Professionals aren’t afraid to make changes to their golf bag, with even Major winners willing to try something different to get the most out of their golf game.
For 2025, Nelly Korda has seen her scoring average remain similar to that of 2024; however, the big difference has been the lack of wins, with the American not claiming a title, yet, this season.

It’s somewhat of a surprise for Korda, who secured seven LPGA Tour victories last year, including a record-equaling five titles in a row.
That lack of wins has forced Korda to change a section of her golf bag, specifically the putter, with the two-time Major winner using a TaylorMade blade putter at the CPKC Women’s Open and keeping it in the bag for this week’s FM Championship.

Speaking after her first round at the FM Championship, a five-under 67 that included 29 putts, Korda stated: “(It’s) Just something else that I’ve been feeling. Just something new.
“I had so much success with that (putter) head and I hit a couple before Toronto. Golf courses right now in Florida aren’t the best. Like the golf courses that I’m at just opened after being closed for a month. So there was a lot of sand on them.
“(I) Wasn’t really sure how I really liked the putter, but I just went with it. I knew I had so much success with that kind of putter and felt confident with (TaylorMade);…
