Nelly Korda dominated the semifinals and finals of T-Mobile Match Play at Shadow Creek to win her fourth consecutive LPGA Tour event and third in the last three weeks with Qi10 Max driver and TP5x golf ball. The World No. 1 won her semifinals match 4&3 and her finals match BLANK.
With the win, Korda became the first golfer to win four straight LPGA Tour events since 2008 and just the fourth golfer to do so in the last 40 years.
After winning the second hole to go 1 UP, Korda birdied the fifth to jump start a stretch of winning three straight holes with birdies to go 4 UP on the match. With a birdie on 12, Korda went 5 UP and then proceeded to finish the match on the 15th hole to secure her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
TaylorMade Senior Tour Manager Ryan Ressa has worked hand in hand with Nelly over the last few years to dial in her equipment and that work has paid off in dividends in 2024.
Ressa on why Korda plays Qi10 Max driver:
"As we look to create new shapes in our driver heads, we found something with the shape of the Qi10 Max that was a little deeper front to back and a slightly more heelward center of gravity," said Ressa. "She instantly set that club down and loved the way it looked. Nelly was able to start the ball on her intended line and loved seeing the ball fall left and be able to move it how she wanted in addition to hitting different flights and windows. She also notices on mis-hits that the spin stays really consistent. The window it takes off on is great and the shot shape is very repeatable for her."
Ressa on why Korda plays TP5x golf ball:
“Nelly was looking to bring the spin down, especially on her driver, so we did some testing in September," said Ressa. "We saw the benefits of TP5x in her driver and irons bringing the spin down a couple hundred RPMs. Then, around the greens, her launch on chips was a little bit lower and she generated more spin around the greens with TP5x than TP5. She produced a lot more check in a preferred trajectory coming off of the TP5x versus the TP5. She’s been happy with the ball ever since.”
The switch to TP5x led to drastic improvements in a few key statistical categories. After her win at the Ford Championship (via Justin Ray from Twenty First Group), Nelly improved her SG approach per round from 0,20 in 2023 to 1,02 in 2024, GIR from 73,4% in 2023 to 77,1% in 2024 and GIR after missing the fairway from 57% to 63%. Nelly switched to TP5x golf ball at the close of the 2023 season.
