Super Fan Overwhelms Paige Spiranac After Bizarre ‘Passion’ Baffles Golf World: ‘Tony Will Never Forget’

She is dubbed the ‘Golf Queen’ for a reason. And the fans? They know it pretty well. Paige Spiranac’s rise in the influencer world and subsequently, the sport, has led to the diva garnering a lot of followers throughout the years. Well, it is one of these admirers who grabbed the model’s attention at an event recently, so much so that she shared it on her social media as well.

The 31-year-old shared a tweet on her X handle (formerly Twitter) all the while narrating one of her experiences at an X-Golf event; “Met Tony at an @xgolfamerica event where he asked me to sign his arm. An hour later he comes back with it tattooed on him!” It seems even Spiranac was surprised by the unexpected show of admiration.

The tech-infused company had joined hands with Paige Spiranac to promote their golf simulations as well as to join them as their ambassador. She has often been spotted making use of the premium indoor golf simulations that X-Golf boasts on her social media posts and stories. It is from an event hosted by this company that the golfing influencer met with Tony. But the fans only found the whole situation perplexing, to say the least.

Netizens find amusement at the actions of Paige Spiranac’s fan

Back in August 2023, Spiranac had teamed up with a new sponsor and collaborated with the same. Garage Beer, an Ohio-based beer brand, held a special event known as Paige Spiranac Puttapalooza in the Chicagoland area. As per the contest, 20 people would be randomly chosen out of which only three would make it to the final event. The winner, meanwhile would receive beer from the company for a year along with a chance to procure a lifetime supply of the same by holing a 50-foot putt alongside the diva.

Fast forward to the present, and a follower couldn’t help but ask if such a similar prize was behind the fan’s actions; “Does he win a special prize for doing that??” Another enthusiast even dubbed the whole action as something that arose out of a “Passion” for the diva. X-Golf, meanwhile, came forward to comment on the tweet as they said, “Well, at least Tony will never forget that day.”  Neither will Spiranac, apparently!

The athlete had come forward to share one of her follower’s story which spotted the video of a man wearing a shirt sporting the face of the golfing influencer. It also showcased the admirer flaunting his merchandise related to the golf queen while being a part of a match-play event. When the 31-year-old noticed and acknowledged him, many would have surely thought of him as the biggest fan of the influencer. But come June 2024, many took to dub Tony as a ‘superfan’ as they responded, “You can’t be a bigger fan than that”, “Fan for life,” and “Now there is a real superfan!”

The golfer had been once married to professional baseball player Steven Tinoco in 2018. The couple, however, went through a traumatic divorce in 2022 after separating in 2020. The baseball pro, soon after, married songwriter Abbey Scott and welcomed a baby girl into the world in 2023, Kodi Scott. Spiranac, meanwhile, is speculated to have remained single after the incident. But a fan, after the recent meetup, urged her to tie the knot with Tony; “Ask him to marry you.” Although she will probably not do something like that, it would have been a truly gratifying experience for the golfing model.
