This week is the first LPGA Tour event of the season, and when Golf Town Athlete Brooke Henderson tees off Thursday, she’ll be bagging a full set of clubs from a new equipment manufacturer.
First it was the golf ball. Now it’s the whole bag. 💯

TaylorMade Golf announced the expansion of its partnership with Brooke the day prior to the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, and she’ll join an impressive roster of some of the best in the game as part of Team TaylorMade!
As you may remember, Brooke signed with TaylorMade for its golf ball and glove in early 2022 and has now signed a multi-year contract to play 14 TaylorMade clubs. She will also have the TaylorMade logo on her headwear plus use the brand’s staff bag.
Brooke’s full What’s In The Bag (WITB) is below, but it’s highlighted by adding the all-new Stealth 2 Plus driver (plus fairway woods and rescues) to her bag. The Stealth 2 builds on TaylorMade’s impressive ultra-fast speeds associated with the next evolution of Carbonwood.
“As a player, consistency with my driver and control with my irons are key. I love hitting driver because power is a big part of my game, and Stealth 2 Plus has helped me add distance, which is always great,” said Brooke. “With the irons and wedges, I could quickly feel how much control I had with each swing. I’m excited for a full season with TaylorMade equipment in the bag and to continue building on what we started with golf ball.”
Brooke won twice in 2022 after switching to the TaylorMade TP5x golf ball, including her second major championship title.
World No. 2 Nelly Korda was also announced as a new member of Team TaylorMade this week and the pair will make their debuts playing their new clubs at the LPGA’s season opener at Lake Nona Golf and Country Club.
“I signed with TaylorMade because of their proven ability to elevate the game of the best golfers in the world. In testing with the TaylorMade Tour Team, it was clear that not only was I working with high-performing equipment, but also a team that shared my passion for working as hard as possible to be in the best position to win,” said Korda.
Brooke and Korda join an already impressive roster of sponsored athletes, including Collin Morikawa, Rory McIlroy, and of course, Tiger Woods.
The LPGA Tour’s 2023 season gets started Thursday with 29 golfers teeing it up in a unique format alongside stars of music, film, and sport.
Great news for Brooke. Big fan. Good luck in 2023.
