As a TaylorMade-sponsored golfer, it’s no surprise that Nelly Korda’s bag is packed with the brand’s latest innovations. Her go-to driver is the TaylorMade Qi10 Max, boasting a 10-degree loft and a price tag of $599.99. This powerhouse is built for forgiveness and stability, and it’s clear that Korda’s made the most of it. The results speak for themselves: this driver is a game-changer. After switching from the TaylorMade Stealth 2 HD driver earlier this season, she went berserk, winning five straight tournaments.
But the 26-year-old’s arsenal doesn’t stop there. To land her shots on the fairways with ease, the 26-year-old carries a 3-wood and a 7-wood. Both courtesy of TaylorMade’s Stealth 2 line, the club is dubbed a “cheat code” by the company. It boasts a 3D carbon crown and precise center of gravity for higher launches, maximizing speed across the face and enhancing durability.
Each club is priced at $249.99, with the option for four interest-free payments of $62.49 when purchased from the official website. The 14x LPGA Tour champ pairs her 3-wood with a Fujikura Ventus Red 7 S shaft and her 5-wood with a Fujikura Ventus Black 7 S, fine-tuning her arsenal for optimal performance.
Moving on to her iron choice, Nelly Korda trusts TaylorMade P7MC Irons. Her iron choice starts from 5-iron to the putting wedge. However, to enhance the workability and precision, which P∙7MC Irons is full of, the golfer pairs it with the AeroTech SteelFiber i80 CW shaft. These irons are priced at $1,299.99.
What else does she have in her bag that makes her the force to be reckoned with on the greens?

What wedges and putters does Korda use?
When it comes to wedges, Korda relies on two TaylorMade Milled Grind 4 wedges. The clubs come with 50-degree and 54-degree lofts, paired with Aerotech Steelfiber i95cw shafts. These wedges boast laser-etched spin treads for an improved bite around the greens and superior spin in adverse conditions. Additionally, with a price tag of $179.99, these wedges are a crucial part of Korda’s arsenal as they allow her to navigate challenging course conditions with precision.
After experimenting with the Logan Olson prototype earlier this year, the 26-year-old switched back to her reliable Scotty Cameron Squareback 2 putter. The Squareback 2 putter helps to incline her on the green putts directly into the hole. Meanwhile, her putter has a wide body and mid-mallet and stainless steel heel-toe weights optimized for a perfectly balanced feel.

With her arsenal now complete, Nelly Korda is ready to take on the best golfers in the world at the Paris Olympics, armed with the latest innovations and her proven winning formula. Let’s see what the future holds for the top talent.
