Harry Potter fans will love Chase Johnson’s unique “Ravenclaw” divot tool
Chase Johnson is stealing the hearts of golf fans (and Harry Potter lovers!) this week at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
The 27-year-old professional golfer from Ohio won the third annual John Shippen Invitational – an event that hosts Black pros and amateurs from across the world – on Sunday at Detroit Golf Club to earn a spot in the Rocket Mortgage (and pocket the $20K prize).
“I really worked hard the last year and a half to fine tune some things since I lost my Korn Ferry card, and it’s been paying off over and over again,” Johnson said in a press conference on Tuesday. “Honestly, the last year I’ve gotten a lot of support from my parents, my fiancée and a lot of close-knit people that I’m in constant contact with. They know who they are. It’s been a long journey since I lost my card and we’re on the up and up and I’m excited to be back and have another chance.”
Johnson then continued his memorable week by making the cut on Friday, and PGA Tour cameras were there to capture the heart-warming moments with his family after making his first-ever PGA Tour cut. Check out the video embedded below:
On Wednesday, prior to Rocket Mortgage, GolfWRX.com and the PGA Tour caught up with Johnson to check out the equipment he has in the bag.
As we uncovered, the Cobra staffer uses Cobra’s Rev33 RF Proto copper-colored blade irons that were designed specifically for Rickie Fowler. Funny enough, Fowler no longer uses the irons himself, which makes Johnson the only PGA Tour player currently using the eye-catching iron models.
As Johnson explains in the video above, he also recently switched into a Cobra King Prototype 7-wood with rails added to the sole for better turf interaction (fellow Cobra staffer Gary Woodland also began employing the prototype fairway wood head at the 2023 PGA Championship).
GolfWRX didn’t just get a look at Johnson’s clubs, though. He also showed off his lucky ball marker from St. Andrews, and his custom Harry Potter-inspired “Ravenclaw” divot tool.

Ravenclaws are known for their intelligence, creativity, and wisdom. Apparently, Ravenclaws are also known for making cuts in PGA Tour events, too.
