Stop me if you've heard this before: Nelly Korda won a golf tournament. You've actually heard it six times since January.
Runs like this don’t happen often. Players like Nelly don’t come often. Simply put, it's Nelly's world and we're all just living in it.

WHY NELLY PLAYS QI10 MAX DRIVER
WHY NELLY PLAYS TP5X GOLF BALL
“Nelly was looking to bring the spin down, especially on her driver, so we did some testing in September. We saw the benefits of TP5x in her driver and irons bringing the spin down a couple hundred RPMs. Then, around the greens, her launch on chips was a little bit lower and she generated more spin around the greens with TP5x than TP5. She produced a lot more check in a preferred trajectory coming off of the TP5x versus the TP5. She’s been happy with the ball ever since.”RYAN RESSA, TAYLORMADE SENIOR TOUR MANAGER
WHY NELLY PLAYS P·770 P·7MC COMBO SET
Korda has played a P·770 and P·7MC combo set since joining Team TaylorMade at the beginning of the 2023 season going with a P·770 5-iron and P·7MC in 6-PW. Korda chose P·770 because of the height and spin it produces and P·7MC for more workability.
In initial testing with her long irons (5-6), Nelly aimed to add height to hold greens from distances of 180-200 yards. Her P·770 5-iron seamlessly answered this requirement, providing an additional 15-feet in height and delivering perfect carry distances. The pairing with P·7MC irons delivered Nelly tighter dispersion and precise distance control. For the tournament, Korda hit 79% of greens in regulation.
A crucial change to Korda’s irons came at the 2023 LPGA Drive On Championship in Phoenix when our TaylorMade tour reps hard stepped Korda’s irons to minimize the draw and stiffen them slightly. Since the change, Nelly has won six times worldwide.
