What’s In The Bag: Nelly Korda
Published: Last updated:
What golf clubs does Nelly Korda use? We take a look at what’s in the bag of the two-time Major winner, Olympic champion, and women’s World No.1.
In her eight years on the LPGA Tour, Nelly Korda has 60 career top-10 finishes and is now a thirteen-time winner on the LPGA Tour including the 2021 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship and her most recent victory at the 2024 Chevron Championship which made her a two-time Major Champion.
The World No.1’s win at the first Major of the 2024 LPGA Tour season, was her fifth-straight victory on the LPGA Tour, becoming the first person to win five consecutive starts since Annika Sorenstam in 2004-2005. Korda joins the Swede superstar and Nacy Lopez (1978) as the only players on the LPGA Tour to win five consecutive competitions.
The American became a major champion back in 2021 winning the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at the Atlanta Athletic Club, where Korda won by three strokes over Lizette Salas after shooting 68 in the final round.
Korda won golf’s Olympic gold at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 becoming only the second woman in history to reach this feat as she edged her way to a one-shot victory over Mone Inami and Lydia Ko who claimed Silver and Bronze.
Nelly has the edge over older sister Jessica Korda, who has six LPGA titles and is still searching for her first major. Both sisters played together in the 2019 and 2021 Solheim Cup teams.
Nelly Korda has signed a multi-year deal with TaylorMade to play a full bag of their equipment, including their TP5x ball. She’s continuing to test TaylorMade’s equipment to get the perfect bag, but the World No.1 obviously feels more comfortable with a Scotty Cameron putter that’s made its way into her bag.
“I signed with TaylorMade because of their proven ability to elevate the game of the best golfers in the world,” Korda said. “It is clear that they share my passion for working as hard as possible to be in the best position to win. I’m thrilled to be a part of Team TaylorMade.”
Korda joined TaylorMade just a few days after signing a deal with Nike Golf to wear the brand’s apparel and shoes.
Let’s take an in-depth look at Nelly Korda’s golf bag for 2024.
What’s In The Bag: Nelly Korda
What driver does Nelly Korda use?
Nelly Korda uses a TaylorMade Qi10 Max Driver (10°) with a Mitsubishi GT 60 S Shaft
About a month after the initial visit, the tour team went back to test more in depth with Nelly and dialed in her Mitsubishi GT 60 S shaft. The team made a tipping adjustment to her shaft that allowed Nelly to turn it over a little bit easier and have the control she was looking for. They also adjusted the backweight on her Max head to be lighter to bring the spin down and promote the draw even more. All in all, it took two to three iterations of the original head they tested in June to find the perfect build for Nelly.
“As we look to create new shapes in our driver heads, we found something with the shape of the Qi10 Max that was a little deeper front to back and a slightly more heel ward center of gravity. She instantly set that club down and loved the way it looked. Nelly was able to start the ball on her intended line and loved seeing the ball fall left and be able to move it how she wanted in addition to hitting different flights and windows. She also notices on mis-hits that the spin stays really consistent. The window it takes off on is great and the shot shape is very repeatable for her." Ryan Ressa, TaylorMade Senior Tour Manager
What fairway wood does Nelly Korda use?
Nelly Korda uses a TaylorMade Stealth 2 fairway wood (15° and 21°)
Best for high launching
TaylorMade like to refer to them as their cheat code, so long as you don’t find launching modern fairways from the deck a challenge, they’ll be one of the longest and most forgiving fairway woods available in 2023.
Thanks to lowering the center of gravity inside the Stealth 2 head, the high CT area is more aligned with where golfers impact shots when hitting from the turf. The idea is simple but it means shots are easier to flight, with additional speed. TaylorMade have achieved it by reducing face and crown height by 2mm and positioning sizeable internal mass towards the rear of the head.

What irons does Nelly Korda use?
Nelly Korda uses TaylorMade P770 irons (5) and TaylorMade P7MC irons (6-PW)
In our test, the TaylorMade P770 produced a ball speed 0.8 mph faster than the same loft P7MC. Shots launched higher and the ball hit the green at a steeper angle, whilst also adding 3 yards of additional carry distance.
