Golf influencer Paige Spiranac has expressed her gratitude after a medical biopsy on a lump in her breast came back negative. 

Usually very involved in the social media space, Spiranac had been noticeably absent over the festive period before revealing to her fans she had a biopsy on her breast. 

'Sorry for not being as active lately on social media. I went on vacation then head to deal with my health,' she wrote on her Instagram story.

'During an annual check up, they found a lump in my breast. I recently had to get a biopsy done. It came back negative which I'm grateful for! 

'A reminder to get your check ups and also that you never know what people are going through behind closed doors so extending kindness is important. 

'I want to thank you guys for always sending so much love and support my way.'

Spiranac, 29, has an Instagram following of 3.7million, where she posts videos of her swing, course tips and paid sponsorships promoting golf products. 

Earlier this year, she won Maxim's 2022 'World's Sexiest Woman' and in doing so, became the first sportswoman to take top spot in the magazine's hot 100 list, which first appeared in 2000. 

Spiranac's career really kicked off in 2015 when she won the 100th Colorado Women's Golf Association Match Play Championship, finishing nine under par.

An article was released the following day, and she gained 100,000 followers overnight.

Spiranac was overwhelmed with endorsement offers from golf and fashion labels, showcasing them briefly on her stint within the European Ladies' Tour. 

The PointsBet USA ambassador is the most followed golf icon across social media, with 700,000 more Instagram fans than Tiger Woods. 

The model is no fan of LIV Golf and made a wisecrack about some of its players last week.
