CHASKA, Minn. – The most enviable head cover on tour belongs to world No. 1 Nelly Korda.
Longtime caddie Jason McDede annually designs a new head cover for his boss's driver, which is specially crafted by Eliott Golf, a company out of Charleston, South Carolina, that makes hand-sewn leather products.
McDede fills the head cover with symbols from special moments, such as Olympic gold, major wins and flags of countries where she hoisted a trophy. The current iteration includes a pair of dice for a 2024 victory in Las Vegas, for example, the Taiwan and Australian flags for her first two victories on tour, and a lion, which she has long used as a personal logo.

"Hopefully maybe we can do both sides next year," said McDede with a smile.
Korda, a 19-time winner on the LPGA, has four titles so far in 2026, including the first two majors of the season. She's in contention for a third straight major victory at this week's KPMG Women's PGA Championship.
