MARLBOROUGH, Mass. March 13, 2006 – The winner of the 2006 Honda Classic trusted CHAMP Stingerâ?¢ spikes, making a clutch birdie on the 72nd hole to secure a two-stroke victory over a tightly packed leaderboard. This victory gives the spike manufacturer its fourth win in four weeks on the PGA Tour, and six wins in just 11 events this season.
In total, at least 48 players in the field wore CHAMP spikes. Of those competitors, 35 chose CHAMP Stinger. With twice the durability of its nearest competitor, the Stinger offers unparalleled traction through primary and secondary elements that provide gripping power, stability and support from the ground up. At least another 13 golfers opted for the new CHAMP Pro Stingerâ?¢ spikes. The Pro Stinger, a half-plastic/half-metal hybrid, gives professional golfers the security of a metal spike with the comfort and many of the course-friendly qualities of non-metal spikes.
With this victory, Champ now owns six PGA TOUR titles and three Champions Tour wins in the 2006 season to go with one victory on the European Tour.
Last season 24 winners on the PGA TOUR wore CHAMP spikes.
