Paige Spiranac, the most popular influencer in golf, celebrated Mother's Day by sharing a heartfelt tribute to her mother on social media, but it was the photo itself that truly stole the spotlight. The 33-year-old posted a picture of the pair together with the caption: 'Happy Mother's Day to the best... I love you!'
Fans React to the Resemblance
Although Spiranac did not provide further details about her mom, the post quickly drew an overwhelming response from fans and friends alike. Claire Rogers, a reporter at Golf.Com, commented: 'omg you two are so identical that I almost thought this was a fake photo.' Many fans echoed this sentiment, with one writing: 'Wow, you REALLY look a lot like your mom! One can see where you get your good looks from!!' Another added: 'Well, they say if you wanna know what your wife will look like later on just look at her mother. I don't think Paige has anything to worry about. Wow!'
AI or Real?
Some fans took the resemblance even further, joking that Spiranac's post must have been created using artificial intelligence. 'This has to be AI. Come on? Lightning never strikes twice like this,' one follower commented. Another wrote: 'Your mom looks like the AI version of you when you'll be older.' The photo quickly went viral, with many remarking that lightning had 'struck twice' in the family.
A Shift in Tone
Sharing a picture of her mom with her 1.1 million followers marks a change in tone for Spiranac, who started the year on a difficult note. At the beginning of 2026, she ended a mini social media hiatus after revealing she had been struggling with mental health. 'I am in a bit of a funk, a rut if you will, and it's not like a one or two day thing,' Spiranac said at the time. 'This has been going on for a little bit. I feel like I've just been so in my head about everything and I'm just trying to work through it. I think that's why I haven't been posting as much because I am just overthinking everything and I just feel like my anxiety has taken control. I feel like I haven't been active because I've just been in my own head, in this kind of funky rut and we're working through it.'
