Paige Spiranac Explains Social-Media Lull, Says Anxiety Prompted Break From Golf

She describes a therapy-led reset, including less posting, to manage long‑running anxiety.

Overview

  • In a Feb. 10 Instagram Q&A, she said she is "in a bit of a funk," overthinking, and has stepped back from posting as anxiety took control.
  • She added that she has paused playing golf while she works through the issues.
  • She outlined a history of professional help, citing sports psychologists, talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and reported biofeedback sessions.
  • She said she feels widely misunderstood and plans to show more of herself while defending less, with work underway on a fun golf series and a potential product.
  • Coverage notes last summer's Internet Invitational dispute that she denies involved cheating, the online abuse she says followed, and a reported $15,000–$16,000 donation of skins winnings to the Cody "Beef" Franke foundation.
