Paige Spiranac, a well-known golf influencer, revealed on the Vanity Index Podcast that Chris Pratt is the slowest celebrity golfer she has ever played with. Spiranac shared her experience from a Ryder Cup-style match at the Genesis Invitational where she and Nick Jonas were paired against Pratt and golf legend Fred Couples. Although she described Pratt as a “super nice guy,” she noted that their round took over three and a half hours for just nine holes, leaving them two hours behind the group ahead.
The reason for the slow pace wasn’t due to Pratt’s golfing skills, but rather his engaging storytelling, which often kept him on the tee box for more than five minutes before taking his shot. Spiranac added that while slow play can be frustrating, especially in competitive settings, there’s often more leniency during charity and celebrity events.
Overall, her anecdote about Pratt has circulated positively, with many taking it as a lighthearted critique rather than a harsh judgment. Spiranac, who transitioned from professional golf to a popular social media personality and recently appeared in the sequel to Happy Gilmore, continues to share candid insights from her golfing experiences with celebrities.
