Which Driver Dominated The LPGA Tour In 2024?

The 2024 LPGA Tour season has come to an end, highlighted by a historic campaign from Nelly Korda. The 26-year-old American made headlines early on, winning five of her first six tournaments in an unprecedented start to the year. She went on to claim two more titles, solidifying her position as World No 1 and earning the coveted Rolex Player of the Year award.

Other players also enjoyed standout seasons. Japan's Yuko Saso became the youngest ever player to win the US Women's Open twice. Lauren Coughlin, a maiden LPGA Tour winner, secured two victories, while Australian Hannah Green celebrated her best year yet with three titles.

Ruoning Yin and Lydia Ko matched Green’s three wins and Ko also added a crowning achievement by claiming Olympic gold, which earned her induction into the LPGA Hall of Fame as its 35th and youngest member.

Altogether, the season saw 20 different winners, each contributing to an exciting year. As an intriguing insight into the game, we take a look at the drivers used by this year's champions and reveal which brand came out on top.

Nelly Korda has a 10.5° TaylorMade Qi10 MAX driver, which is fitted with a Mitsubishi Diamana GT 60 S shaft. With an unusual head shape, it is designed to offer incredible forgiveness. It’s easy to launch and very stable.

“The reason why I picked the Qi10 Max driver is the look of it compared to the other models. When I put it down and look at it I feel like I can hit any shot I want with the subtle blue face and silver topline,” Korda says.

“When I look down at it I feel like I can aim it realy well and I know where the center of the clubface too. For a golfer, if you don’t like the look of the club, you’re never going to be able to it hit. Once I put the Qi10 Max down and teed it up, I feel like I could hit any shot I wanted to.”
