Nashville, TN, June 11, 2007 â?¦ Pride Sports — the #1 cleat company on TOUR — captured wins on both the PGA TOUR and the Champions Tour this past weekend. Led by the Fast-Twistâ?¢ Insert System and Softspikes®-brand golf cleats, the winner and 9 out the top 10 finishers in the Stanford St. Jude Championship utilized PrideSports’ products, as did the winner of the Champions Tour’s Principal Charity Classic.
In addition to the leader board, more than three-quarters of the field at the Stanford St. Jude Championship 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. This week’s victory also gives PrideSports wins in 17 out of 23 PGA TOUR events in 2007.
"We’re very excited to once again capture dual wins on Tour, as well as dominate the leader board," said Joe Zeller, President, PrideSports. "Heading into the U.S. Open, we are extremely pleased with the combined performance of our brands so far this year, and we expect an even stronger second half to the 2007 professional golf season."
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.
