Above it sit two fairway woods and two hybrids — a long game built almost entirely out of wood heads. Every club, club by club. **Setup verified:** 2026-09-13 Lauren Coughlin plays Ping from driver to putter, and the shape of the bag is the interesting part. Between the G440 K driver and the 6-iron she carries four heads: G440 Max fairway woods at 13.75° and 19°, then G425 hybrids at 21° and 26°. The iron set — Ping i240s — does not start until the 6-iron, and the short game is two s259 wedges at 52° and 58°. Coughlin turned professional in 2016, came through the Symetra Tour and won there in 2018 before taking her LPGA card at Q-School. She won twice in three weeks in 2024, at the CPKC Women's Open and the ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open, added the Aramco Championship in April 2026, and went 3-0-1 on her Solheim Cup debut in 2024. Bernardus was her second; the United States lost 13–15. ## Quick facts - **Tour:** LPGA Tour - **Clubs:** Ping (full staff) - **Driver:** Ping G440 K (9°) - **Ball:** Titleist Pro V1 ## The bag | Club | Model | Spec | | --- | --- | --- | | Driver | [Ping G440 K](https://ifrothgolf.com/product/ping-g440-k-driver) | 9° | | Fairway woods | [Ping G440 Max](https://ifrothgolf.com/product/ping-g440-max-fairway-wood) | 13.75° & 19° | | Hybrids | Ping G425 Hybrid | 21° & 26° | | Irons | [Ping i240](https://ifrothgolf.com/product/ping-i240-irons) | 6-PW | | Wedges | [Ping s259](https://ifrothgolf.com/product/ping-s259) | 52° & 58° | | Putter | [Ping PLD Oslo 4](https://ifrothgolf.com/product/ping-pld-milled-oslo-putter) | Mallet | | Golf ball | [Titleist Pro V1](https://ifrothgolf.com/product/titleist-pro-v1) | | ## Notes This is a bag built around not hitting long irons. Four wood-and-hybrid heads cover everything from the tee down to roughly a 5-iron distance, the iron set is five clubs, and there are only two wedges. Most tour bags run the other way — three wedges and a longer iron set — so Coughlin has effectively traded a scoring club for a long-game club. The hybrids are the oldest clubs in the bag. G425 launched in 2021 and Ping has released the G430 and G440 families since, yet the 21° and 26° heads have stayed while the driver and fairway woods moved to G440. One honest gap: the published list accounts for thirteen clubs — driver, two fairway woods, two hybrids, five irons, two wedges and the putter. No outlet names the fourteenth, so we leave the hole visible rather than invent a club to fill it. Her 2024 setup was different enough to be worth noting: National Club Golfer's September 2024 check had her on a G430 Max 10K driver, one fairway wood, i230 irons and a Blueprint S 48° wedge. Everything except the PLD Oslo putter has turned over since. ## FAQ ### What driver does Lauren Coughlin use?
