Lydia Ko plays with zero equipment contracts, choosing every club in her bag purely on how it performs. Days after slotting in a new Scotty Cameron putter in 2026, she carded a career-low 12-under 60, and came within a shot of golf's rarest number, a 59. Her bag is proof that being unsponsored has its perks.
Driver: Ping G440 K, 7.5°
Ko carries the brand-new Ping G440 K at a striking 7.5° loft, built with a Mitsubishi Diamana WB 43 S shaft. The low loft is unusual for the women's game, but suits her low, penetrating ball flight off the tee. She switched into this driver in early 2026, moving on from the older Ping G430 10K she'd used for years. In her own words, the change was emotional. She'd grown genuinely attached to her old driver, but the numbers and shot shapes with the new head won out.
Fairway Woods: Ping G440 Max, 15° and 19°
Ko carries two Ping G440 Max fairway woods, a 15° 3-wood and a 19° 5-wood, both on matching Mitsubishi Diamana WB 53 S shafts. Consistent shafts across her fairway woods keep the feel uniform as she moves through her longer clubs.
Irons: Titleist T100, 5-iron to 9-iron
After years in a blended Ping i230/i240 combo, then a Proto Concept set under a prior sponsorship deal, Ko has moved into Titleist T100 irons from 5 through 9, built on Nippon N.S. Pro Modus 3 Tour 120 X shafts. The T100 is one of the most-played players irons across both the men's and women's professional games, valued for shot-shaping control.
Wedges: Vokey SM11 and WedgeWorks
Ko's short game runs through Titleist Vokey. She carries the SM11 at 46°, 50°, and 56°, plus a WedgeWorks model at 60°. The shorter wedges match her iron shaft, while the two highest-lofted wedges step up to a heavier Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 for more control on delicate shots.
Putter: Scotty Cameron Phantom 12 Tour Prototype
This is the newest addition to Ko's bag, and the one already making headlines. She put the Phantom 12 Tour Prototype in play in 2026, and within days carded a career-low round of 60 at the Ford Championship, missing a 59 by a single shot. It replaced a Phantom 11R she'd used previously.
Golf Ball: Titleist Pro V1x
Ko plays the Titleist Pro V1x, one of the few pieces of her setup tied to an actual sponsorship, alongside a Titleist ball and glove relationship that survived her broader move to free-agent status.
Footwear: Ecco W Golf Biom G5
Off the tee and on it, Ko wears the Ecco W Golf Biom G5, a shoe she helped co-design as a brand ambassador. The shoe incorporates South Korean hibiscus and New Zealand silver fern detailing, a nod to her dual heritage, born in Seoul and raised in New Zealand from age four.
