Golf influencers are a rapidly increasing breed with Instagram now filled with up-and-coming female golfers making a living on social media.
Paige Spiranac was the OG, emerging from a collegiate golf career to make millions online with video content on the golf course.
Her success has prompted a sea of new influencers bidding for a slice of the pie, posting everything from instructional videos to fun content and challenges.
With the emergence of a host of rivals to Spiranac, leading golf site GolfReviewsGuide.com have come up with their top five golf influencers.
1. Paige Spiranac
Spiranac was the first to cotton on to the opportunity that social media offered to attractive, and perhaps controversial from time to time, female golfers. The growing interest in the sport meant she had a captive audience.
She was, and still is, a talented golfer with Spiranac representing San Diego State Universityduring her collegiate career.
It was at this time that she began to share content and photographs and videos on her social media, accounts which now boast around four million followers.
Spiranac turned professional in 2015 played on the Cactus Tour, Symetra Tour and the Ladies European Tour. Having failed to really make an impact, she sound turned to her influencer ways full-time and remains the most followed.
2. Grace Charis
A newer influencer on the block, Charis channels a lot of Spiranac’s ways in her online content – wearing skimpy golf attire on the course.
She followed a different path to her online success having Charis studied business and entrepreneurship at the University of Southern California and not golf.
Charis launched her own online boutique, which quickly gained a following on social media, beauty products and a number of other business ventures – perhaps hardly surprising for an entrepreneurship student.
She tapped into the growing golf market with some crossover content and now entertain more than two million followers to her social accounts.
3. Claire Hogle
Hogle followed a similar path to stardom as Spiranac having turned professional as a golfer in 2015. And just like Spiranac, online content is now what she focuses on.
She attended college at the University of Michigan, earning a degree in communications, and has used everything learned to build up a large following on her social media accounts that sits at around one million.
Hogle focuses much more on golf than the scantily-clad Spiranac and Charis, and as a result works with a number of big golfing brands to promote clubs, clothing and more.
4. Gabby Golf Girl
The newest kid on the block and the youngest too, Gabby Golf Girl – or Gabriella DeGasperis – to give her full name – is a real star with entertaining golf content.
She first started her Instagram account at the age of seven and her account now has quarter of a million followers and counting.
Still at school and not graduating from university until 2026, she has built up a huge following around the world with her trick shots, helpful tips and entertaining snippets from the course that underline how just how far ahead of her tender years the teenager is.
5. Sabrina Andolpho
The final spot on this list had many contenders, but Andolpho got the vote ahead of Cailyn Henderson with both up-and-coming influencers.
Andolpho was a talented collegiate golfer but now focuses on her booming online business via a variety of entertaining videos and social media posts.
To around 200,000 followers, Andolpho shares the good and the bad of her game in her interesting on-the-course vlogs and it is the honest – and her tight fitting skirts – that have helped her catch the attention.
