Paige Spiranac celebrated the final round of the Genesis Invitational the best way she knows how – by showing off her incredible skill on the course. The golf personality flexed her abilities from the tee in her most recent social media post while giving a nod to Tiger Woods.
Woods, of course, is a big part of this annual event. Though he’s yet to win, he serves as a co-host for the tournament which helps benefit his TGR Foundation’s mission of “empowering students to pursue their passions through education.”
This year’s edition was even more monumental for Tiger as he returned to the PGA Tour for his first tournament in 10 months after withdrawing from the Masters last April.
Unfortunately, he was unable to make it to Sunday, pulling out of the field with an illness on Friday.
Still, it was great to see him back on the course given that long absence, and he played well given the circumstances, even if he did look human at points throughout his first two rounds.
In what has been a week of headlines for the professional golfer, he also recently made waves by unveiling a new “Sun Day Red” apparel line following his split with longtime partner Nike.
Giving a nod to Woods, Paige Spiranac wore her red on Sunday, too, taking a few swings in the simulator to celebrate the Genesis Invitational’s final round of action.

“Just trying to be like Tiger with my Sunday red,” the caption read accompanied by a video of Spiranac blasting a 285-yard drive.
Not too shabby!
While there was no official Sunday red on the course at the Riviera Country Club this weekend in regard to Tiger Woods or Spiranac, there was an exciting final day of golf.
Hideki Matsuyama overcame a six-stroke deficit to win the Genesis Invitational with a record-setting final round of 62.
