Nelly Korda's Winning Bag | Drive On Championship
Despite leading for most of the tournament, Nelly Korda needed an eagle-birdie finish just to force a playoff at the Drive On Championship. She'd end up outlasting Lydia Ko on the second playoff hole to secure her first victory since 2022.
Korda is a TaylorMade staffer and played with a bag primarily made of TaylorMade clubs.
Driver: TaylorMade Qi10 Max
Korda rocks TaylorMade's newest driver in her bag, playing with the Qi10 Max. It has an unprecedented 10K MOI, the highest combined inertia in TaylorMade history! It served Korda well as she hit 44 out of a possible 56 fairways throughout the course of the tournament. Though the Max isn't the lowest spinning, or potentially longest model of the Qi10 series, Korda was able to hammer the ball all weekend long, averaging 265 yards off the tee.
Fairway Woods: Taylormade Stealth 2 (3-Wood, 7-Wood)
While she uses TaylorMade's newest driver, Korda sticks with the prior generation for her fairway woods, playing a Stealth 2 for both her 3-wood and 7-wood. Her 3-wood in particular came up huge when Korda needed it. Despite entering the final round with a four-stroke lead, Korda struggled on Sunday, as she was 5 over on her round through 16 and trailing Lydia Ko. Needing to go 3-under over her final two holes, Korda would set herself up for an eagle try on 17 after blistering a 3-wood onto the 17th green. She would make that eagle putt and keep her hopes of winning alive.
Hybrid: PING G425
Korda's hybrid is one of three clubs in her bag that aren't TaylorMade, as she games a PING G425 hybrid, and plays it at 26 degrees. The G425 hybrid offers high launch, low spin and plenty of forgivness, giving players a perfect club to bridge the gap between their fairway woods and irons.
Irons: TaylorMade P-770 (5), TaylorMade P-7MC (6-PW)
Korda combos a TaylorMade P770 5-iron with some TaylorMade P7MC's. Her irons were dialed in all week, as she found the green in regulation on 62 of the 72 holes. Her iron play was never better than it was on the 72nd hole. After eagling 17 to pull herself within 1-stroke of Lydia Ko's lead, Korda would hit a 9-iron into the 18th green, and rolled it to within a foot of the pin, to secure the birdie and force the playoff.
Wedges: TaylorMade Milled Grind 4 (50, 54 Degrees), Vokey Design WedgeWorks (58 Degrees)
For her wedge game, Korda uses the TaylorMade Milled Grind 4 for both her 50 and 54 degree wedges, while using a Vokey WedgeWorks for her 58 degree. The MG4's were designed to help golfers increase spin and control around the greens and on approach shots. The WedgeWorks 58 degree is with a T-Grind and provides versatility around the green. These wedges played a part in her finding more than 86 percent of the greens in regulation, which kept at or near the top of the leaderboard throughout the tournament.
Putter: Logan Olson Prototype
For her flatstick, Korda rolls a Logan Olson Prototype. Logan Olson putters made some noise when Men's World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler unveiled it at the Ryder Cup this past fall, and found their way into another prominent golfer's bag in Korda. The new flatstick seems to be working, as Korda's putting was consistent all tournament long. She averaged 31 putts per round, and that in combination with her 62 greens in regulation, gave her plenty of birdies and birdie chances en route to victory.
