PrideSports Exceeds 80% Usage By Top 30 Finishers On All Three Tours
Brentwood, Tennessee, May 19, 2008 … PrideSports, maker of Softspikes Pulsar™ and Black Widow™ cleats, the world’s leading golf cleat brands, today announced another stellar weekend in men’s professional golf, as more than 80% of the Top 30 finishers at the PGA TOUR AT&T Classic, the Champions Tour Regions Charity Classic and the Nationwide Tour BMW Charity Pro-Am, wore its products.
In fact, at the AT&T Classic an unprecedented 66 players in the field wore Pulsar cleats, the #1 cleat on the PGA TOUR, while the Softspikes brand overall outdistanced the competition by a more than 3-1 ratio.
“The PGA TOUR continues to exceed our expectations with players wearing Softspikes-brand cleats, and PrideSports products overall,” said Joe Zeller, President, PrideSports. In addition to the PGA TOUR, our footprint on both the Champions and Nationwide Tours is unmatched, as we dominate the leaderboards on a weekly basis.”
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.
