Equipment Shake-Up: Nelly Korda Debuts New TaylorMade Qi4D Driver and Exclusive Nike Shoe Collab Heading into 2026
Nelly Korda is ringing in 2026 with fresh gear: debuting TaylorMade’s unreleased Qi4D driver and an exclusive Nike shoe collaboration. Spotted at the Grant Thornton Invitational, the new driver replaces her Qi10 Max, promising enhanced forgiveness and distance — perfect for her powerful swing.
As a longtime TaylorMade staffer, Korda rigorously tested the Qi4D alongside pros like Rory McIlroy. Early results impressed: longer, straighter drives that could unlock even more birdie opportunities. She also switched irons earlier in 2025 for higher launch, showing her commitment to evolution.
Nike ups the style ante with a limited-edition shoe line featuring Korda’s signature colors and motivational motifs. “Comfort and confidence on every step,” Nelly teased on social media. The collab drops early 2026, already generating buzz among fans.
After a winless but consistent 2025 and her engagement glow-up, these upgrades signal intent: reclaim dominance. A lighter schedule will allow fine-tuning. Equipment shake-ups often precede hot streaks — remember her 2024 explosion? The LPGA should brace for impact.
