Paige Spiranac just debuted a stunning new look with a bang. The former Maxim cover model and golf influencer treated her 1.1 million X followers to a “life update” selfie captioned, “I have bangs now.”
A departure from the flowing blowout Spiranac has rocked for years, the layered curly locks proved an immediate hit among fans. Several commenters compared her new do the “Farrah Flip” made popular by original Charlie’s Angels star and bedroom poster pin-up Farrah Fawcett—a staple salon request in the 1970s and early 1980s.
The mini-transformation comes amid Spiranac’s ongoing hiatus from Instagram, where she hasn’t posted since October of 2025, excluding Instagram Stories. The social recess was preceded by a minor scandal that unfolded during the Internet Invitational, a golf tournament organized by Barstool Sports and YouTuber Bob Does Sports. During the event, cameras caught Spiranac brushing grass aside in the rough, allowing teammate Malosi Togisala to have a cleaner shot at the ball.
After seeing the video, Spiranac’s opponents confronted her on the green. She broke down in tears, claiming she did not know the rule, and since her team had lost the hole, the matter was eventually put to rest, per the New York Post.
“I am painfully, painfully embarrassed that I did not know this rule,” she said in an Instagram Story addressing the controversy. “… I would never intentionally cheat. In all my years of playing golf, I have never been accused of cheating.” Despite the outcome and apology, she still received “tens of thousands of death threats” which amounted to the “worst hate” she’d been subjected to in her decade online.
While her Instagram post frequency has waned since, Spiranac is still plenty busy producing increasingly candid content for her subscription platform OnlyPaige and partnering with high-stakes par 3 golf series Grass League. On Grass League’s official Instagram page, she broke down the registration process for the 2026 Grass League Qualifier,” describing the event as the “perfect opportunity for golfers like yourself to play your way onto a GL franchise.”
“Here’s the deal,” Spiranac began. “100 two-person teams compete in an 18-hole qualifier. There, the top 25, including ties, advance to the draft. In the draft, it is 22 selections—so it is a two-round snake draft. Each franchise gets two selections, and that’s it.”
