Minjee Lee's WITB: the broomstick that won a major
Three seasons outside the top 120 in putting, then a 42-inch broomstick and a third major. Plus regular-flex woods, composite iron shafts, and one club she refused to give up when she changed sponsors.
By Jordan Hale · Equipment Writer
This is the bag Minjee Lee won the 2025 KPMG Women's PGA Championship with, and the headline is the putter: a 42-inch Odyssey Ai-ONE Square 2 Square #7 Cruiser broomstick. She had finished outside the top 120 on the LPGA in strokes gained putting in 2022, 2023 *and* 2024. Her longtime coach Ritchie Smith suggested the broomstick over the winter. She ranked 8th on tour in putting in 2025 and led the field in putting at the major she won.
She joined Callaway in February 2024, so this is a near-full staff build — with one telling exception, and a shaft setup that quietly contradicts what most amateurs believe about flex. Her brother is Min Woo Lee, who plays the same brand and the same ball with almost the opposite philosophy.

Minjee Lee's bag
Driver
Callaway Elyte (driver)
10.5° · Mitsubishi Diamana WB, regular flex
The standard Elyte head, not the tour-only Triple Diamond she played in 2024 — a deliberate step toward forgiveness, plus half a degree more loft.
3-wood
16.5° · Fujikura Ventus Red 6 R
16.5° is a tour/custom spec — retail Elyte fairways come in 15, 18, 21 and 24°.
7-wood
Callaway Elyte
21° · Fujikura Ventus Red 6 R
Replaced the 18° 5-wood and 22° hybrid she carried in 2024. No hybrid in the bag at all now.
Utility iron
Srixon ZX Mk II Utility
4-iron · 23° · Fujikura Ventus Blue HB 7 R
The one non-Callaway club — a holdover from her Srixon era that she kept rather than force a staff equivalent.
Irons
Callaway X Forged
5–PW · Aerotech SteelFiber i80
Graphite-composite iron shafts, and a Japan/tour-only iron at the time — it didn't reach US retail until a month after she won the major with it.
Wedges
Callaway Opus
52-10S, 56-10C, 60° · Nippon N.S. Pro 950 R
A disciplined 4° ladder behind a 46° pitching wedge. Steel shafts here, composite in the irons. Sources differ on the 60° grind.
Putter
Odyssey Ai-ONE Square 2 Square #7 Cruiser
42" broomstick · navy PVD · White Hot insert
Switched over the 2024–25 offseason. Odyssey's retail Cruiser is 38", so hers is a custom length.

The story of the bag
The broomstick is the story, and the numbers are stark. Outside the top 120 in strokes gained putting for three consecutive seasons, then 8th in 2025. "The roll is way better on the broomstick," she said. She led the field in putting at Fields Ranch East and won the KPMG Women's PGA by three. If you've spent years assuming a long putter is an admission of defeat, a three-time major champion has a different view.
Her shaft setup is the single most useful thing here for club golfers. She plays regular flex in every wood and stiff composite Aerotech SteelFiber i80 shafts in the irons, with regular-flex steel in the wedges. A multiple major winner plays R-flex woods. Flex labels aren't transferable between shafts or manufacturers, and "stiff because pros play stiff" is backwards for most amateurs.
She won a major with an iron American golfers couldn't buy. The Callaway X Forged was a Japan-market and tour-only iron that gained traction on the DP World, Asian, KLPGA and JLPGA tours. It only reached US retail in late July 2025 — about a month *after* she lifted the KPMG trophy with it.
The sibling contrast is genuinely instructive. Minjee and Min Woo Lee are both Callaway staffers playing the Chrome Tour X, and both game X Forged iron heads. Then it diverges completely: he's on Ventus Black VeloCore+ 7X and Nippon Modus3 125 X steel; she's on regular-flex Diamana and Ventus Red with SteelFiber composite. Same brand, same ball, opposite philosophies — X-flex steel against R-flex composite.
Honest caveat on recency: this bag is documented to the 2025 season, and no 2026 WITB for her has been published. Her 2026 has been difficult — missed cuts at the KPMG she was defending and at Evian, and a withdrawal at the Women's Scottish Open. Treat this as the setup that won the 2025 KPMG rather than a guaranteed snapshot of today.
Frequently asked
- What driver does Minjee Lee use?
- A Callaway Elyte at 10.5° with a Mitsubishi Diamana WB shaft in regular flex — the standard head rather than the tour-only Triple Diamond she played in 2024. She averaged over 262 yards per drive with it while winning the 2025 KPMG Women's PGA.
- What putter does Minjee Lee use — and is it a broomstick?
- Yes. A 42-inch Odyssey Ai-ONE Square 2 Square #7 Cruiser broomstick, switched in over the 2024–25 offseason at coach Ritchie Smith's suggestion. She had finished outside the top 120 in strokes gained putting for three straight seasons; in 2025 she ranked 8th and led the field in putting at the major she won.
- What shafts does Minjee Lee use in her irons?
- Aerotech SteelFiber i80 graphite-composite shafts, roughly 80g, from 5-iron to pitching wedge — and she has used SteelFiber i80s since at least her 2022 U.S. Women's Open win, through a full change of equipment sponsor. Note her woods are regular flex while the irons are stiff: flex labels don't transfer between shafts.
- Is Minjee Lee related to Min Woo Lee?
- Yes, he's her younger brother. Both are Australian, both are Callaway staffers and both play the Chrome Tour X ball. They're also the first brother-and-sister pair to have won USGA junior championships — Minjee the 2012 U.S. Girls' Junior, Min Woo the 2016 U.S. Junior Amateur.
- What ball does Minjee Lee play?
- The Callaway Chrome Tour X, confirmed in Callaway's own winner's-bag release after the 2025 KPMG Women's PGA. Before joining Callaway in February 2024 she played the Srixon Z-Star.
