Paige Spiranac isn’t shy about sharing her thoughts, but her latest comments about golf legend Tiger Woods raised more than a few eyebrows. In an interview, the former pro golfer turned influencer got candid about a private moment with Woods that clearly left a lasting impression- and it wasn’t just about golf.

“He gave me a chipping lesson once. It was like the greatest experience of my life,” Spiranac recalled. But it wasn’t Woods’ legendary short game that attracted her.

“He smells so good, by the way… like that was the first thing I noticed.” The revelation came with a laugh, but there was no denying the impact that moment had on her.

Spiranac didn’t hold back as she shared more about the encounter.

“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 said.

When asked what Woods smelled like, she gave a cheeky but pointed answer: “Success.”

The interaction reportedly happened during a golf lesson, though Spiranac didn’t reveal the exact date or location. Despite the mystery, the encounter clearly made waves in her memory. “That was the first thing I noticed,”

With more than four million followers on Instagram, Spiranac commands a larger online audience than Woods, who has 3.6 million. Known for her openness and humor, she has often spoken about figures in golf with surprising honesty. Her comments on Woods follow a pattern, she previously defended him during the 2009 cheating scandal, calling out what she felt was excessive public judgment.

“Even when all this was happening, I think people were being too hard on him,” she said on her podcast. “You look at your own life and the things you’ve done, no one lives a perfect life, we all make mistakes.”

Woods, now 49, remains one of golf’s most respected names despite recent health setbacks. Following Achilles surgery, he isn’t expected to play in a major tournament in 2025, with a possible return slated for the 2026 Masters.

Still, the admiration Spiranac holds for him hasn’t faded. When Tiger Woods walks into a room, he doesn’t just bring talent. According to Spiranac, he brings a scent of greatness too.
