Softspikes Dominates Cleat Count at 89th PGA Championship; 9 Out Of Top 10 Players Used PrideSports’ Products During Final Major of 2007
Nashville, TN, August 13, 2007 â?¦ The 89th PGA Championship at Southern Hills marked the 44th straight Major Championship where the majority of the field wore Softspikes-brand cleats, as nearly two-thirds of the players wearing plastic cleats chose the #1 cleat brand on TOUR.
Since the Darrell Survey began tracking cleat surveys in 1996, PrideSports products, including its Softspikes-brand, have led the field in usage at every major championship in golf.
In addition to Softspikes’ success, 9 out of the top 10 finishers in the PGA Championship utilized PrideSports’ products. 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 #1 selling golf cleat in the world.
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.
