(RIDGEFIELD, Conn.) – Player Development Index (PDI) is proud to announce a new partnership with professional golfer Chase Johnson. This collaboration will spotlight Johnson as an official ambassador of PDI, promoting its mission to deliver objective performance insight and modernize how golfers train and develop.
A standout athlete from Kent State University, Chase Johnson has spent the last several years building a name for himself on the professional circuit. The Ohio native has recorded strong finishes on the APGA Tour, earned his way into PGA Tour fields, and continues to pursue his goals on golf’s biggest stages. Known for his disciplined work ethic and commitment to growth, Johnson brings valuable perspective to PDI’s mission of smarter, data-informed training.
Through the partnership, Johnson will complete his own PDI evaluation and integrate its data-driven tools into his routine. He will also work alongside the PDI team to promote the platform to other aspiring and competitive players.
“Data doesn’t lie,” said Johnson. “What I love about PDI is that it gives players a clear picture of where they are and where they need to go. It’s about building a plan that actually makes sense for your game.”
PDI’s proprietary assessment platform helps golfers identify specific performance gaps and prioritize areas of development through a standardized scoring system. It’s currently being used by athletes, coaches, and academies worldwide to track progress and create accountability in training.
“Chase is a great example of a player who’s put in the work and continues to evolve,” said Eric Allen, CEO of Player Development Index. “Having him represent the platform shows other players that this tool is powerful for golfers at practically all ages and stages. It’s for anyone who’s serious about getting better.”
As Johnson competes throughout the 2025 season, he’ll serve as a visible presence for PDI, helping spread awareness of the new development solution and sharing how it’s helping him perform at a higher level.
