What does the former world number 1, and now free agent, choose to put in her bag? Equipment Editor Paul Miller takes a closer look…

Dame Lydia Ko is a renowned New Zealand professional golfer and a member of the LPGA Hall of Fame, recently winning gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

She became the youngest player to reach number one in the Women’s World Golf Rankings at 17 years, 9 months, and 9 days old in 2015.

Ko has broken numerous records, including being the youngest to win an LPGA event at age 15 and the youngest to win two majors, with her victory at the 2015 Evian Championship.

She has received several accolades, such as being named in Time magazine’s 100 most influential people and being appointed a Dame Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in 2025.

With her Olympic medals and multiple LPGA titles, Ko has achieved a historic level of success in women’s golf.

Heading into 2026 she has no club contract and so makes it all the more interesting to see what club choices she makes. Let’s take a closer look at the Lydia Ko WITB 2026…..

What’s in Lydia Ko’s bag?

Ko uses Ping clubs at the top of her bag and opts for Titleist irons, wedges and a Scotty Cameron putter. She previously used a blended set of Ping i230 and i240 irons but currently has Titleist irons in the bag.

She is contracted to play with Titleist golf balls and wears a FootJoy glove.
