Paige Spiranac Got 'Greatest Experience of my Life' with Tiger Woods
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources.
Any golf fan would give almost anything for a lesson from the legendary Tiger Woods. Well, the equally famous Paige Spiranac had that opportunity, and naturally, it was unforgettable.
Spiranac recounted the experience during a recent interview on the Vanity Index podcast by Skratch. The former pro player and current influencer also revealed what impressed her most about Woods—and it wasn't precisely his golf skills.
"He gave me a chipping lesson once. It was like the greatest experience of my life," Spiranac said. "He smells so good, by the way... like that was the first thing I noticed."
"I remember he hugged me, and he smelled so good, and I didn't take my jacket off or wash it for an embarrassingly long time because I was like, 'I feel and smell like a winner,'" she added.
Of course, the moment also involved the highest quality of golf. Spiranac described the lesson she received from Tiger Woods just as you would expect from such an opportunity.
"We were doing this low little spinny shot and so we opened the club up almost like on your back, open stance, narrow choke down, and you take it out and almost slice across it and it's really...if you hit it with like a 54 [degree wedge] it comes out low and then checks on the second bounce. It's a really cool shot. He did [demonstrate it] and it was perfect."
Paige Spiranac is the golf personality with the most followers on social media. She is currently followed by more than one million X users, more than four million on Instagram and more than 1.4 million on TikTok. Her YouTube channel has over 445,000 subscribers.

Spiranac's career as a golf influencer began about 10 years ago when she was still trying to make it as a professional golfer. She played in the Cactus League, a mini tour, where she even won a tournament. She then tried to earn her LPGA Tour card via Q-School, but failed on her first attempt and gave up.
Last year, Spiranac revealed that she had given up on a professional golf career because life on the tour was too emotionally demanding for her.

Meghan Markle's Instagram Views Compared to William and Kate
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Meghan Markle's Instagram reels have had more views in 2025 than Prince William and Princess Kate's despite having far fewer followers. The Duchess of Sussex had been off social media for almost four years before her surprise return on January 1, 2025. The move came ahead of a flurry of new projects, her Netflix cooking show With Love, Meghan, her online shop As Ever and her podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder. Prince William and Princess Kate in front of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at the Commonwealth Day service, at Westminster Abbey, in London, on March 9, 2020. Prince William and Princess Kate in front of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at the Commonwealth Day service, at Westminster Abbey, in London, on March 9, 2020. Phil Harris -Why It Matters Despite her long absence from Instagram, Meghan appeared to quickly regain a substantial audience, leaving her well placed to market her businesses directly to fans. And it is doubly striking that she has quickly exceeded William and Kate's established audience, who have been consistently served videos from their royal engagements dating back years. Meghan Markle's Instagram Account The duchess posts pictures and videos connected to her lifestyle brand and Netflix show, as well as her personal life, and has 3 million followers. Her most viewed reel announced she was rebranding her online shop from American Riviera Orchard to As Ever and has had 26.9 million views since February 17. The post with the least views got 2.7 million and showed her arranging flowers set to the LL Cool J song Doin' It. Across 22 reels, she has had a total of 168 million views and an average of 7.6 million per post. Meghan's 2025 Stats Followers: 3 million Number of Reels: 22 Total Views: 168 million Top Reel: 26.9 million Average Views: 7.6 million Fewest Views: 2.7 million Prince William and Princess Kate's Instagram The Prince and Princess of Wales have had their Instagram for far longer and also post across a range of other platforms, including Twitter and YouTube. Their most viewed post of the year so far was a collaboration with science influencer Big Manny, a favorite among British parents and teenagers, which gained 17.6 million views. Next came a video released to mark Prince Louis' birthday in May, which got 11 million views and showed him playing and jumping in woodland. Their least viewed video was a post from March 11 about Prince William learning to be a soccer referee which got 1.1 million views. Their lower view count came despite having 16.8 million followers, almost six times as many as Meghan. William and Kate's 2025 Stats Followers: 16.8 million Number of Reels: 47 Total Views: 134.8 million Top Reel: 17.6 million Average Views: 2.8 million Fewest Views: 1.1 million Analysis One reason Meghan's posts gain more audience than William and Kate's despite her lower follower count may be that her Instagram is the only place to get updates directly from her. By contrast, not only do William and Kate have other social media accounts but most of their videos show royal engagements that were also covered live by British journalists and photographers from the royal rota. Their Instagram reels are therefore a stylized, more curated version of content already in the public domain, and are less frequently the original source for major announcements. For example, Meghan announced As Ever through an Instagram video, meaning news of the relaunch began with her post which was then widely cited as the source for follow up news stories. Yet, Princess Kate's announcement that she was in remission from cancer began with a press release about a visit to the Royal Marsden Hospital around lunch time. This generated an initial wave of stories about her visit, at which journalists and photographers were present, followed up later by an announcement in text form that she was in remission. Separately, she posted an Instagram reel about the January 14 visit but it did not mention the key news that she was in remission, simply stating: "The work of the @royalmarsden is world-leading, pioneering and lifesaving. "It's a remarkable charity supporting advances in cancer research, treatment and care, and the work of a hospital that has done so much for so many." The Instagram reel got 4.5 million views, some way below the couple's peek of 17.6 million. Needless to say, it will have been encouraging for Meghan to see high view counts on her Instagram posts after such a long absence. Not only does she have fewer followers than William and Kate but she has also not caught up with her and Prince Harry's now defunct Sussex Royal, which had 8.8 million followers compared to Meghan's 3 million. The views on her reels, however, show that follower numbers are not the only or even the most reliable way to measure the reach of a specific account. Additionally, Meghan may well have been relieved to see she can still generate significant audience after months of negative reviews in both the American and British media.

Pinterest wooed Gen Zers. Will AI pins drive them away?
Loving Pinterest has long been a part of my secretly middle-aged personality. I have 16.1k pins to my name to prove it. I started my account in middle school eight years ago, and Pinterest has been a dear companion to me ever since. I used to log on every day to tuck away precious ideas and artworks into my boards, which I could take out to admire every time I needed advice, a joke, or a drawing lesson. I am not alone in this. Pinterest says that 42% of its global user base is Gen Z. 'I think Gen Z has really latched onto Pinterest as a safe platform to use, especially with so much happening around other social media platforms,' says Lois, whose Tiktok videos about Pinterest under the username dandydemon have garnered over six million views. 'Pinterest is a very atypical social media platform. It's not like Instagram, it's not like TikTok, where you're actively scrolling. It's a very personalized social media platform, and it feels almost like a journal of sorts for people.' But for many users like Lois, a worrying pattern has emerged over the past couple of years. 'There is so much AI on the platform . . . that it's hard to determine what [posts are] AI, and where it is coming from,' she says. Other people like Reddit user InterationInternal agree. 'I was looking for hair color inspo and it was all AI. I couldn't find a single human!! Then [I] typed in nail inspo, interior design – same thing. Is this platform dead?' they wrote in a thread titled 'Pinterest is 100% AI now?' R/Pinterest hosts hundreds of posts with similar complaints. Frustration over AI content and the recent mass deletion of user accounts is boiling over to the point where many users are leaving the platform for alternatives. Andy McCune, cofounder and CEO of the curation app Cosmos, says that after launching in August 2024, Cosmos has already gained millions of users. And, in the couple of days after Lois shouted out the platform as a Pinterest alternative in her a video discussing the Pinterest bans, McCune noted that Cosmos saw tens of thousands of new users join the platform. The final deadline for Fast Company's Brands That Matter Awards is this Friday, May 30, at 11:59 p.m. PT. Apply today.
