Spiranac is a former pro turned influencer and analyst for the game, and, apparently, she wanted a shot with the reigning PGA and Open champion.

"I did go to school at SDSU with Xander Schauffele. And another fun fact is I had a crush on him, and he wanted nothing to do with me," Spiranac said on "The SPINvitational." 

"He met his wife Maya at SDSU, so it was meant to be. Didn’t work out for me in that way."

Spiranac was married to athletic trainer Steven Tinoco in 2018, but they were "no longer married" as of 2022. She is one of the top influencers in sports on social media, building a following of more than 4 million on Instagram and another 1.6 million on TikTok.

She's had plenty of collaborations due to her massive following, including a recent one with Bryson DeChambeau, which sparked dating rumors.

"I’ve had pro athletes or famous people slide in my DMs. I’ve never dated anyone famous," she said. "It’s funny because I’ll see all these headlines. There was one where I shot content with Bryson, and then a headline said I was dating him."
