Nelly Korda What's In The Bag?
Five years younger than fellow LPGA player and sister Jessica Korda, Nelly Korda has become a star of the women's game, winning multiple times on the LPGA Tour, competing in Solheim Cups, winning a Major in 2021, and also winning Olympic gold in Tokyo. Here, we take a closer look at her choice of clubs.
Driver
What Driver Does Nelly Korda Use?
Korda is a brand ambassador for TaylorMade. Previously, Korda, who has also ticked off being World No.1, used a Titleist TSi1 driver, but this is no longer the case. Her weapon of choice is now the TaylorMade Qi10 Max driver, 10.5°, which is fitted with a Mitsubishi Diamana GT 60 S shaft.
With a vastly different head shape to the TaylorMade norm and exceptional levels of forgiveness, we believe that this driver could be a real market disruptor; it's incredibly easy to launch and with impressive stability, it's sure to hold a lot of appeal for many golfers. It's unquestionably one of the best golf drivers in the game.
“The reason why I picked the Qi10 Max driver is the look of it compared to the other models. When I put it down and look at it I feel like I can hit any shot I want with the subtle blue face and silver topline,” Korda says.
“When I look down at it I feel like I can aim it realy well and I know where the center of the clubface too. For a golfer, if you don’t like the look of the club, you’re never going to be able to it hit. Once I put the Qi10 Max down and teed it up, I feel like I could hit any shot I wanted to.”
Fairway Woods
What Fairway Wood Does Nelly Korda Use?
Korda plays two TaylorMade Stealth 2 fairway woods, one of which acts as her three-wood with 15° of loft, and the other is more of a seven-wood with 21° of loft. They feature the Fujikura Ventus Red 7 S and Fujikura Ventus Black 7 S shafts, respectively.
Having put this club to the test on the golf course, we were very impressed with the feedback it offered; it is a very consistent club that caters to less experienced players, thanks mostly to how the weight is distributed lower in the clubhead.
Hybrid
What Hybrid Does Nelly Korda Use?
It is our understanding that Korda also carries a hybrid, the Ping G425, which has 26° of loft and features a Fujikura Ventus Blue HB 7 S shaft. It sounds as though this is a bit of an old favorite that helps do a job at the top end of the bag, especially with long approaches or tee shots on tight holes where precision is required.
Irons
What Irons Does Nelly Korda Use?
Korda, one of the best ball strikers in the women's game, has a mixed line-up of TaylorMade irons. Her 5-iron is a TaylorMade P770; then she plays TaylorMade P7MC irons (6-PW), which is a hugely popular model on Tour. Her irons are fitted with the AeroTech SteelFiber i80 cw shaft.
The TaylorMade P770 irons were relaunched back in the summer of 2020, and the second generation of these clubs earned a spot in our Editor's Choice awards for 2023 due to it's exceptional performance.
Wedges
What Wedges Does Nelly Korda Use?
At the bottom end of the bag, Korda carries two TaylorMade MG4 wedges (50°-09SB, 54°-13HB). These two wedges are fitted with AeroTech SteelFiber i95 cw shafts. This is a great-looking wedge that spins at a consistently high level regardless of conditions. We also found it to be grippy on longer chips and pitches, too.
That's not the wedge line-up complete, because Korda also has a Titleist Vokey WedgeWorks (58° T Grind), which she has personalised with her initials.
Putter
What Putter Does Nelly Korda Use?
Korda used to own a Scotty Cameron Special Select Squareback 2 Prototype, but it appears that she is now using a Logan Olson prototype, which features a TaylorMade Golf Pride Pistol grip. This is a model that she was spotted using at the Grant Thornton Invitational. It's a similar model that Scottie Scheffler used to win the Hero World Challenge.
Although there is limited information on the putter, Olson Golf is a company formed by Logan Olson, who, according to his Instagram page, is a "Metal worker, programmer, machinist and your friendly neighborhood putter maker."
It's not clear whether Korda has settled on the model, and we may well see her revert back to her Scotty Cameron, a brand, of course, that crafts some of the very best putters on the market.
Ball
What Ball Does Nelly Korda Use?
Korda plays the TaylorMade TP5x golf ball, which has been one of the best premium golf balls that money can buy for some time. This ball offers a firmer feel compared to its sibling, the TaylorMade TP5 golf ball. If you are after a more 'clicky' feel around the greens and powerful 'thud' from the tee, the TP5x golf ball is for you.
Apparel/Shoes
What Shoes Does Nelly Korda Wear?
Korda is the perfect fit for Nike. In 2023, she announced her apparel deal with the sportswear giant with a social media post. As well as wearing Nike clothing, the American star wears Nike shoes. We believe there are some new models on the way, and we would expect to see Korda wearing some eye-catching styles as the 2024 season progresses.
