of the most well-known names in the golfing world as she is the most followed golfing influencer on Instagram, with over 4 million followers. The 31-year-old former pro-golfer has found incredible success in the media industry and was also named the World's Sexiest Woman by the popular fashion magazine Maxim.
In 2022, she received this prestigious title and was featured on the cover page of Maxim magazine. Recently, Maxim shared a tweet on X as a throwback to this memory, along with a couple of Paige Spiranac's portraits.
"#throwbackthursday to our Hot 100 cover shoot with @PaigeSpiranac," Maxim wrote in caption.
Talking about her reaction to receiving this prestigious title, while talking to the New York Post, Paige Spiranac said after hearing this, it didn't quite sink in at first.
"It’s so funny, my manager called me and she’s like, 'You’re never going to believe this, but Maxim wants you to do the cover. At first, it didn’t quite sink in, and then I called her back and I’m like, ‘Wait, does that mean I’m No. 1, I made it?"' Spiranac said via Maxim website.
Continuing further, Spiranac said she finds it difficult to believe all this, and it is an honor for the 31-year-old golf influencer to be on the cover page of a fashion magazine. She said,
"I just couldn’t believe it. Even up to when we did the photo shoot when the magazine came out, I’m like, I’m still in disbelief that this actually happened. It’s such an honor and I still, to this day, I look at the magazine and I’m like, ‘That’s not me, I can’t believe this happened'."
This was Paige Spiranac's second magazine feature, as she was featured in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue in 2018.
Additionally, she was also featured on SI Swimsuit's Legends covers in 2024 on the occasion of its 60th anniversary. The 60th-anniversary issue featured multiple covers, with Spiranac featuring on one of the covers.
