Win Marks Yet Another Victory for the Leading Spike Brand on Tour
Marlborough, MA -June 20, 2006- Geoff Ogilvy claimed victory at The 2006 US Open by outlasting the rest of the field and finishing one stroke ahead of all the others. Halfway through the "Grand Slam," CHAMP’s second major championship winner is also the second to sport CHAMP spikes in 2006. The winner’s choice at Winged Foot was the CHAMP Pro Stingerâ?¢.
CHAMP Spikes/ MacNeill Engineering are the overwhelming brand of choice of the top players on the PGA Tour. In fact, four of the top five finishers and six of the top ten at Winged Foot utilized CHAMP Spikes to help them maneuver their way through one of the toughest courses that featured some of the most challenging roughs and greens ever seen at a U.S. Open.
In addition to the PGA Tour, CHAMP Spikes are a player favorite and leader on several other tours as well. Nearly all of the top 20 players on the European PGA Tour count on CHAMP Spikes, and a vast majority of women on the LPGA prefer CHAMP, showing the company’s ability to provide golfers with all types of shoes, all over the world, the traction they demand. 31 of the top 50 players in the world consistently wear the CHAMP brand. CHAMP celebrates the success of being the number one brand in the world in conjunction with their 75th anniversary.
The most popular spike produced by CHAMP is the CHAMP Stingerâ?¢. With twice the durability of its nearest competitor, the distinctively black and yellow colored Stinger offers unparalleled traction through primary and secondary elements that provide gripping power, stability and support from the ground up. Recently, CHAMP developed the industry’s only hybrid spike, the Pro Stinger, worn by Geoff Ogilvy at The U.S. Open. This spike provides professional golfers with the security of a metal spike the comfort and many of the course-friendly qualities of non-metal spikes.
