As the CME Group Tour Championship has teed off, there will be many professional golfers in action, performing their best to end the season on a high. Lydia Ko, world no. 4, will also be in action to win her 4th title of the year. Till now she has won three titles which also includes the 2024 Paris Olympics.

In 2022, she won the CME Group Tour Championship, now with an exceptional year. She will be aiming to secure another win at the CME. The victories and significant performances of the golfer have been in the news for a while now, but there is something unique that helps her with the performance and wins. Let’s find out what she carries in her bag on the course:

What does Lydia Ko carry in her bag?

Ko in her career has won 30 titles, out of which 21 are on the LPGA Tour. These unique stats showcase the impressive performance of the golfer and how well she performs throughout the course. With an average drive distance of 254.93 yards and a driving accuracy of more than 70%. She is conquering the course from the tee shot itself.

For her tee shot, she uses the Ping G430 LST, which has a loft of 10.5 degrees. Earlier she was under contract with PXG, during which she used the TSi3 and TSR3. The change in the driver has allowed her to maintain accuracy as well as control off the tee. With the Mitsubishi Diamana GT 50S shaft, the golfer gets consistent long drives with a smooth performance.

After the tee shot, Ko prefers the Ping G430 Max 15 and 18-degree fairway woods. The woods offer great power generation with versatility, enhancing the ease of long approach shots in the tight fairways. Even for a better experience, she uses the Mitsubishi Diamana GT 60S shaft for improved balance of flexibility and stability. Along with that, she uses Hybrid Ping G430 22-degree and irons Ping i230 (5-7) & Ping Blueprint S (8-9). The combination of these irons and hybrid clubs helps her with great accuracy and control in the shots.

Lydia Ko’s preference for the greens

The selection of her clubs helps her clear the maximum course with the driver, fairway woods, hybrids, and irons. However, for the final shots, she prefers different brands for wedges and putters. Even her stats at the greens define why she prefers different clubs. As per the stats of LPGA, she putts 29.18 per round, while her greens in regulation percentage is 70.15.

She has been impressive with her game throughout and so has her equipment. As her wedge, she uses the Titleist Vokey Design SM9 with 46°, 49°, 54°, and 59° loft. These wedges are great with spin control and offer confidence to the player with a variety of shot options. Combined with the AeroTech SteelFiber fc80 shaft, Ko gets the ideal combination for the short-game scenario.

For the final shot, she uses a Scotty Cameron TG6 putter. The conversion of the entire game depends on the putter. With TG6, she ensures precision and stability to maintain confidence even in the toughest situations. To make it all suit the game, she uses the Titleist Pro V1x ball which the majority of the professionals prefer. It offers a great launch with low spin and control.

To get the best performance throughout the season, she combines a great combination of clubs at the course. Now that she will be targeting her second CME Group Tour Championship win, it will be interesting to see how she performs at the last event of the season.
