What’s In The Bag: Lexi Thompson

Today’s Golfer dives into the bag of serial LPGA Tour winner Lexi Thompson
Jump To: Thompson’s WITB
It’s very hard to believe that Lexi Thompson is only 28 years old, it feels like she’s been playing golf at the top level for decades – this is a testament to her exceptional skill and ability. With 84 top 10s and 11 career victories on the LPGA Tour alone, it’s not surprising that Thompson was part of the 2023 USA Solheim Cup Team despite a run of bad form.
Thompson is the most experienced member of the USA Team having appeared in the Solheim Cup on every occasion since 2013 (this will be her 6th appearance). The American succeeded with Team USA in 2015 and 2017.
There’s no hiding from the fact that 2023 hasn’t been the best season of Thompson’s stellar career but she still performed well enough to earn a spot at the Solheim Cup. Excluding 2023, the Floridian-born golfer has a proven track record of winning and contending right down to the wire.
It’s been a long time since 12-year-old Lexi Thompson burst onto the scene at the 2007 US Women’s Open, but at that point, everyone knew they were watching a superstar in the making. Fast forward 16 years and many of her dreams will have been fulfilled and she has a career to be proud of – and build on.
Thompson’s latest victory came back in October 2022, at the Aramco Team Series event in New York. She won that day by three strokes over Canadian Brooke Henderson and Swedish Madelene Sagstrom. After knocking on the day most of the season on the LPGA Tour, the American finally had her win on the LET (Ladies European Tour).
When the Cobra Puma athlete turned pro as a 15-year-old in 2010 there will have been hope of becoming a Major Champion, but she may not have expected it to happen as quickly as it did. In 2014, at the age of 19, Thompson became a Major Champion when she emerged victorious at the Kraft Nabisco Championship (Chevron Championship), beating fellow American, Michelle Wie, by three strokes.
Unfortunately, Thompson has never been able to replicate her Major victory but she’s hit the woodwork in every Major on the calendar, surely it’s only a matter of time before she adds another one to her résumé.
Being a Cobra Puma athlete, the majority of Thompson’s bag is comprised of Cobra equipment, but what models does the Floridian elect to use?

What fairway wood does Lexi Thompson use?
<meta charset="utf-8">Lexi Thompson uses a Cobra King LTD Lexi Blue (12.5°) with a Graphite Design Tour AD GP-6 Stiff shaft

What utility does Lexi Thompson use?

What irons does Lexi Thompson use?
Lexi Thompson has a full set of Cobra S2 Forged Irons (4-PW) with Project X <meta charset="utf-8">Rifle 5.0 shafts
Cobra S2 Forged irons aren't majorly unforgiving or hard to hit, they are a very middle-of-the-road club head. Let this be a message that just because you can swap equipment doesn't always mean you should. Unfortunately, you won't be able to go out and buy a set of these but Cobra's newest irons, King Tours, are very similar.

What wedges does Lexi Thompson use?
Lexi Thompson has three Cobra King Wedges (51°, 55°, and 59°) with True Temper Dynamic Gold S200 shafts
Once again, Thompson is using clubs that have been discontinued and can no longer be purchased. However, the new Cobra Snakebite Wedges are excellent and well worth going for instead.
What putter does Lexi Thompson use?

If you want the same putter as Lexi Thompson, unfortunately, you can't! Her putter has been discontinued and the model is no longer in production. The nearest putter to the Americans is the Scotty Cameron Super Select GoLo 6.
