Nelly Korda WITB (what’s in the bag) is accurate as of November 2023, The Annika driven by Gainbridge at the Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, FL. I had the privilege this week to chat with Nelly Korda’s caddie, Jason McDede, who has been with her for about 7 years.
While Senior Golf Source usually writes WITB articles for senior golfers, Nelly Korda is a most-loved local golf celebrity from Bradenton, Florida. I spent the day on the course watching Annika Sorenstam and Nelly Korda playing in the ProAm event. Afterward, I got a peek inside the LPGA Major Championship winner’s golf bag.

Nelly Korda WITB – Driver
Driver 9° Loft
Nelly Korda is currently using the Titleist TSR1 Driver in her bag. It’s known for its ultra-lightweight clubhead that executes perfectly for her on speed and distance. The light feel makes it swing easy and helps with accuracy of shots. From watching Nelly on the course this driver has an incredible sound too.
If your an equipment nerd like me, you’ll appreciate the multip-plateau VFT design that builds the face inward layer upon layer that creates constant CT for maximum forgiveness. Plus, the deep center of gravity (CG) promotes that higher launch with faster ball speed.
Nelly Korda uses a 9-degree loft, but the driver can be purchased in a 9, 10, or 12-degree loft, which would be more suited to senior golfers. It also comes standard with a Golf Pride Tour Velvet 360 golf grip and either regular or A flex shafts.
PROS
- Ultra lightweight driver
- Excels at speed and distance for golfers under 90 mph
- Premium finish and sound
CONS
- Expensive

Nelly Korda Fairway Wood
3 Wood & 7 Wood
Nelly Korda’s bag features a meticulously selected set of woods, including a 15-degree 3 wood and a 21-degree 7 wood. The latter finds favor with her, especially for its ability to offer greater elevation en route to the green, an attribute that can be a game-changer on the course.
The Stealth 2 fairway woods, which she employs, are engineered with a carbon DNA framework, enhancing the MOI for superior performance and precision. This advanced multi-material construction is complemented by a range of shaft flexes—senior, regular, stiff, and extra-stiff—to cater to diverse swing profiles.
In the latest iteration, the Stealth 2 Fairway, TaylorMade has refined the center of gravity (CG) to an even lower position than its predecessor, enhancing the club’s forgiveness and stability. The reimagined 3D carbon crown shifts the mass from the high toe region, allocating space for a substantial internal weight at the club’s rear, fostering an optimal launch.

Nelly Korda Hybrid
5 Hybrid
Next, in Nelly Korda’s bag is the Ping G425 Hybrid with a Fujikura Ventus Blue HB 7 S shaft. This is also one of my long-time favorites since it’s also in my golf bag.
The G425 hybrid line, benefits from Ping’s innovative Facewrap Technology and Spinsistency. These features enhance distance, launch, and spin reliability, critical factors for professional play.
Enhancements in the Ping G425 series don’t stop at ball speed and spin.

Additionally, a new alignment aid on the crown ensures golfers can address the ball confidently, suited to their visual preferences.

Nelly Korda Irons
5 Iron – PW
Nelly Korda, daughter of Petr Korda (1998 Tennis Austrian Open winner), hones her skills at the Concession Golf Club in Bradenton, FL.
Korda carries the TaylorMade P•7MC irons in her bag—a set as striking in performance as it is in appearance.
She opts for the stiff flex of AeroTech SteelFiber i95 CW shafts across her irons, from the 5 iron to the pitching wedge, which are all equipped with the standard Golf Pride Z-Grip 360 for optimal feel and control.
These irons are not just about good looks; they offer a tour-inspired design with a thin topline and just enough offset to appeal to players of Korda’s caliber. Precision-machined faces and grooves round out the P•7MC’s, ensuring exacting shot-making that elite players demand.
PROS
- Highly rated by purchasers
- Thin top line
- Great for shaping shots

Nelly Korda Wedges
50° & 54° Wedges
At the foundation of Nelly Korda’s wedge setup are her TaylorMade Milled Grind 3 wedges, one at 50 degrees and the other at 54 degrees. These wedges, chosen with an Aerotech SteelFiber i95cw stiff shaft, are engineered for precision and control. The Milled Grind 3 design incorporates a raw face, which is instrumental in providing enhanced spin and a more aggressive bite around the greens.
TaylorMade’s innovative Spin Tread technology plays a crucial role in Korda’s short game. Laser-etched into the face of these wedges, Spin Tread helps manage and channel away moisture, much like treads on a tire dispel water to maintain contact with the road. This technology ensures that Korda can maintain her deft touch and generate consistent spin, even in wet conditions.
PROS
- Highly rated by reviewers
- Forgiving
- Maximize spin
CONS
- Known to rust
