MusaPaige Spiranac has never been one to bite her tongue, and this week’s celebrity golf showdown gave her another golden opportunity to remind us why she’s the queen of keeping it real. In a star-studded event packed with athletes, actors, and influencers, it wasn’t just the swings that drew attention—it was the painfully slow pace of one particular A-lister that had Paige seeing red. Or, more accurately, seeing Guardians of the Fairway.
The target of her ire? None other than Chris Pratt, aka Star-Lord himself. And Spiranac didn’t hold back. “Hit the ball, Star-Lord!” she shouted mid-round, half-laughing, half-exasperated, as Pratt took what felt like an eternity lining up a routine putt. The crowd chuckled, but the message was clear: play faster, or risk getting roasted by golf’s most unapologetic social media icon.
Spiranac, a former pro turned media firecracker, later took to her platform to double down: “We all love a bit of strategy, but this isn’t chess on grass. If I wanted to watch someone overanalyze for ten minutes, I’d turn on Jeopardy reruns.”
Fans loved it. Social media lit up with clips of the moment, turning “Hit the ball, Star-Lord!” into an instant meme. Even Pratt seemed to take it in stride, offering a sheepish grin and speeding things up—slightly.
While some traditionalists clutched their pearls, most agreed with Paige: golf can be elite and entertaining, but there’s a fine line between dramatic tension and dead air. And if anyone’s going to draw that line with sass, swagger, and a mic-drop one-liner, it’s Paige Spiranac.
Next time, Chris—less intergalactic thinking, more actual swinging.
