Paige Spiranac appeared in the 2018 SI Swimsuit Issue after posing for photographer James Macari in Aruba. While the feature resulted in some incredible images, the golf influencer and media personality also showed off her athletic prowess while on location.

Spiranac skillfully hit a golf ball through a tiny opening in a colorful “Aruba” sign, then upped the ante by masterfully sinking a 28-yard bunker shot from the sandy beach into a moving boat. Cheers erupted from behind the camera as Spiranac raised her hands in celebration and pumped her fists in the air.

The 30-year-old looked great while displaying her skills: she coordinated her golf glove with her black strappy bikini. Spiranac also playfully chipped a ball into a plastic beer cup and caught a golf ball in her cleavage while on set.

Spiranac, who was 24 at the time of her SI Swimsuit feature, has been open about her experience with cyberbullying and has called her magazine feature one of the most important photo shoots of her life.

As she was transitioning from playing professional golf to being a social media content creator full-time, Spiranac said the photo shoot was incredibly emotional and ended up being a truly empowering experience.

“It was the most confident and powerful and empowered that I have ever felt, and I carry that now,” Spiranac stated. “Whatever I do, that’s a big part of me and a badge that I’ll hold forever, being a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model.”
