Paige Spiranac, one of the most popular figures in golf and social media, has shocked fans by sharing a wild story from her college days. On her hit podcast Playing A Round, the former professional golfer revealed that she once got into a fight with her roommate and ended up with a black eye to prove it.
The incident, which Spiranac described as “the only fight I’ve ever been in,” has quickly gone viral. Fans of the 30-year-old star are used to her bold takes on golf, relationships, and life online, but few expected such a raw confession.
According to Spiranac, the altercation happened during her college years after she picked up her roommate following a night of heavy drinking.
At first, everything seemed fine until the situation escalated when they arrived home. Paige recalled that her roommate suddenly ran into her room and locked the door, leaving Spiranac concerned about her wellbeing.
“I was banging on the door telling her to open it because I thought she needed help,” Paige explained on the podcast. “But she thought I was one of her ex-boyfriends. She opened the door and just decked me as hard as she could.”
The punch left Paige with a massive black eye that her professors and teammates noticed the next day. “They were really worried, asking if I needed to talk to someone. I just told them, ‘No, I have a psycho roommate,’” she said with a laugh.
To prove the story, Paige Spiranac even shared a shocking photo of the bruises from the incident on social media. The image quickly spread among her millions of followers, sparking memes, sympathy, and plenty of surprised reactions.
The golfer admitted that she is “not the fighting type” and that this was the only physical altercation she has ever been involved in. Still, the story gave fans a very different glimpse into her past — one far removed from the glamorous golf influencer persona.
Paige Spiranac’s fans flooded social media with support, shock, and humor. Some praised her for being open and honest, while others joked about her toughness both on and off the golf course.
The podcast clip has been shared across TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter (X), with “Paige Spiranac fight” trending in golf circles.
While the story has gone viral, it also highlights why Paige Spiranac has become such a unique voice in sports media. From tackling golf’s elitist culture to discussing her struggles with online trolls and relationships, she has built a massive following by being unfiltered and real.
Today, Spiranac has stepped away from competitive golf to focus on media, her podcast, and her anti-bullying charity work. Yet, it’s personal stories like this that keep fans coming back for more.
