#1 Cleat On TOUR Utilized By Winners Of Shell Houston Open, Cap Cana Championship & Livermore Valley Wine Country Championship
Brentwood, Tennessee, April 7, 2008 … PrideSports, maker of Softspikes® golf cleats, the world’s best selling cleat brand, dominated this weekend’s professional golf events, with the Pulsar™ cleat, the #1 Cleat on TOUR, capturing all three men’s professional golf events, including the PGA Tour’s Shell Houston Open, the Champions Tour’s Cap Cana Championship and the Nationwide Tour’s Livermore Valley Wine Country Championship.
Additionally, the winner and 7 of the top 10 finishers at the Shell Houston Open, and 15 of the top 22 finishers at the Livermore Valley Wine Country Championship, utilized PrideSport’s overall stable of products. In fact, over 50% of the field at the Shell Houston Open wore Pulsar cleats, while PrideSports’ patented Fast-Twist™ Insert System was featured in more than 80% of the shoes worn by players on the field. The #1 insert system on the PGA TOUR, Fast-Twist is 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.
“Going three-for-three on the men’s combined professional tours marks a great weekend, especially when you add in the overall field usage totals,” said Joe Zeller, President, PrideSports. “Capturing a victory is also always easier when a majority of the leaderboard is wearing your product.”
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.
