Nelly Korda made 1 shift before her 7th LPGA victory

During a season in which she’s won six times already, you’d think world No. 1 Nelly Korda would have been reluctant to move on from whatever was working.

But golfers, as we know, are a fickle bunch. Korda is no exception: her seventh win of the yearr last week at The Annika it was her first with a young pitcher.

While Korda became just the third player in LPGA history to win five consecutive starts earlier this season, including a major at the Chevron Championship, she fell into a funk over the summer, missing three straight cuts, including the US Women’s Open and the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.

She finished just outside the top 20 in her next two starts, but before the AIG Women’s Open, she asked representatives at TaylorMade to send her several different Spider models to test. Korda eventually asked the TaylorMade team to build her a new Spider Tour X with an L neck and a short sight line and send it to St. Louis. Andrews just before the practice rounds.

That’s been Korda’s stick ever since, like she finished tied for second in St. Andrews after putting on her Scotty Cameron Squareback 2 bench, the same model she used to win both of her major titles. She then went 3-1-0 at the Solheim Cup and scored another top-5 at the Kroger Queen City Championship. But those were the only three events Korda used the new stick for, after losing almost two months with a neck injury.

This week at Pelikan, as she became the first American to win seven or more times in a season on the LPGA since 1990, the Spider Tour X was the only equipment she changed from her last win in New Jersey in May.

While Korda’s short version is a tour-only offering (but still available through TaylorMade’s MySpider program), of The TaylorMade Spider Tour X L-Neck is available now at Fairway Jockey.

Korda’s putter features the same technology as the retail offering, such as the True Path alignment system, which is designed to help you visualize the line to the hole. The Spider Tour X also features TaylorMade’s TPU Pure Roll insert, which has been a staple in their barrel designs for years. The retail version is white, while the Korda version is dark.

And as if Korda needed another comparison to Scottie Scheffler’s incredible PGA Tour season (he’s won seven times, too, in case you forgot), her new club is The exact same head and neck combination as the men’s world number 1 went through before his fiery run.
