divot repair tools are an essential item for golfers to have on them at all times. Repairing ball marks made on the greens is the responsibility of every golfer to help maintain course conditions and restore the playing surface for other golfers. We tested over a dozen divot tools to evaluate performance, how easy they were to carry around or if they felt weighty in pockets and the usefulness or effectiveness of extra features tacked onto the tool. Most held ball markers with a magnet, but some marks slipped during use or didn’t have a strong enough magnet to keep it secure. Many were also bottle openers that we made sure didn’t get in the way of the purpose of the tool (to fix divots) or add extra bulk to the overall design. We selected four of our favorites, two runners-up and a few honorable mentions for golfers searching for the best divot repair tool this fall.
