Paige Spiranac, golf’s most unfiltered social media star, is never one to hold back—and this time, she’s swinging at slow play. In a candid moment that has both fans and fairways buzzing, Spiranac revealed the “slowest golfer” she’s ever played with, and let’s just say… it wasn’t who anyone expected.
During a recent Q&A on her podcast “Playing A Round,” the former pro-turned-influencer didn’t hesitate when asked who drags the most on the course. Her answer? None other than NFL legend Rob Gronkowski. Yes, that Gronk—four-time Super Bowl champ, party animal, and apparently, the human rain delay of golf.
“I love Gronk, but man, he takes forever to line up a putt,” Spiranac laughed. “He’s all energy and hype, but when it comes to actually hitting the ball, it’s like watching paint dry in slow motion.”
Naturally, the internet lost it. Fans flooded social media with memes of Gronk taking ten minutes to address the ball and still shanking it into a water hazard. Some even speculated that Spiranac was just being cheeky, while others chimed in with their own horror stories of celebrity charity rounds that turned into five-hour marathons.
But beyond the joke, Spiranac’s comment taps into a real gripe in the golfing world: slow play kills momentum, ruins vibes, and tests patience like nothing else. And if even Gronk—with all his charisma—can’t keep things moving, what hope is there for weekend warriors?
To be fair, Gronk probably adds enough entertainment to keep any round fun, even if it takes all day. But Paige Spiranac, as always, delivers her truth with a wink—and a drive that’s a lot faster than her former playing partner’s pre-shot routine.
So here’s the takeaway: if you ever get paired with Gronk, pack snacks. And maybe a pillow.
