Paige Spiranac has confessed that she was left ‘shaking like a leaf’ when she first met Tiger Woods.

The model, who boasts over four million followers on Instagram alone, is quite the golf enthusiast – frequently sharing clips of herself online, giving fans tips and tricks to try out on the course. As a lover of the game, it comes as little to no surprise that the 31-year-old was seriously fangirling when she met one of golf’s greatest-ever talents.

Recalling their meeting in an Instagram Q&A, Spiranac said that Woods gave her a short lesson at a charity event. “I have a lot of pretty cool stories that I would want to share. But unfortunately, when I do, when I meet someone, the comments are, ‘Oh, he ****** her’.

“And it’s like, ‘No, I can have a normal interaction with someone’. It’s disrespectful to me and to that person, and if they have a wife or significant other. So, bearing that in mind, I did fan girl over Tiger Woods.

“He’s the only person I got so incredibly nervous over while having a lesson at his charity event. I was shaking like a leaf, I was so nervous. But he was so nice. That was one moment where I was like, ‘I can’t believe this is my life.’”

Considered to be the greatest golfer of all time by many, Woods has enjoyed an incredible 28-year career to date, picking up 82 total wins on the PGA Tour. That’s not to mention his 15 major titles – the first coming the year after he turned pro at the 1997 Masters.

Woods has spent a grand total of 683 weeks as the World No. 1 ranking, with his 11 PGA Tour Player of the Year awards and PGA Player of the Year awards a testament to his hard work. However, the now 49-year-old has slowed down, failing to win a major championship since the 2019 Masters.

At 1239th in the Official World Golf Rankings, Woods’ last PGA Tour win came in the same year as the 2019 Zozo Championship. Woods only entered five tournaments in 2024, with his best finish coming in 60th at the Masters with an overall score of 16-over-par.

He is yet to return to the links in 2025, taking time away from the sport following the passing of his mother, Kultida, last month. In a statement, Woods said: “It is with heartfelt sadness that I want to share that my dear mother, Kultida Woods, passed away early this morning.

“My Mom was a force of nature all her own, her spirit was simply undeniable. She was quick with the needle and a laugh. She was my biggest fan, greatest supporter, without her none of my personal achievements would have been possible.

“She was loved by so many, but especially by her two grandchildren, Sam and Charlie. Thank you all for your support, prayers and privacy at this difficult time for me and my family. Love you, Mom.”
