lpga tour golf clubs

Golf clubs of the top 50 LPGA pros (WITB)

Women’s golf is becoming increasingly popular and is catching up to men’s golf rapidly. This study on the increasing purse sizes of LPGA major tournaments confirms this fact. The purse of the Women’s PGA Championship has nearly doubled since 2013. You can read more about it here.

At this moment, the number of female golfers in the world is probably the highest in recorded history, and this number is rising year by year. Each year, thousands of young girls grab their first golf clubs and embark on their golfing journeys. These budding lady golfers often wonder which clubs their role models use to win the most prestigious tournaments.

Driven by this fact, our team at Golf Reporter looked into the golf bags of the top 50 LPGA professionals. We found some shocking statistics that might surprise many of you. In this article, we’ll talk about the golf clubs used by the top 50 LPGA pros, including the driver, fairway woods, hybrids, irons, wedges and putters.

However, it is worth noting that this data is for 44 out of the top 50 LPGA pros. The information for the remaining 6 golfers was either wholly or partially unavailable. These are Pajaree Anannarukarn, Yealimi Noh, Wei-Ling Hsu, Shanshan Feng, Su Oh, and Lauren Stephenson. That is why we have left those 6 out of this study.

We have compiled all the data into a table for your convenience. Here it is.

Analysis and Findings

After collecting the data and codifying it into a table, we began looking for patterns, and we found some quite interesting ones. We have classified them into respective club categories.

The driver and the putter are the only two clubs guaranteed to be in every golf bag. Or so we thought. Oddly, one LPGA pro does not use the driver, and she’s quite a prominent figure.

We’re talking about world number 5, Ariya Jutanugarn of Thailand. She does not have a driver in her bag. Instead, she uses her 3-wood or her utility iron in the tee box.

Apparently, Ping drivers are all the rage among LPGA pros as 10 of them opt for them, with Ping G425 being the most popular. Patty Tavatanakit (world number 3) is the highest-ranking LPGA pro who uses Ping drivers. Not far behind is TaylorMade, with 8 users, including Moriya Jutanugarn (world number 11), who uses the M2 driver.

Callaway, PXG, and Titleist are the next ones in line, with 7, 6, and 5 users, respectively. The world number one, Nelly Korda, uses the Titleist TSi1 driver with Graphite Design Tour AD IZ 6S shaft.

Most of these LPGA golfers have different loft settings, but 15 of them prefer to go with the 9 degrees option. Furthermore, 10 players have chosen Fujikura shafts as their preferred option, while 9 others prefer Graphite Design or Mitsubishi shafts.

Fairway Woods

The configuration of fairway woods varies from person to person. Some prefer to use only a single club, while others prefer two or even three. Usually, 3-wood is the widely used choice of most golfers, and this list conforms to this fact. Everyone in this list uses a 3-wood, except one.

Nanna Koerstz Madsen is the only pro in the top 50 who doesn’t use the 3 wood. Interestingly, she’s also the only one who uses the 4-wood.

17 of these golfers also use a 5-wood along with their 3-wood. However, only four LPGA pros still use the extremely rare 7-wood, including the world number one, Nelly Korda. Her sister Jessica Korda, Leona Maguire, and Lizette Salas are the other three who use the 7-wood.

Here, Callaway has managed to get the better of its rivals by securing the trust of 11 golfers. Callaway is followed by Ping and TaylorMade, with 9 and 7 players, respectively. PXG, Titleist, and Srixon come next, with 6, 5, and 4 users, respectively.

34 LPGA pros from the top 50 keep hybrid golf clubs in their bags, which clearly suggests their widespread popularity among women golfers. This number is significantly higher than their male counterparts. You can read more about this here. In addition, nearly half (16) of these hybrids using women golfers prefer to play with a 19-degree loft.

In hybrid clubs, Ping is back on top with 9 players choosing their products. PXG is the 2nd most popular brand with 6 users. Other giants, including TaylorMade and Titleist, have only four users each. This might suggest that these brands have apparently not won the trust of women golfers when it comes to hybrids. Callaway is even farther behind with merely 3 users.

Similar to fairway woods, the configuration of irons varies from golfer to golfer. However, we found an arrangement that has repeated itself several times, 16 to be exact. The majority of LPGA pros favor a 5-iron to pitching wedge assortment. While only four golfers avoid the 5-iron and have 6-iron to pitching wedge iron sets. In addition, Nippon has established itself as the most preferred choice for iron shafts as 10 LPGA pros choose their products.

Here too, Ping has emerged as the most trusted choice with 10 players. Srixon makes a surprise appearance with 6 users along with Titleist and PXG. They are followed by TaylorMade and Callaway, each of whom is used by 5 players.

Titleist makes a dramatic recovery in the wedges section. Titleist Vokey wedges have cemented themselves as one of the most reliable wedges for LPGA pros with 16 users. World number one, Nelly Korda, along with 8 others, uses their latest SM8 version.

Ping and PXG are the next most popular brands with 9 and 8 users, respectively. Cleveland Golf makes a dramatic appearance with 4 users, with Minjee Lee (world number 10) as the highest-ranking golfer who uses them.

Callaway and TaylorMade also fail to make a mark with only a handful of users. 4 players use Callaway wedges while only 2 choose TaylorMade wedges.

Callaway makes a strong comeback in the putters category, thanks to their state-of-the-art Odyssey putters. 12 golfers play with Odyssey putters, with Ariya Jutanugarn (world number 5) and Inbee Park (world number 6) as the highest-ranking golfers.

Titleist’s Scotty Cameron putters are not far behind with 10 users. Current world number one, Nelly Korda and her sister Jessica (world number 7), both use Scotty Cameron putters. Besides these two sisters, three others from the top 10 (total 5) are regular Scotty Cameron putter users.

Ping comes in at the third spot with 9 users. Leona Maguire (world number 8) is the highest-ranking golfer to use Ping putters. Other brands like TaylorMade and PXG are at 4th and 5th positions, respectively, with 5 and 4 players.

Bettinardi Golf makes its first appearance with two users, Patty Tavatanakit (world number 3) and Nasa Hataoka (world number 18). Other brands to make an appearance are Piretti and Swag Golf.

Great info all in one place. My distances relate to mid or lower length LPGA pros and have been looking to properly gap the upper end of the bag. Two really strong trends split about 50/50 are shown here with a little variation on the 4H, 4I, or 4U:

3 wood (15), 5 wood (18), 4 hybrid (22-23) [sometimes 4U/ 4I] or 3 wood (15), 3 hybrid (19-20), 4I [sometimes 4H 22-23]

In case anyone else has tried some different setups and may relate – I’ve tried eliminating a 3 wood twice, due to the fitting recommendations of the higher lofted woods creating more carry and controlled decent. Tried a strong lofted 5 wood, 7 wood and gapping from there. Each time I found myself missing a 3 wood for certain situations fairly often. Seeing this list helps confirm the setup options I need to test.

Always more of a challenge to get current women’s witb info. Thanks for putting it together and sharing some analysis.

Good info. Could you also give details of their shaft flexes (R, S, XS)? Would help golfers with similar swing speeds. Thanks

Most of them have the shaft flexes listed. I’m guessing the one’s that don’t weren’t available.

Why rory mcilroy will likely use the new taylormade brnr mini driver copper at the rbc heritage.

Although we spotted Rory McIlroy testing the new TaylorMade BRNR Mini Driver Copper last week during practice rounds at the Masters, he ultimately didn’t decide to use the club in competition.

It seems that will change this week at the 2024 RBC Heritage, played at the short-and-tight Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head.

When asked on Wednesday following his morning Pro-Am if he’d be using the new, nostalgic BRNR Copper this week, McIlroy said, “I think so.”

“I like it,” McIlroy told GolfWRX.com on Tuesday regarding the BRNR. “This would be a good week for it.”

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by GolfWRX (@golfwrx)

According to Adrian Rietveld, the Senior Manager of Tour at TaylorMade, the BRNR Mini Driver can help McIlroy position himself properly off the tee at the tight layout.

Here’s what Rietveld told GolfWRX.com on Wednesday:

“For someone like Rory, who’s that long at the top end of the bag, and then you put him on a course like Harbour Town, it’s tough off the tee. It’s tight into the greens, and you have to put yourself in position off the tee to have a shot into the green. It kind of reminds me of Valderrama in Spain, where you can be in the fairway and have no shot into the green.

“I’m caddying for Tommy [Fleetwood] this week, so I was walking the course last night and looking at a few things. There’s just such a small margin for error. You can be standing in the fairway at 300 yards and have a shot, but at 320 you don’t. So if you don’t hit a perfect shot, you could be stuck behind a tree. And then if you’re back at 280, it might be a really tough shot into the small greens.

“So for Rory [with the BRNR], it’s a nice course-specific golf club for him. He’s got both shots with it; he can move it right-to-left or left-to-right. And the main thing about this club has been the accuracy and the dispersion with it. I mean, it’s been amazing for Tommy.

“This was the first event Tommy used a BRNR last year, and I remember talking to him about it, and he said he couldn’t wait to play it at Augusta next year. And he just never took it out of the bag because he’s so comfortable with it, and hitting it off the deck.

“So you look at Rory, and you want to have the tools working to your advantage out here, and the driver could hand-cuff him a bit with all of the shots you’d have to manufacture.”

So, although McIlroy might not be making a permanent switch into the new TaylorMade BRNR Mini Driver Copper, he’s likely to switch into it this week.

His version is lofted at 13.5 degrees, and equipped with a Fujikura Ventus Black 7X shaft.

Spotted: TaylorMade P-UDI driving iron

It seems like the RBC Heritage is full of new gear to be spotted, and you can add TaylorMade’s P-UDI utility irons to that list.

We spotted a 17-degree P-UDI 2-iron in Nick Dunlap’s bag yesterday, and now have some photos of both the 3- and 4-irons. Nick has his P-UDI 2-iron setup with a Project X HZRDUS Black 4th Gen 105g TX shaft.

From what we can tell, this new P-UDI utility iron looks to have some of the usual TaylorMade technology as we can see the Speed Slot on the sole of the club for additional face flexibility. A toe screw is usually used to close off the hollow body design that will probably be filled with a version of TaylorMade’s Speed Foam that is present in the current iron lineup. This hollow body, foam-filled design should offer additional ball speed, soft feel, and sound, as well as an optimized CG for ball flight.

“Forged” is etched into the hosel, so we can assume that either the face, body, or both are forged for a soft and responsive feel. The club looks good from behind and at address, where we can see just a little offset and a topline that I would consider medium thickness. We don’t have the full details on what is under the hood or how many loft options will be available yet.

Nelly Korda What's In The Bag?

Five years younger than fellow LPGA player and sister Jessica Korda , Nelly Korda has become a star of the women's game, winning multiple times on the LPGA Tour, competing in Solheim Cups, winning a Major in 2021, and also winning Olympic gold in Tokyo. Here, we take a closer look at her choice of clubs.

What Driver Does Nelly Korda Use?

Korda is a brand ambassador for TaylorMade. Previously, Korda, who has also ticked off being World No.1, used a Titleist TSi1 driver, but this is no longer the case. Her weapon of choice is now the TaylorMade Qi10 Max driver , 10.5°, which is fitted with a Mitsubishi Diamana GT 60 S shaft. 

With a vastly different head shape to the TaylorMade norm and exceptional levels of forgiveness, we believe that this driver could be a real market disruptor; it's incredibly easy to launch and with impressive stability, it's sure to hold a lot of appeal for many golfers. It's unquestionably one of the best golf drivers in the game.

“The reason why I picked the Qi10 Max driver is the look of it compared to the other models. When I put it down and look at it I feel like I can hit any shot I want with the subtle blue face and silver topline,” Korda says.

“When I look down at it I feel like I can aim it realy well and I know where the center of the clubface too. For a golfer, if you don’t like the look of the club, you’re never going to be able to it hit. Once I put the Qi10 Max down and teed it up, I feel like I could hit any shot I wanted to.”

What Fairway Wood Does Nelly Korda Use?

Korda plays two TaylorMade Stealth 2 fairway woods , one of which acts as her three-wood with 15° of loft, and the other is more of a seven-wood with 21° of loft. They feature the Fujikura Ventus Red 7 S and Fujikura Ventus Black 7 S shafts, respectively.

Having put this club to the test on the golf course, we were very impressed with the feedback it offered; it is a very consistent club that caters to less experienced players, thanks mostly to how the weight is distributed lower in the clubhead. 

What Hybrid Does Nelly Korda Use?

It is our understanding that Korda also carries a hybrid, the Ping G425 , which has 26° of loft and features a Fujikura Ventus Blue HB 7 S shaft. It sounds as though this is a bit of an old favorite that helps do a job at the top end of the bag, especially with long approaches or tee shots on tight holes where precision is required.  

What Irons Does Nelly Korda Use?

Korda, one of the best ball strikers in the women's game, has a mixed line-up of TaylorMade irons . Her 5-iron is a TaylorMade P770 ; then she plays TaylorMade P7MC irons (6-PW), which is a hugely popular model on Tour. Her irons are fitted with the AeroTech SteelFiber i80 cw shaft. 

The TaylorMade P770 irons were relaunched back in the summer of 2020, and the second generation of these clubs earned a spot in our  Editor's Choice awards  for 2023 due to it's exceptional performance.

What Wedges Does Nelly Korda Use?

At the bottom end of the bag, Korda carries two TaylorMade MG4 wedges (50°-09SB, 54°-13HB). These two wedges are fitted with AeroTech SteelFiber i95 cw shafts. This is a great-looking wedge that spins at a consistently high level regardless of conditions. We also found it to be grippy on longer chips and pitches, too. 

That's not the wedge line-up complete, because Korda also has a Titleist Vokey WedgeWorks (58° T Grind), which she has personalised with her initials. 

What Putter Does Nelly Korda Use?

Korda used to own a Scotty Cameron Special Select Squareback 2 Prototype, but it appears that she is now using a Logan Olson prototype, which features a TaylorMade Golf Pride Pistol grip. This is a model that she was spotted using at the Grant Thornton Invitational . It's a similar model that Scottie Scheffler used to win the Hero World Challenge.

Although there is limited information on the putter, Olson Golf is a company formed by Logan Olson, who, according to his Instagram page, is a "Metal worker, programmer, machinist and your friendly neighborhood putter maker." 

It's not clear whether Korda has settled on the model, and we may well see her revert back to her Scotty Cameron, a brand, of course, that crafts some of the very best putters on the market.

What Ball Does Nelly Korda Use?

Korda plays the TaylorMade TP5x golf ball, which has been one of the best premium golf balls that money can buy for some time. This ball offers a firmer feel compared to its sibling, the TaylorMade TP5 golf ball. If you are after a more 'clicky' feel around the greens and powerful 'thud' from the tee, the TP5x golf ball is for you. 

What Shoes Does Nelly Korda Wear?

A post shared by Nelly (@nellykorda) A photo posted by on

Korda is the perfect fit for Nike. In 2023, she announced her apparel deal with the sportswear giant with a social media post. As well as wearing Nike clothing, the American star wears Nike shoes . We believe there are some new models on the way, and we would expect to see Korda wearing some eye-catching styles as the 2024 season progresses.

Most Popular Driver on LPGA Tour? Top 50 Player Guide (2021)

Written by Graeme Hay | Last Updated: 12/03/2024

This post contains affiliate links.

The game of golf seems to be obsessed with distance these days and when it comes to that topic the conversation typically moves swiftly to the biggest club the bag – the driver.

On the LPGA Tour the distances the top pros are hitting the ball off the tee continue to increase and at this current rate it seems it will not be long before the longest hitter on the LPGA Tour is averaging over 300 yards in driving distance.

But what drivers are most popular amongst the top professionals in the women’s game? To find out we took a detailed look at the driver each of the top 50 players on the LPGA Tour is carrying.

PING’s G425 LST is the most popular driver among the top 50 LPGA Tour players with 6 players choosing it. Titleist’s TSi3 is the next most used model while PING’s G410 Plus driver ranks 3rd. 26% of this elite group play a PING driver with TaylorMade and Titleist driver models being used by 16% and 14% respectively.

The make and model of any driver only tells us so much however and when we looked at the drivers being used by some of the best players in the women’s game it was interesting to see the multitude of different shafts being used and the variance in lofts chosen by the different players.

What was also fascinating to note was that despite all the focus on distance in the modern game two time major champion and former world number 1 – Ariya Jutanugarn – chooses not to carry a driver at all!

Breakdown of Drivers Used by Top 50 LPGA Tour Players

Even just a cursory glance at the average driving stats of the LPGA Tour quickly highlights that the same trend can be seen in the professional women’s game as in the men’s.

The distances the top pros are hitting the ball is steadily increasing and while the great Laura Davies topped the driving charts in 1993 with an average distance of 254 yards such a distance would barely scrape her into the top 100 longest hitters on the LPGA Tour today.

The advances in golf technology, specifically with the driver, has been a significant factor in this increase in average driving distances and when it comes to the elite of the women’s professional game and the top 50 LPGA Tour players it is no surprise to find the majority of them using the latest models from the top manufacturers.

In total we discovered 29 different models of drivers being used by the top 50 players on the LPGA Tour with PING’s G425 LST being the most popular and 6 players choosing it. Indeed PING drivers proved to be the most popular brand also with 13 of the top 50 using their driver models.

The major brands of PING, Titleist, TaylorMade and Callaway dominate the drivers used by the top 50 LPGA players but it is interesting to note that PXG is a far more used brand of driver on the LPGA Tour compared to the PGA Tour with 6 of the top 50 using one.

As with the men’s game however when you look in detail at the drivers being used by the top women pros the fact that they use the same model of driver does not tell the full story as the similarities often stop there with individual players choosing different set ups that suit their swing and game best.

As a result the shaft, loft and lie angle combinations rarely match between different players.

For example even though 6 of the top 50 LPGA Tour players use a PING G425 LST driver not one of those setups matches the other when you take into account the shaft, loft and lie angle choices.

“My ball flight is a bit high so the TSi3 performs better than TSi2 .” So Yeon Ryu, Titleist LPGA Tour player

It is also interesting to note when it comes to looking at the drivers selected by the top 50 LPGA players that former world no.1 Ariya Jutanugarn is excluded from such an analysis.

And the simple reason for this is that she does not actually carry a driver in her golf bag.

Ariya Jutanugarn’s decision not to carry a driver is a fascinating one and indeed triggered her ascent to world no.1. After a string of missed cuts in 2016 her caddie pleaded with her to take her driver out of the bag and after agreeing to do so she moved to be ranked no.1 in the world the following year in 2017.

While today Jutanugarn uses her driver in some practice rounds she has never returned to putting it back in the bag for competitive rounds for the simple reason that she does not feel accurate enough with her driver preferring instead to hit 3-woods and 2-irons off the tee.

And even with this change she still ranks just outside the top 40 for average driving distance on the LPGA Tour so it doesn’t seem to be affecting her too much!

Here is a complete breakdown of the drivers used currently by the top 50 players on the LPGA Tour in the table below.

[Note – if you are interested in checking out how the driver set of the top 50 LPGA players compares to their colleagues on the PGA Tour check out our analysis of the drivers used by the top 100 PGA Tour players here .]

What Driver Shaft Do Most LPGA Players Use?

When it comes to driver shaft choice the top professionals in the world are often very particular when it comes to their preference and the top 50 players on the LPGA Tour are no different.

Not all the individual driver shaft data is available for this elite group with details of the shafts being used by the 21 not being available but for the remaining 28, excluding Ariya Jutanugarn who does not use a driver, we found the following.

As a whole the most common driver shaft flex used by the top 50 LPGA Tour players is stiff. Nelly & Jessica Korda, Nasa Hataoka and Lizette Salas all play stiff driver shafts while Brooke M Henderson chooses to use an extra stiff shaft in her driver. 4 players including Inbee Park choose a regular driver shaft flex.

Driver shaft weights amongst the top 50 vary between 50g and 68g with the most common being 65g and chosen by 5 players in the data set available. Indeed Nelly Korda chooses a 65g driver shaft in the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ 6 S shaft she uses in her Titleist TSi1 driver.

In total we found 32 different driver shaft models being used by the top 50 LPGA Tour players with Graphite Design’s Tour AD IZ 6 S shaft being the most popular. Graphite Design is also the most used driver shaft brand followed by Fujikura with 11 users and Mitsubishi shafts with 6 players choosing them.

While Graphite Design’s Tour AD IZ 6 S shaft is its most popular model according to the data available Fujikura’s Ventus and Speeder Evolution ranges of shaft find the most favour among their users.

When it comes to Mitsubishi’s range of driver shafts we found one player each using the following models – KURO KAGE Black 55 R, Tensei CK Pro White 60 S, Tensei CK Pro White 50 S, Diamana BF 60 S, Diamana BF 60 R and Diamana DF 50 R.

What Driver Loft Do LPGA Players Use?

Professional golfers are very precise with their equipment and when it comes to driver loft different players will choose different degrees of driver depending on their swing, how they want to flight the ball in play and also on the conditions.

Modern golf technology also makes it much easier now for players to alter the loft of their drivers and when it comes to looking at the driver set up of the top 50 LPGA players it is clear most of them take advantage of the preciseness modern drivers afford them.

Driver lofts used by the top 50 LPGA players range from 8 up to 11 degrees. The most common driver loft is 9 degrees with 17 players choosing that degree of driver. 10.5 degrees is the next most used loft with 11 golfers opting for that degree of driver with another 5 players each choosing 9.5 and 10 degree drivers.

When looking at the choices of driver loft selected by the best players on the LPGA Tour it was noticeable that there was less variance compared to their male colleagues but it is of course common for the top pros to change the loft of their driver depending on the latest course they are playing.

Below is a breakdown of driver lofts currently used among the top 50 LPGA Tour players.

5 Most Popular Irons On The LPGA Tour (2023 Update)

Women are grabbing their golf clubs at an increasing rate across the country and worldwide. The popularity of golf seems to be increasing as the number of female golfers participating in the LPGA is currently double what it was in 2013. So, what are the most popular irons on the LPGA Tour in 2023?

The 5 most popular irons on the LPGA Tour are:

• T aylorMade Stealth Women’s Irons
• Callaway Rogue ST Max Lite
• Titleist T300 Women’s Irons
• Callaway Big Bertha Reva
• Cleveland Launcher XL Halo

The LPGA is a testament to the sport’s growing popularity among women. Ladies are picking up golf club sets around the country with the hope of one day participating in the Tour, and many women wonder what irons their role models use to win prestigious competitions.

LPGA Tour Players Mix And Match Their Irons

Many LPGA Tour players don’t have complete sets of one brand of irons but mix and match between brands and clubs based on what irons they prefer. So shorter irons could be one brand and longer irons another.

It is also known that many pro ladies prefer cavity back irons and use hybrids instead of long irons. You may also find that some women players have a complete set of irons from 4-PW and then have a different brand for a 3-iron or driving iron.

Most Popular Irons On The LPGA Tour

The five most popular irons on the LPGA 2023 are T aylorMade Stealth Women’s Irons, Callaway Rogue ST Max Lite, Titleist T300 Women’s Irons, Callaway Big Bertha Reva, and Cleveland Launcher XL Halo.

With the surge of participation in the LPGA, more and more women are choosing golf as a sport. You can witness its increased popularity in the growing number of female participants in the LGPA. Many women wonder what irons other players use, and new data clarifies the favorites.

As with all sports, golfers have preferences regarding what irons they choose. However, some irons are favored over others. Interestingly, more and more golfers are moving from irons to hybrids , but you can avoid this if you find a suitable iron.

Some women struggle with confidence when using their irons, so knowing you have a brand you can rely on is helpful.  

1. TaylorMade Stealth Women’s Irons

TaylorMade Stealth Women’s Irons ranks highly among LPGA players. They are new on the market and have improved appearance compared to other models of irons. In addition, the sleek design puts it in the top spot for aesthetic appeal.

The Cap Back design feature of these irons means they lend themselves to more consistency. They are known for launching the ball high and staying relatively straight.

If you struggle with launching the ball, Stealth irons can help produce a higher launch and improved extended carry.

Stealth features the first inclusion of carbon material in TaylorMade products. This has led to high ball speed, with some players believing this is the most elevated ball speed iron for women on the market.

Compared to other irons, Stealth is known to have a good feel, largely thanks to the Echo Damping System, which helps to absorb vibration on impact. The carbon material, face flexibility, and Echo Damping give these irons a better feel than most irons.

2. The Callaway Rogue ST Max Lite Irons

The Callaway Rogue ST Max Lite irons are at the top of the range for forgiveness and are favored on the LPGA Tour. This can be attributed to the new face technology and lighter-weight construction of the iron.

They are also a sleeker and more appealing design than the Rogue original, thanks to the face optimization that was done. As a result, the club resembles the Apex more than the original Rogue.

If you want to improve your turf interaction and launch, this iron makes up for the down view, which is a bit thick.

This club is also suitable for adding distance. Callaway’s technology utilizes a process whereby the lofts are adjusted for distance. The downside of this iron is that you’ll likely need to work on control, although the precision tungsten weighting does help with this.

3. Titleist T300 Irons

Titleist T300 irons are also known for their forgiveness and are an excellent option for a lower handicap player. This club is recommended for those with a handicap of 15 or below.

These irons are regarded for their level of control, which can come at the price of distance. If your focus is on fine-tuning game elements like increasing and decreasing ball flight, these are ideal irons for you.

4. The Callaway Big Bertha Reva Irons

One of the most popular irons on the LPGA Tour is the Big Bertha Reva. This is a frontrunner for those looking to improve their slice. This iron looks like a forgiving cavity back iron for those with high and low handicaps. Although it may not be the most aesthetically appealing iron in the Callaway line, it is forgiving.

Its design will reduce any slice spin you put on the ball, mainly thanks to the strong heel weighting and the width of the base of the club. However, these clubs do not increase distance, so if that’s your concern, these are not the best choice.

These irons incorporate the urethane microsphere technology in previous models, which reduces vibration. As a result, the Reva is known for consistency but not so much for workability.

5. The Cleveland Launcher XL Halo Irons

The Cleveland Launcher XL Halo Irons are not known for their sleek look. These clubs are bulky compared to other irons in their category but more than make up for this in forgiveness.

They differ from other makes because the head design is more significant than usual. They are good for getting a higher launch but do not add extra distance capacity. The precisely engineered grooves placed in the irons help to improve short game spin, even with a hybrid clubhead design.

They give good control and are easy to hit and keep spin under control with their high launch and steep decent angle.

The Cleveland Launcher XL Halo is easy to use with its big head and MainFrame variable face technology that increases ball speed. This iron is forgiving, thanks to the unique weight pad design across the face. In addition, it offers excellent control thanks to the eight-gram weight placed inside the end of the grip.

They are said to help develop a more consistent strike, with glide rails on the long irons delivering excellent turf interaction.

Final Thoughts

The LPGA is a testament to the sport’s growing popularity among women. As irons make up most of the clubs you’re allowed to carry in your bag, making the right choice is essential.

With the ever-increasing number of females playing golf, more variety is available to suit your specific needs, but remember that advice from a professional coach or club technician is always a good idea before making a purchase.

It will be interesting to see if and how these top irons used by the ladies on Tour change over the coming years as manufacturers jostle to move up the popularity rankings. But for now, these 5 irons are well ahead of the chasing pack.

Golf Digest Logo Efficiency

How an LPGA Tour star packs for the road

Illustration by Gustavo Magahles

They don't tell you this when you turn pro , but packing is part of the job. We’re on the road for weeks at a time. Packing the necessary gear as efficiently as possible is a skill. The key to golf travel is preparation and packing your golf-club travel case to perfection. This isn’t a typical suitcase or carry-on: This bag holds your clubs. Packing and arranging everything in a way that protects your sticks and fits a ton of gear all while staying within a manageable weight limit is an art. Here’s how I go about it. First, if possible, take the head off of your driver. It’s the longest club—and thus most vulnerable—in your bag. (It’s also my favorite club in the bag!) The last thing you want is to show up at your destination with a broken driver shaft. The best way to avoid this is to take the club wrench, detach the driver head, wrap it in a towel and pack it in your bag.

Weather conditions can vary by the week or day, so outfits with versatility are essential. Pack different types of layers. I carry everything from sun layers to raingear to sweaters depending on where we’re playing.

Despite the amount I travel with, I prefer to keep my carry-on bag light, with only a few things for the plane so that I’m not having to lug a lot of bags through airports.

I’ve also found packing vertically is the best way to fit the most gear. I like to stand my golf-travel bag upright, put my clubs in and then fit my shoes, towels and other gear around the sides before zipping it up. I do the same with my suitcase: I pack all folded clothes vertically instead of laying them flat. This provides me with a clear visual on everything.

I pack two checked bags to capacity and count on coming home with fewer gloves and balls than I left with. Do the same, and you’ll have enough room for a golf souvenir or two. —With Keely Levins

Five things to know: Dunes Golf and Beach Club in Myrtle Beach

Need to Know

One of Myrtle Beach’s first courses is hosting inaugural Myrtle Beach Classic this week

Change Text Size

A single golf hole deserves the credit for making Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, the first resort destination ever put on the map. The Dunes Golf and Beach Club is certainly the most famous of the courses on South Carolina’s Grand Strand, and its 13th hole remains one of the region’s most iconic. It is aptly named “Waterloo” and wraps around Lake Singleton, creating a 90-degree dogleg right around the water.

This week, the Dunes Club hosts the inaugural Myrtle Beach Classic, adding to a tournament history that also includes the 1962 U.S. Women’s Open, PGA TOUR Champions’ Tour Championship, PGA TOUR Q-School and the 2017 U.S. Women’s Amateur Four-Ball. The course measures 7,450 yards and features a slope rating of 76.1.

Here are five things you need to know about the historic venue hosting the newest PGA TOUR event.

1. A pioneer

When it opened in 1949, the Dunes Club was the second course built in and around Myrtle Beach. It was preceded only by Pine Lakes Country Club (1927). A savvy marketer, Jimmy D’Angelo, was the head pro at the Dunes and managed to put together an annual media event of golf and baseball writers. The gathering was timed to catch the scribes on their way north from covering Spring Training in Florida, as well as from the Masters in Georgia. D’Angelo treated them to golf, an open bar and the wonders of the beachfront resort.

The popularity of the town for sports journalists eventually led to a discrete gathering of writers, editors and publishers in Pine Lakes’ elegant Georgian clubhouse in February 1954 that marked the founding of Sports Illustrated magazine. Myrtle Beach quickly grew into an affordable destination for golfers, ultimately gaining more than 100 courses and a reputation as “The Golf Capital of the World.”

2. A big break

Robert Trent Jones Sr. (RTJ) is a legend of golf course architecture, but back in the late 1940s, Jones was still struggling to establish himself in the industry. Though he was well-trained for the task, Jones’ career – like the entire golf industry – was interrupted by the Depression and World War II and took time to emerge postwar. He had a number of low-budget public courses to his credit and was one of 14 founding members (along with Donald Ross) of the American Society of Golf Course Architects in 1947. He’d also just finished redesigning the par-3 16th hole at Augusta National and had begun working with Bobby Jones on Peachtree Golf Club in Atlanta. Then Robert Trent Jones Sr. landed the assignment for the Dunes Club, which became his first nationally acclaimed solo design. It also established his reputation for designing courses that required a style of aerial power golf that repudiated the classic-era ground game.

It helped in giving shape to the Dunes Club that he worked with the same construction foreman – Bill Garrett – with whom he worked at Augusta National and Peachtree. Soon after the Dunes Club opened, they returned to Augusta National to create today’s par-4 11th that features a pond left of the green and a tricky approach from the right. Soon, RTJ was the subject of a fawning profile by writer Herbert Warren Wind in The New Yorker that highlighted his renovation of Oakland Hills Country Club’s South Course, turning it into an absolute beast that tormented the game’s top players. Ben Hogan shot a final-round 67 to win the U.S. Open there and declared, “I'm glad I brought this course, this monster, to its knees." RTJ’s reputation was set.

3. Keeping it with the Joneses

The Dunes Club embodies Jones’ commitment to demanding power golf featuring well-bunkered, slightly elevated greens that require an aerial approach. It remains a thrilling period piece, a throwback to when golf went from a ground game to an aerial game. Even with a total elevation change of only 26 feet on the property, the course presents itself well from each tee due to the meticulous routing and the use of native contours.

Unlike modern architects who scatter small tees at various distances and angles, Jones cultivated a trademark reliance upon long runway tees, some of them stretching 60-70 yards from back to front. Jones also heavily bunkered his greens, requiring aerial approach shots hit to carefully controlled distances. He then segmented the putting surfaces, making it crucial that players hit their approaches close to the hole, lest they be left with a lengthy putt that must traverse multiple ledges.

The Dunes Club design has been kept in the Jones family thanks to extensive renovation by Trent Jones’ younger son, Rees Jones, over the last 20 years. The scope of work has been extensive but involved no re-routing of any holes. Instead, there was refinement of some green sites, addition of fairway bunkers, course lengthening, a new irrigation system, practice tee enhancement and conversion of the putting surfaces to Champion ultradwarf bermudagrass for better performance in warm weather. Greens were also expanded to an average size of 6,000 square feet – large enough to provide room for the ball to roll out under today’s greater putting speeds. “I tried to build it for today’s play while preserving Dad’s design character,” said Rees.

4. Waterloo

For all its subtlety, the Dunes Club struck a note among golfers because of its par-5 13th, a scimitar-shaped par 5 that turns right around Lake Singleton and is the epitome of heroic design. Images of the hole started appearing in magazines, books and on lists of “best holes,” and it remains the kind of memorable hole that you anticipate, think about the entire round, and replay in your mind long after playing it.

The 13th hole at The Dunes Golf & Beach Club is aptly named “Waterloo” and wraps around Lake Singleton, creating a 90-degree dogleg right around the water.

Technically, it’s less a dogleg than a 90-degree right angle – rare among golf holes. The fairway narrows as a player gets farther from the tee, pinching down to about 18 yards across at 330 yards from the tee. Players with enough nerve and control to place their tee shot 280 yards off the tee and just past a line of oaks on the right will have a shorter shot across the water to reach the green in two than a player who hits a longer drive to the left side of the fairway.

5. Fast track

Due to extensive drainage and because it sits on a naturally sandy site, the Dunes Club plays very firm. This makes for an unusually interesting playing field, one that will reward precise shot-making. Fairway landing areas off the tee are on the narrow side – 20 to 25 yards across. The greens are much harder to hold when played from the 2-inch overseeded ryegrass rough, so accuracy off the tee will be rewarded rather than “bomb and gouge” golf. That is because 16 of the greens are bunkered on the left and right – the other two are only bunkered front right. Miss a fairway and controlling a second shot will not be easy.

All of which will make for some interesting golf to watch as PGA TOUR players confront this traditional test for the first time.

Australians Grace Kim and Hannah Green tied for lead in LPGA Tour’s JM Eagle LA Championship

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Grace Kim stumbled to a 5-over 76 on Saturday in the LPGA Tour’s JM Eagle LA Championship — and still held onto a share of the lead.

It was that kind of a day at Wilshire Country Club, the tree-lined layout made difficult by bumpy poa annua greens and tricky wind conditions.

“It’s tough for everyone today,” Kim said. “It was just one of those days. It’s just golf.”

Four strokes ahead entering the day after rounds of 64 and 66, Kim was tied with fellow Australian Hannah Green, the defending champion who saved par with a 12-footer on the par-3 18th for a 70. They were at 7-under 206.

“The putt that I made on 18 almost felt like I birdie,” Green said.

Maja Stark, playing alongside Kim in the final group, bogeyed the 18th for a 73.

“You know that you can’t take every missed putt too personally because that’s going to happen for everyone,” Stark said.

The Swede was a stroke back with Jin Hee Im, the South Korean player who had a back-nine 30 in a 63 for the best round of the day, and Germany’s Esther Henseleit (71). Nasa Hataoka of Japan was 5 under after a 64.

Kim bogeyed the par-5 second hole and had a double bogey on the par-3 fourth. She also dropped shots on the par-4 10th and 16th holes.

“I tried to stay in the present of just the next shot, giving myself good chances,” said the 23-year-old Kim, The LOTTE Championship last year in Hawaii for her first LPGA Tour title. “I know I had a few three-putts in there, but just keeping my head in the game and not losing that shot focus.”

The 27-year-old Green rebounded from a 2-foot par miss on the par-4 17th with the par save on 18. After bogeying three of the last six holes on the front nine, she played a four-hole stretch on the back nine in 4 under. She eagled the par-5 13th and birdied 14 and 16, then missed the short putt on 17.

“I didn’t really have many full swings. Had a lot of half-shots in,” said Green, the winner in Singapore early last month for her fourth LPGA Tour title. “With the greens firming up and getting bouncy it kind of made it hard to completely trust that shot.”

Stark finished second last week outside Houston in The Chevron Championship, two strokes behind top-ranked Nelly Korda in the first major of the year. Korda withdrew Monday, a day after her record-tying fifth straight victory.

What is the difference between these 2 Moscow metro tours on the same tour group page? One is less expensive than the other but both have positive reviews.

We would like to go on this tour but could not decide which one to book. Thank you.

I see the only difference - one mentioned Spanish-speaking guide, the other not-presumably English...

I've seen one more - for 60+ euro!

Looks a bit unreal :)))
