8 Out Of Top 10 Players At The Open Championship Utilized PrideSports’ Products; 43rd Consecutive Major That Softspikes-Brand Led The Field In Golf Cleat Usage
Nashville, TN, July 23, 2007 â?¦ PrideSports – maker of Softspikes® and the #1 cleat company on TOUR — dominated the field this past weekend at The Open Championship at Carnoustie Golf Links, Carnoustie, Scotland, marking the 43rd consecutive major championship that the Company, including its Softspikes-brand, has led the field in golf cleat usage.
In addition to its cleat dominance and record streak, which has been tracked by the Darrell Survey since 1996, 8 out of the top 10 finishers utilized PrideSports’ products at The Open Championship.
PrideSports’ products include 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 best selling golf cleat in the world.
"43 consecutive Majors is an amazing feat, and we look forward to completing the 2007 Grand Slam next month with a win at the PGA Championship," said Joe Zeller, President, PrideSports. "It is extremely rewarding to see our products consistently dominate the fields at both major championships and in regular TOUR competition."
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, PrideSports is the world leader in the design and manufacture of cleats, spikes and receptacles for the entire golf footwear industry.
