Paige Spiranac's 'perfect' golf outfit turns heads as influencer posts raunchy new video
Golf influencer Paige Spiranac turned heads with a raunchy practice video on Friday ahead of the Internet Innovational. Spiranac will compete at the Barstool Sports-sponsored tournament on August 12 against the likes of Grant Horvat, J.R. Smith and Jon Gruden. And Spiranac offered a glimpse into her preparations as she treated her fans to a video of her practicing in a pink halter dress. Spiranac posed and smiled for the camera in slow motion, while a song with the lyrics 'baby how you f*** with my head' played in the background. The social media star captioned the post 'Practice makes perfect,' and the video was certainly a hit with fans. 'Killing it,' one wrote. Practice makes perfect⛳️ — Paige Spiranac (@PaigeSpiranac) July 11, 2025 'It would be a dream come true to play a round of golf with you,' another said. And a third said: 'I'm betting on you winning!' Spiranac, who previously pursued a career as a pro golfer before gaining online fame, shared a theory last month about how to perform better on the course. She dressed in more conservative attire during a recent trip to the course as she wore a buttoned-up polo shirt and shorts. And after she performed below her best, she shared a theory with her fans. 'If you've been following me for awhile you know I have this working theory that I play better when I wear less clothes,' she wrote on X above a photo of her in the polo. 'Can confirm that science is right once again. I played like [poop emoji] today.' Spiranac announced some big news in May as she announced she'd be joining the Grass League - the first high-stakes par 3 golf league. While she didn't confirm the exact nature of her position, the Grass League announced that 'golf's most influential female voice' would be joining in a 'strategic leadership role.' 'A trailblazer in both professional golf and modern sports media, Spiranac will work closely with league leadership to shape the long-term vision and growth strategy for The Grass League,' a press release read. 'Her role will encompass brand development, storytelling, creative, business development and overall content and audience strategy, positioning the league to scale it's reach across digital, broadcast, and live experiences.

Meta introduces Oakley AI smart glasses that start at $399
Meta is expanding its line of AI-powered eyewear through a new partnership with sportswear brand Oakley. The new smart glasses introduced Friday, called Oakley Meta HSTN, were built for performance wear and are intended for "athletes and fans alike" according to a Meta statement. The full lineup will arrive this summer, Meta says, with glasses starting at $399. "Built for life on the field, trail, or track, with everyday use cases, Oakley Meta is here to evolve sport and enhance performance," Meta states on its website. The high-tech frames are part of Meta's partnership with EssilorLuxottica, the eyewear brand Meta worked with to launch its first round of AI sunglasses with Ray-Ban in 2021. While the Oakley Meta HSTN glasses feature Oakley's typical style, the frames also include Meta's technology, with small cameras that can record videos hands-free and Bluetooth speakers so wearers can listen to music and podcasts while they are on the go. The smart glasses also allow users to send and receive text messages and make calls. Each pair is equipped with a personal AI assistant that answers questions after being prompted by the phrase, "Hey Meta." In a teaser video, former NBA player J.R. Smith is shown playing golf with the glasses on when he asks, "Hey Meta, how strong is the wind today?" "The wind is blowing 12 mph from the northwest," Meta AI responds. As the glasses are intended for athletes, Meta is leaning on popular sports figures to get the word out. The advertising campaign will be led by World Cup winner Kylian Mbappé and three-time Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes, Meta said in its statement.

Do athletes need smart glasses? Meta and Oakley think so
TL;DR Meta just launched the Oakley Meta HSTN, a new pair of AI-powered smart glasses for athletes. The glasses feature a 3K camera, open-ear speakers, IPX4 water resistance, and built-in Meta AI. A $499 limited edition arrives July 11, with cheaper models and broader availability to follow. Smart glasses haven't gone mainstream yet, but Meta's not giving up. After targeting the fashion crowd with its Ray-Ban Meta lineup, the company is trying to convince us that the eyewear is a must-have for athletes with the launch of the Oakley Meta HSTN AI glasses. Announcing the launch in its Newsroom, Meta is calling in serious sporting royalty to get people talking about the new device. Kylian Mbappé and Patrick Mahomes headline the launch campaign, with appearances from other pro athletes like J.R. Smith and Boo Johnson. The HSTN (pronounced 'HOW-stuhn') is based on an existing Oakley frame design but adds smart features, including a built-in 3K camera, open-ear speakers, IPX4 water resistance, and Meta AI as a voice assistant. The idea is you can ask it questions during a workout, play a podcast without headphones, or shoot video of your latest trick hands-free. Battery life is rated at up to eight hours of typical use, and the included case holds another 48 hours of charge. The Oakley Meta glasses have been rumored for a while under the codename Supernova 2, and were expected to carry over much of the functionality from the Ray-Ban models, minus a display. At $499 for the limited edition, they're priced firmly in high-end territory, though more models starting at $399 are coming later this summer. Preorders open July 11, with initial availability in North America, Europe, and Australia, and more countries (including Mexico and India) to follow. You can find out more and register your interest on the Meta or Oakley websites. The campaign will also appear at major sporting events like Fanatics Fest and UFC Fight Week. Whether there's a real market for AI-enhanced glasses on the playing field remains to be seen. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .
