What’s In The Bag: Nelly Korda
Published:
What golf clubs does Nelly Korda use? We take a look at what’s in the bag of the Major winner, Olympic champion and former women’s World No.1.
In her six years on the LPGA Tour, Korda has 46 career top-10 finishes, eight of which came in 2022 and she is now an eight-time winner on the LPGA Tour with her most recent victory coming at the 2022 Pelican Women’s Championship.
She 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 feet 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.
For 2023, Korda has signed a multi-year deal with TaylorMade to play a full bag of their equipment, including their TP5 ball. She’s continuing to test TaylorMade’s equipment to get the perfect bag but, in the meantime, will continue to game her Scotty Cameron Special Select Squareback 2 Tour Prototype.
“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 2023.
What driver does Nelly Korda use?
Nelly Korda uses a TaylorMade Stealth 2 HD Driver (9°)
Description
This second-generation model launches 1° higher and reduces spin by 200-300 RPM, meaning you can expect a fraction more distance along with additional forgiveness. Thanks to a shorter neck, the shaft length of the HD comes up ¼ inch shorter than the other models in the Stealth family. This shorter lever has been crafted to inspire confidence and encourage more sweet-spot contacts.

Pros
- Increased sweet spot size
- Excellent distance and forgiveness performance
- Great looking, confidence-inspiring
Cons
- Very slow swing speeds might prefer a longer shaft
| Lofts | 9°, 10.5°, 12° |
| Stock shafts | Fujikura Speeder NX Red |
| Adjustable hosel | +/- 2° |
| Stock grips | Golf Pride Z-Grip Plus2 Black/Red |
What fairway wood does Nelly Korda use?
Nelly Korda uses a TaylorMade Stealth 2 fairway wood (15° and 21°)
Best for high launching
www.golfgalaxy.com
Description
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.

Cons
