# Lydia Ko's WITB: the free agent's best-of bag

> No club contract for the first time in years, so she cherry-picked: Ping woods, Titleist irons and wedges, a Scotty Cameron putter. Lydia Ko's 2026 setup.

**Setup verified:** 2026-07-08

Lydia Ko goes into 2026 as an equipment free agent with no club contract, so her bag is a deliberate mix of her favourite brands: a low-spin Ping G440 K driver, Ping G440 Max fairway woods, Titleist irons and Vokey wedges, and a Scotty Cameron putter, all feeding a Titleist Pro V1x ball.

The headline move is that freedom itself — no longer tied to any single manufacturer after ending her PXG deal, she tests and cherry-picks across Ping, Titleist and Scotty Cameron. A mid-season Scotty Cameron putter switch preceded her career-low 60 at the 2026 Ford Championship.

## Quick facts
- **Tour:** LPGA Tour
- **Clubs:** Free agent (mixed)
- **Driver:** Ping G440 K (7.5°)

## Notes

The defining 2026 storyline is that Ko is unsigned for clubs for the first time in years, having moved on from her PXG deal. Freed from a single-brand obligation, she has assembled a best-of mix: Ping at the top of the bag, Titleist through the scoring clubs, a Scotty Cameron putter and a Pro V1x ball. She remains signed for apparel and footwear rather than clubs.

Two slots aren't agreed across reputable sources and we treat them as uncertain. Irons: most 2026 lists show Titleist T150, but one summer update lists Ping i240 — plausible given how freely she tests. Putter: most sources list a Scotty Cameron Phantom 12 Tour Prototype, while one lists a Phantom 11R; the switch around the Ford Championship (where she shot 60) is well documented, but the exact model isn't settled.

## FAQ

### What driver does Lydia Ko use?

A Ping G440 K driver at 7.5° with a Mitsubishi Diamana WB 43 S shaft. She plays it as a free agent, not under a driver contract.

### What ball does Lydia Ko play?

The Titleist Pro V1x, which she has played consistently across recent seasons.

### What putter does Lydia Ko use?

A Scotty Cameron putter — most 2026 sources list a Phantom 12 Tour Prototype with a SuperStroke Flatso grip, though one lists a Phantom 11R. She switched to a new Scotty Cameron around the 2026 Ford Championship.

### What irons does Lydia Ko play?

Most 2026 sources list Titleist T150 irons (5-9) with AeroTech SteelFiber fc 70 shafts, though one summer update lists Ping i240. As a free agent she tests freely, so the iron slot isn't fully settled.
