MARLBOROUGH, Mass. March 20, 2006 – Last Sunday, CHAMP Spikes completed a golfing trifecta, capturing wins on the PGA, LPGA, and European tours. These victories provide continued momentum for CHAMP, which has been the spike of choice for the winner in five consecutive PGA Tour events, and now owns seven out of twelve titles on the tour this year.
The winners of the PGA Tour’s 2006 Bay Hill Invitational, the LPGA’s Safeway International, and the European Tour’s TCL Classic all trusted CHAMP Stingerâ?¢ spikes. The champion at Bay Hill earned a tightly contested one-stroke victory over an elite field, thanks to a clutch par on the 72nd hole. In total, at least 41 players wore CHAMP spikes at Bay Hill. Of those competitors, 26 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 these victories, Champ now owns seven PGA TOUR titles and three Champions Tour wins in the 2006 season, to go with two victories on the European Tour and one on the LPGA.
Last season 24 winners on the PGA TOUR wore CHAMP spikes.
