Paige Spiranac, the former professional golfer turned one of golf’s most prominent social media influencers, has addressed fan concerns about her reduced online presence in early 2026. Known for her massive following—millions across platforms like Instagram and X—the 32-year-old has posted far less frequently this year, sparking questions and worry among her supporters.
In a candid Q&A session on her Instagram Stories in February 2026, Spiranac opened up about the reasons behind her quieter activity. Responding directly to a fan’s question about her absence, she explained that she has been dealing with ongoing personal struggles.
“I am in a bit of a funk, a rut if you will, and it’s not like a one or two day thing,” Spiranac shared. “This has been going on for a little bit. I feel like I’ve just been so in my head about everything and I’m just trying to work through it. I think that’s why I haven’t been posting as much because I am just overthinking everything and I just feel like my anxiety has taken control.”
Her admission highlights a battle with anxiety that has led her to step back intentionally from the constant demands of social media content creation. Spiranac, who transitioned from collegiate golf at the University of Arizona and San Diego State University to a hugely successful online career featuring golf tips, lifestyle posts, and her signature glamorous style, has long been open about the pressures of public life. This recent period marks a noticeable shift from her typically active posting schedule.
Fans have responded with an outpouring of support, sending messages of encouragement and understanding. Spiranac’s vulnerability in addressing the issue head-on has been praised as refreshing in an industry often focused on polished perfection. She has reassured followers that she is actively working through these challenges and expressed gratitude for their concern.
While her accounts have seen only sporadic updates so far in 2026—contrasting with her usual high-volume content—her explanation serves as a reminder of the mental health toll that constant online visibility can take, even for someone as seemingly confident and successful as Spiranac. As she continues to prioritize her well-being, many hope to see her return when she’s ready, bringing the same energy and authenticity that built her loyal fanbase.
