MARLBOROUGH, Mass. May 2, 2006 – With the level of competition on the professional golf tours at an all time high, true champions must be able to trust their equipment in the most pressure filled situations. That’s why the winners of the PGA Tour’s Zurich Classic and the LPGA’s Ginn Clubs & Resorts Open chose CHAMP spikes. The Zurich Classic champion showed incredible resiliency in overcoming wet and windy conditions to earn his first career win on Tour by holing a dramatic 55-foot chip on the 72nd hole. Meanwhile, the winner on the LPGA Tour finished at 12-under par to overcome a strong field of challengers in the final round and claim her first victory since 2002.
CHAMP spikes are building a tremendous following on the both the PGA and LPGA tours in 2006. CHAMP has been the spike of choice for 10 of the last 11 winners on the PGA Tour, while the majority of women on the LPGA opt for CHAMP every week. The CHAMP Stingerâ?¢ is the overwhelming choice of champions. The winner, along with 30 other golfers at the Zurich Classic in New Orleans, trusted the Stinger. Designed with input from thousands of professional and amateur golfers from all over the world, the Stinger features superior traction and a revolutionary visible wear indicator that lets golfers know when it is time to change their spikes. In addition, at least another 20 golfers at the Zurich Classic trusted the Pro Stingerâ?¢ from CHAMP. The Pro Stinger is a half-plastic /half-metal hybrid, which offers 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 12 out of 18 PGA Tour titles and three victories on the LPGA Tour in the 2006 season, to go with three Champions Tour wins and three victories on the European Tour.
Last season, 24 winners on the PGA Tour wore CHAMP spikes.
