Nelly Korda has been in incredible form over the last few seasons. The younger Korda sister won her fourth and fifth LPGA titles before finally getting over the line for a maiden major championship victory at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
Since then, she has racked up two more victories taking her LPGA trophy count to eight. She is currently Number 2 in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings.
It is all change in her golf bag ahead of the 2023 season as she has announced a multi-year sponsorship deal with TaylorMade. So which of their golf clubs has she put in play?
What’s in Nelly Korda’s bag?
Nelly starts her bag with the TaylorMade Stealth 2 HD driver. Interestingly this is the highest-launching most draw-bias model in TaylorMade’s line-up. This is more commonly viewed as a club for higher handicaps, but Nelly loved how it sits behind the golf ball and how it helps her hit a draw which is her preferred shot shape.
Korda swaps into the Stealth 2 model in her fairway woods, carrying a 3-wood and then a 7-wood.
Nelly has a mixed set of irons. She carries TaylorMade P770’s in her long irons as they give her more height to hold greens with longer shots. In the shorter irons, the P7MC’s gave her the control she was looking for.
She carries TaylorMade Milled Grind 3 wedges and uses a TaylorMade TP5 golf ball.
Nelly is yet to switch in the putter department but given she is a relatively new signing, I am sure we will see a new flat stick in play in the future.

In 2022 Nelly was one of the only tour players to opt to use the Titleist TSi1 driver, typically marketed at those with slower club head speeds. She currently ranks 36th in driving distance on the LPGA Tour with an average drive of 268.636 yards.
After this she carries two higher lofted fairway woods, her 3-wood has 16.5 degrees and her 7-wood has 221 degrees of loft. It is quite common for LPGA players to have woods with more loft as the extra height helps them stop the ball on firm and fast greens.
Her Ping 5 hybrid is the only non Titleist club in her bag. She carries this as well as a 5-iron, presumably because the 5 hybrid carries the equivalent distance of a 4 iron.
Nelly has the latest Titleist T100 series irons in her bag from 5-iron down to pitching wedge and then carries three Titleist Vokey SM8 wedges. She rounds out her bag with a Scotty Cameron Special Select Squareback 2 putter and the Titleist Pro V1 golf ball.
