#1 Brand on Tour Outfits 20 Top Golfers at The K-Club
Marlborough, MA-September 26, 2006- CHAMP Spikes, the number one brand on tour, led the field during Sunday’s singles matches at the K Club. Continuing its season-long success, CHAMP Spikes were worn by players in eight of the days’ 12 matches. As both the PGA and European PGA Tours claim many CHAMP faithful, it was no surprise to see CHAMP Spikes dotting the Palmer Course as golfers battled heavy rains on Sunday. Overall, 20 golfers wore CHAMP Spikes during Ryder Cup play.
"It is rewarding to have these players wearing our spikes when such superior traction is necessary," said Harris MacNeill, President of CHAMP. "As has been the case all year long on tour, our results are the best when the weather is at its worst and the playing conditions require the best traction and stability. It is a true testimony to the performance characteristics our spikes provide. With the Stingerâ?¢ leading the way, the CHAMP brand continues to be the number one brand across all tours."
Harsh rains fell on the final day of play but CHAMP Spikes makers of a variety of spikes were on the ground to combat the uncooperative weather. One of its top spikes on the European PGA Tour, the Cermec®, is the ultimate in metal spike technology with its highly abrasive and impact resistant ceramic ball that’s fused to a hardened tool steel spike. CHAMP also produces the industry’s only hybrid spike, the ProStinger® which saw great success both home and abroad this year.
U.S based MacNeill Engineering created the patented CHAMP Stinger® cleat which is available in revolutionary locking systems such as the CHAMP Q-LOK System®, used in all Nike®, Dexter®, and Hi-Tec® golf shoes; and the CHAMP TRI-LOK® system, which fits shoes by Foot Joy®, Adidas® and Etonic®.
CHAMP Spikes had a successful year as the winners of 23 of 35 PGA TOUR Titles and 13 of 21 on the European Tour, including all four of the PGA "Grand Slam" events.
