“So excited to be playing!” exclaimed an eager Paige Spiranac as she alluded to the upcoming Creator Classic. But that doesn’t mean she wasn’t anxious about the event, which tees off on August 29. She had expressed her nervousness about it before, and it seems not much has changed, especially after the odds for the contest were released. But not to worry—Spiranac managed to approach it all with a sense of humor despite her tense mindset.
The 31-year-old shared a story on her Instagram mentioning how she is preparing for the contest at East Lake while pointing out how “it is coming up very soon.” She also revealed how she is “just trying to get some reps in right now on the golf course.” While practicing her game to perform her best at the event, she made sure to joke about the stress and anxiety.

“Pressure’s off,” joked Spiranac as she recounted the odds for the tournament, “Because odds are in and I am the favorite to come at last place.” Interestingly, BetCarolina.com, on August 15, released the list of content creators participating in the iconic tournament. According to them, the social media influencer is ranked last with odds of +12500 and a 0.8 percent chance of winning, possibly reflecting how many doubt her chances of coming out on top.
Spiranac then humorously added how “it can only go up from here,” before reiterating,“Now I can just go out and have some fun.” However, the truth was anything but that. “I am nervous,” disclosed the diva soon after, adding, “I don’t know how I’m going to do. But game feels okay.”
This isn’t the first time she has expressed her anxiety about the 2024 Creator Classic, which will tee off ahead of the PGA Tour season finale. “Wish me luck lol,” wrote Spiranac on her social media handle, adding, “I’m nervous.”
Well, who wouldn’t be, especially since this is the inaugural edition of the event showcasing 16 talented golfers?
