Paige Spiranac is taking a dreamy trip down memory lane.
On Friday, the famed golf influencer gave fans an intimate look at a recent trip to Europe, which featured stops in France and Italy.
“Had a fun trip recently, some of my favorite pictures,” Spiranac wrote in an Instagram Story before kicking off a photo slideshow.
One image featured Spiranac taking in a Parisian gallery, while other snaps showed the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit savoring sunset scenes in Italy.
Although Spiranac certainly enjoyed some R&R overseas, she was back on the golf course Saturday, posting a selfie from a golf cart during what seemed to be a forgettable round.
“Played terribly today but at least my outfit was cute,” the 32-year-old quipped on X.
Much of Spiranac’s content in recent days has focused on the 2025 Ryder Cup, which saw Europe dominate the U.S. for the second consecutive tournament, 15-13.
Spiranac, who chronicled an outing at Bethpage Black in a September TikTok video, waded into various discussions throughout the tournament, ranging from Viktor Hovland’s withdrawal for Team Europe on the final day due to injury, and the vitriol spewed by fans at Rory McIlroy and his family.
“I’m sadly not shocked by the fan behavior at the Ryder Cup because it’s become the norm at most sporting events and in my opinion it needs to change across all sports,” she posted last Monday on X.
“I was at a football game recently and this man in front of me was disgustingly drunk, yelling the most vile s–t to players and opposing fans in the stands, spilling his drink everywhere, wanting to fight people, and it completely ruined the experience for me and everyone around him.
“What was interesting was that his young (maybe 7 years old) nephew was right next to him listening to everything. At one point the kid started copying him and was yelling the same things and the family was laughing.
“This behavior is taught. I’m not saying you have to sit quietly. You can have passion, chirp, have fun banter, enjoy yourself at the event or game but there’s a line and it’s crossed so many times now.”
McIlroy spoke out against the behavior exhibited by some at Bethpage Black last weekend, when his wife, Erica Stoll, also had a drink swatted in her direction.
“I don’t think we should ever accept that in golf,” McIlroy, 36, said. “I think golf should be held to a higher standard than what was seen out there this week. Golf has the ability to unite people. Golf teaches you very good life lessons. It teaches you etiquette. It teaches you how to play by the rules. It teaches you how to respect people.”
The reigning Masters champ added, “Sometimes this week we didn’t see that.”
McIlroy and Stoll later received an apology letter from the CEO of the PGA of America amid the fan chaos.
