Winner’s bag: Lydia Ko’s gear at the 2024 AIG Women’s Open

Lydia Ko’s victory at the 2024 AIG Women’s Open was a testament to her skill and dedication. But it was also a showcase for her impressive equipment.

Ko’s driver was a Ping G430 LST, which she used to average 272 yards off the tee. Her irons were Ping i525s, with a 5-wood, 3-hybrid, and 4-hybrid.

For her short game, Ko relied on Ping Glide 4.0 wedges and a Ping Sigma 2 Tyne 4 putter.

Ko’s equipment played a key role in her victory at the AIG Women’s Open. Her driver gave her the distance she needed to hit the par-5s in two, and her irons provided her with the accuracy she needed to hit the greens in regulation. Her wedges and putter helped her to get up and down from difficult positions, and to make crucial putts when she needed them.

Ko’s equipment is a testament to her commitment to excellence. She knows that having the right equipment can make all the difference in a tournament, and she is willing to invest in the best gear available.
