Lydia Ko What's In The Bag? - Former world number one

Lydia Ko What’s In The Bag?

Despite only being in her mid-20’s, Lydia Ko seems to have been around for a long time now which is no surprise given how she shot to superstardom in her teens. She won a number of tournaments and broke several records, chief among which she became the youngest golfer ever to be ranked number one in the world. She achieved this when she was just 17 years old. To add to that, she has also won 2 Major titles and more than 10 other LPGA events. Let’s take a look at her equipment setup below.

Ko has an equipment contract with PXG and currently has many clubs from the brand in the setup but there are a few non-PXG clubs as well. For example her driver is a Titleist TSi3 (opens in new tab) which has a Mitsubishi shaft and nine degrees of loft.

Fairways

She then transitions down into a couple of PXG 0341 X GEN2 fairway woods which are slightly older models but as we have seen with many professional golfers, when they find a fairway wood they like and trust, it usually takes quite a long time for that player to change. Ko is another example of that. 

Hybrids

PXG 0317 X GEN2

She then carries a couple of PXG 0317 X GEN2 hybrids. We believe they have 19 and 22 degrees of loft and both are fitted with Graphite Design Tour AD IZ 65 R1 shafts.

Irons

Moving to the irons she has a new set at the moment moving away from the PXG set she had in the bag for a while. During testing she narrowed her choice down to Mizuno, Srixon, and a Japanese brand called Proto Concept. The latter won when, despite the Proto irons being a few yards shorter than her PXG’s, dispersion and carry yardages were consistently tighter in the mid and short irons.
