6 Of The Top 10 Finishers At The Honda Classic Wore Softspikes-Brand Cleats; PrideSports? Products Capture 10th Consecutive PGA TOUR Event
Brentwood, Tennessee, March 3, 2008 … PrideSports, maker of Softspikes® golf cleats, the world’s best selling cleat brand, captured the PGA TOUR’s Honda Classic, as the winner and 6 of the top 10 elite finishers at this week’s TOUR event wore Softspikes-brand cleats, including the Pulsar™ and Black Widow™ models.
Additionally, more then 60% of the field at the Honda Classic utilized the Softspikes-brand, while PrideSports’ patented Fast-Twist™ Insert System was featured in 90% of the shoes worn by players during the Honda Classic. This success marks the 10th consecutive week on the PGA TOUR where PrideSports’ stable of products captured a majority of the field.
“On the heels of our success on the west coast, we are excited to start the PGA TOUR’s Florida swing with a victory and another week of field domination,” said Joe Zeller, President, PrideSports.
In tandem with the Softspikes’ brand, Fast-Twist, the #1 insert system on the PGA TOUR, continues to be the overwhelming choice by golf footwear manufacturers, as 8 out of the top 10 leading companies utilize the revolutionary golf cleat insert system as original equipment, including market leader FootJoy, as well as adidas, Bite, Bridgestone, Callaway, Etonic and Oakley.
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.
