Winners on the European and LPGA tours notch impressive victories wearing CHAMP Stinger Spikes
MARLBOROUGH, Mass. (May 30, 2006) – Last Sunday, the European Tour’s Order of Merit leader capped a dominant week at the BMW Championship by claiming a five-stroke victory in Surrey, England. Across the Atlantic, the winner of the LPGA’s Corning Classic earned a hard-fought playoff victory to earn her fifth career title. The common bond shared by these two champions was the CHAMP Stinger(TM). The Stinger has great appeal to all types of players, which is why it is the spike of choice for champions across all professional tours. In fact, 25 players on the four major tours have won wearing CHAMP in 2006.
The majority of golfers on the European and LPGA Tours opt for CHAMP each week. Designed with input from thousands of professional and amateur golfers, the Stinger and Lady Stinger(TM) feature superior traction and a revolutionary visible wear indicator that allows golfers to know when it is time to change their spikes. Both spikes also offer soft durometer TPU for cushioning and resilience, providing twice the durability of the nearest competitor.
With this victory, CHAMP now owns five victories on the LPGA Tour and five European titles in 2006, to go with 12 PGA Tour victories and three Champions Tour wins.
Last season, 24 winners on the PGA Tour wore CHAMP spikes.
