What’s in Lydia Ko’s bag?
The New Zealander has started 2024 well, with a victory in the season opener along with a string of solid results!
Lydia Ko had been a PXG staffer since 2017, but they parted ways in early 2022 when her original five-year deal ended.
Originally Lydia kept most of her PXG golf clubs in play, but her bag has become much more eclectic since then. Let’s take a closer look at the New Zealander’s bag…
What’s in Lydia Ko’s bag?
The first club Lydia switched when her PXG deal ended was her driver. She followed in the footsteps of numerous LPGA tour stars by opting to put a Titleist model in play. Since then, she has made another switch and put the Ping G430 LST driver in the bag.
She has followed suit with her fairway woods option, which includes two Ping G430 fairway woods and a Ping G430 22-degree hybrid.
Ko has also swapped to a completely new set of irons. She has two models of Proto Concept irons in play. The C07 in her 6-iron and C05 from 7 to 9-iron. Lydia put these irons in play back in January and won the Gainbridge LPGA the following week.
She has also, rather interestingly, added a Titleist T200 5-iron to her set-up with some lead tape on the back of the club head. If you are wondering about the colourful grips, they are Iomic Sticky 1.8 golf grips in numerous funky colours.
She carries four brand new Titleist Vokey SM10 wedges and opts for a 46° instead of a traditional pitching wedge.
Ko rounds out her bag with a centre-shafted Scotty Cameron GSS putter and the Pro V1x golf ball.
Lydia’s last piece of equipment? Her brand new Ecco Biom G5 LK golf shoe. Lydia helped co-design the shoes with Ecco. If you look closely, you can see the Hibiscus flower and Fern detailing. These pay homage to Lydia Ko’s country of birth, South Korea, and the country where she grew up, New Zealand, respectively.
