By the age of 22, Jin Young Ko had already won 10 times on the LPGA of Korea Tour, finished second at the 2015 Ricoh Women’s British Open, and claimed the 2017 LPGA KEB Hana Bank Championship. Her LPGA debut in 2018 was nothing short of spectacular, winning the ISPS Handa Women’s Australian Open and finishing the year as Rookie of the Year. By 2019, she had two major championships under her belt and was named LPGA Player of the Year. Despite the pandemic, Ko’s dominance continued, securing the No. 1 world ranking in 2020 and repeating as Player of the Year in 2021.

With such an impressive career, it’s clear that Ko’s success isn’t just about her skill—it’s also about the equipment she trusts. Let’s dive into what’s in the bag of this LPGA superstar and discover the gear that helps her stay on top of her game. The 29 YO entered the 2025 season ranked eleventh on the Rolex Standings, and there is no doubt that this season too is going to be great. But the question is, what equipment does she use to keep up with her game?

The South Korean Professional’s average drive distance is 257.75 yards, ranking her 12th. She has been using the Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond Driver to achieve this feat, after switching from her Titleist driver. These are the best for giving workability off the tee. Priced at $599.99, they are currently available for $499.99, due to a sale on the official website.

For the Fairway Woods, she opts for the Callaway Epic Flash Sub Zero Driver. These are usually priced between $167.99 to $415.99, but due to the sale, are available at $125.99 to $311.99. These help in covering mode distances off the tee. She also uses the Titleist TSi2 Hybrid, which is no longer available on the website. However, they are known to be one of the most versatile clubs in the world of golf.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Jin Young Ko's success more about her skill or the top-notch equipment she uses?

Have an interesting take?

Jin Young Ko hits 79.17% of greens in regulation, ranking 8th on the list. She could make this record using the Ping Glide Forged Pro (50°, 52°, 56°) wedges. These are priced between $170 to $190 per wedge. In consultation with PING pros, the Glide Forged Pro was custom-engineered with a more compact, forged 8620 carbon steel head and precision-machined grooves for predictable, consistent results. A new face blast was added to increase friction, enhancing spin and control across an expanded range of lofts and sole grinds designed to fit any player’s game.

Finally, to hit the ball off the lip of the holes, Ko uses the Scotty Phantom X 5.5 putter. These typically cost around $399. This has helped her in ranking third on the average putts per GIR, with a stat of 1.68. It surely seems to be working out the best for her. She completes her kit with the Titleist Pro V1 ball.
