It does not cover the putter, the lob wedge or the ball — all three come from somewhere else. Every club, club by club. **Setup verified:** 2026-09-13 Maja Stark plays Ping through the bag: a G440 K driver at 9°, a G430 Max fairway at 15°, a G430 hybrid at 22°, a two-model iron set and s159 wedges at 50° and 54°. Then it stops. The lob wedge is a Titleist Vokey WedgeWorks at 58°, the putter is a TaylorMade Spider Tour V, and the ball is a Titleist Pro V1. Stark won the 2025 U.S. Women's Open at Erin Hills by two shots, becoming the third Swedish woman to take the title after Annika Sörenstam and Liselotte Neumann. Her 2026 included a T8 at the U.S. Women's Open and a T10 at Evian, and Bernardus was her third Solheim Cup — she chipped in for eagle on the par-4 8th in Saturday foursomes alongside Linn Grant as Europe went on to win 15–13. ## Quick facts - **Tour:** LPGA Tour - **Clubs:** Ping (staff), with three exceptions - **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° · Mitsubishi Tensei 1K Orange 60 S | | Fairway wood | [Ping G430 Max](https://ifrothgolf.com/product/ping-g430-max-fairway-wood) | 15° · Graphite Design Tour AD-XC 6 S | | Hybrid | [Ping G430 Hybrid](https://ifrothgolf.com/product/ping-g430-hybrid) | 22° · Ping Tour 2.0 Chrome 85 S | | Long iron | [Ping i240](https://ifrothgolf.com/product/ping-i240-irons) | 4-iron | | Irons | [Ping Blueprint S](https://ifrothgolf.com/product/ping-blueprint-s) | 5-PW · Ping AWT S | | Wedges | [Ping s159](https://ifrothgolf.com/product/ping-s159-wedges) | 50°S, 54°S · Nippon Modus 3 105 | | Wedge | Titleist Vokey WedgeWorks | 58°.04L · Nippon Modus 3 105 | | Putter | TaylorMade Spider Tour V | Mallet | | Golf ball | [Titleist Pro V1](https://ifrothgolf.com/product/titleist-pro-v1) | | ## Notes Three clubs sit outside the Ping script, and they are the three places where players are most often left free to choose: putter, lob wedge and ball. The lob wedge is the telling one — she plays Ping s159s at 50° and 54° and then goes to a Vokey WedgeWorks 04L at 58°, a grind with almost no bounce, which is a fitting decision rather than a branding one. The G440 K is the other surprise. It is the most forgiving and most draw-biased head Ping makes, marketed at golfers fighting a slice — not the club you would expect under a U.S. Women's Open champion. Lauren Coughlin plays the same head. The iron set is split across two models: a single i240 4-iron, then Blueprint S from the 5-iron down. Blueprint S is a small, low-offset head, and the i240 above it does the job a hybrid does in most bags. ## FAQ ### What driver does Maja Stark use? A Ping G440 K at 9°, with a Mitsubishi Tensei 1K Orange 60 S shaft — the highest-MOI, draw-biased head in Ping's G440 family. ### What irons does Maja Stark play? A blended set: a Ping i240 4-iron on top of Ping Blueprint S irons from 5-iron to pitching wedge, on Ping AWT S shafts. ### What putter does Maja Stark use? A TaylorMade Spider Tour V — one of three clubs in her bag that aren't Ping. ### What ball does Maja Stark play? The Titleist Pro V1. ### Has Maja Stark won a major? Yes — the 2025 U.S. Women's Open at Erin Hills, by two shots. She was the third Swedish winner of the championship after Annika Sörenstam and Liselotte Neumann. ## Sources - [Today's Golfer — What's In The Bag: Maja Stark (updated 8 Sep 2026, full lofts and shafts)](https://www.todays-golfer.com/equipment/witb/what-s-in-the-bag-maja-stark/) - [Today's Golfer — What's in the bag of all 24 players at the 2026 Solheim Cup (13 Sep 2026)](https://www.todays-golfer.com/news-and-events/equipment-news/solheim-cup-2026-whats-in-the-bag-team-europe-team-usa/) - [Sky Sports — Maja Stark outlasts Nelly Korda for maiden major at Erin Hills](https://www.skysports.com/golf/news/12176/13377993/us-womens-open-solheim-cup-star-maja-stark-outlasts-nelly-korda-to-claim-maiden-major-title-with-two-shot-win-at-erin-hills) - [Golf Channel — Stark chips in for eagle in Saturday foursomes, 2026 Solheim Cup](https://www.golfchannel.com/watch/lpga/insane-stark-chips-in-for-eagle-in-saturday-foursomes) - [Wikipedia — Maja Stark](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maja_Stark) --- Source: [ifrothgolf](https://ifrothgolf.com) — independent golf-gear editorial.
