Nashville, TN, May 16, 2007 â?¦ Led by the Fast-Twistâ?¢ Insert System and Softspikes® golf cleats, PrideSports, the #1 cleat company on TOUR, dominated The PLAYERS Championship with 8 of the Top 10 finishers utilizing the Company’s products and capturing $4.6 million in earnings for the week.
In addition to the leader board, an overwhelming majority of players in the field utilized PrideSports products, including Pulsarâ?¢ cleats – the #1 Cleat on TOUR, Pride Golf Tees – the #1 wooden golf tee on TOUR, Fast-Twistâ?¢ – the #1 cleat system on TOUR and Black Widowâ?¢ – the #1 selling golf cleat in the world.
PrideSports, whose dominance at the PLAYERS Championship continues a stellar PGA TOUR season in 2007, is now in its 11th consecutive year as the #1 golf cleat brand on the TOUR, according to the independent Darrell Survey. Additionally, PrideSports remains the #1 brand in worldwide plastic cleat sales at the combined retail, specialty, green grass and off-course channels.
"PGA TOUR dominance, combined with our penetration in all retail sales channels, continues to speak volumes for all of our products," said Joe Zeller, President, PrideSports. "We continually achieve PGA TOUR usage numbers that are in the 70-80% range, which is unmatched by any brand or company in golf."
PrideSports was formed in January 2003 following Pride Manufacturing Company’s purchase of Softspikes, Inc., and its sister company Trisport, Ltd. of England. This acquisition essentially formed the world’s premier golf accessories company, as Pride and Softspikes are the world’s leading golf tee and golf cleat lines, respectively. Today, Pride Sports is the world leader in the design and manufacture of cleats, spikes and receptacles for the entire golf footwear industry.
