Remember when Draco Malfoy got married in the final Harry Potter film? Well, that bride has a fascinating real-life story that led her from the magical world of Hogwarts to the fairways of the PGA Tour. Jade Olivia Gordon, who played Astoria Greengrass in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, has carved out an impressive career in Hollywood while supporting her husband, PGA Tour pro Patrick Rodgers.
Their love story began in December 2016, and by January 2017, they were sharing their happiness on Instagram. After a romantic proposal in December 2017, they celebrated their union at the picturesque Vizcaya Museum & Gardens in Miami on May 26, 2019. December seems to be their lucky month—in 2020, they welcomed their first child, son Rafi Fox Gordon. The family grew again in 2024 with the arrival of their daughter Rosie, completing their happy quartet.
But while Gordon embraces her role as a mother and golf wife, her professional journey in Hollywood tells an equally compelling story. From coordinating death-defying stunts to producing documentaries, she’s built a career that’s as dynamic as it is diverse.
Behind the scenes: How Patrick Rodgers and Jade Gordon blend Hollywood action with PGA Tour ambition
Gordon’s Hollywood journey is far more extensive than her brief appearance in the wizarding world. Starting as a stunt secretary on United 93 in 2006, she quickly proved her mettle in the high-stakes world of film production. Her career evolved from coordinating stunts in the Harry Potter franchise to taking on major responsibilities in blockbusters. One of her early significant roles came in 2010 with Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, where she honed her skills in action sequence coordination.
Beyond stunt work, Gordon has showcased her versatility in the film industry. She co-produced the documentary Tom Felton Meets the Superfans and the series Good Day L.A., demonstrating her talent both in front of and behind the camera. Her impressive portfolio expanded to include work as a stunt assistant on major films like Edge of Tomorrow and Avengers: Endgame. She even served as an assistant to acclaimed actors like Emily Blunt during the filming of Belle (2013), building a reputation for excellence in Hollywood’s demanding action scene.
Golf’s power couples: When entertainment meets sport
Gordon and Rodgers aren’t the only ones bridging the gap between entertainment and golf. Dustin Johnson and Paulina Gretzky have similarly navigated the delicate balance of sport and showbiz. “I chose this for my children,” Johnson famously said about career decisions, echoing the family-first mentality that many golf couples share.
Looking at other notable pairs, Jon Rahm and Kelley Cahill represent another dynamic duo. Cahill, a former collegiate javelin thrower and tennis player, brings her own athletic prowess to their relationship. Their competitive spirit even sparked a memorable tennis match that left Cahill admitting, “He was so good. I was actually mad for a day or two.”
Perhaps the most iconic example remains Jack Nicklaus and Barbara Nicklaus. While Jack dominated the fairways, Barbara carved her own legacy as a philanthropist, receiving the prestigious USGA’s Bob Jones Award in 2015. Their foundation has raised over $195 million for pediatric healthcare, proving that golf couples can impact both sport and society.
