Born on November 21, 2002, in Newport Beach, California, Grace Charis emerged into public view not initially as a traditional competitive golfer but as a social-media-savvy figure merging lifestyle, fashion and sport.
Standing at approximately 5 feet 6 inches (168 cm) tall, with a reported weight of around 55–56 kg, Charis presents a striking visual profile as she blends athleticism and influencer style.
Her trajectory into golf came somewhat later than many elite players; she has described that during the COVID-19 pandemic, she needed a new athletic outlet as previous sporting ambitions paused, which led her into golf via a friend’s invitation, according to SI.com.
What stands out early on is the dual path she chose: one foot in the world of content creation, the other foot on the golf course. That duality has defined her rise.

The Rise: Social Media Meets the Golf Course
Charis’s rise is less the classic story of amateur to professional tour player and more the story of a modern athlete-influencer moulding both sport and digital brand. From early posts of slow-motion swing videos and stylish golf course apparel, she rapidly accumulated followers across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.
She has openly admitted that early on her content was driven by what performed best — “I would post golf stuff, and it did well, so I was like ‘okay, I’ll post more golf stuff’,” she told a media outlet.
In April 2025, she launched her own apparel brand, Dialled Golf, aimed at “adventure-driven golfers” seeking functional yet stylish performance wear.
Importantly, she also began aligning more seriously with golf itself: competing in an event on the Ladies European Tour (LET) and increasing her training to move beyond purely influencer status.
Her rise triggers debate. Some purists question the influencer-first model, including comments made by Rory McIlroy, who called influencers “entertainment adjacent”, according to the South China Morning Post. Yet Charis argues that bringing new eyeballs to the sport—even if via style or personality—serves golf’s growth.
Age, Height, Net-Worth and Personal Metrics
At 22 years old (as of 2024’s end), Grace Charis is young in both age and career arc, giving her ample runway ahead. Her height, as noted above, is approximately 5′6″ (168 cm).
On financials: her net worth is estimated at around US$1 million, according to multiple online biographies. That figure reflects her influencer earnings, brand partnerships (with big names like Adidas, Titleist, Nike, Callaway Golf) and her entrepreneurial ventures (such as her apparel brand).
While she is not yet a household name on professional tour leaderboards, her influence, business acumen and social media traction serve as valuable currency in today’s sports-fashion-media ecosystem.
What It All Means: The Future of Her Golf Journey
Grace Charis’s path prompts interesting questions about the evolving nature of sport, media and athlete identity. Rather than progressing solely through junior amateur ranks and professional tour wins, she blends content creation, style, commerce and athletic ambition.
Her next steps appear to focus more intentionally on the “golf” side: an increase in tournaments, deeper training, refining her swing and status as a serious competitor rather than purely an influencer. Meanwhile, her apparel brand and social reach provide stability and diversification beyond tournament results.
For the sport of golf, her presence can be framed as double-edged: she undoubtedly introduces younger, more diverse viewers and consumers to golf; yet her model raises discussion on athletic legitimacy, performance vs presentation, and where the emphasis lies.
The fact is that Grace Charis is not yet a major tour winner (and may never focus on that alone), but she is emblematic of 21st-century sport where the intersection of social influence, personal brand and athletic endeavour creates new kinds of “rises”.
If she continues to evolve her golf craft and leverages her business & media assets intelligently, she may become a template for influencers turned athletes in other sports. The key will be consistency, performance growth and managing the dual identity of athlete + brand.
For now, her story invites us to ask: what defines success in sport today? Is it purely championships, or can it be reach, impact, brand creation and redefining norms? Grace Charis is forging an answer on the turf of both social media and the fairway.
Conclusion
From a Californian teenager discovering golf during the pandemic, to a 22-year-old influencer-entrepreneur with a million-dollar net worth and her own brand, Grace Charis is forging a novel path in golf’s ecosystem. Her height and age fit a young athlete in ascent; her business ventures suggest a savvy beyond just swings; and her rising presence on the Ladies European Tour signals she’s serious about the sport, not just the stardom. The question isn’t just who she is—but how she will shape the future of golf’s image.
