Winner of Nationwide Tour’s Bank of America Open and Winner of Champion Tour’s Principal Charity Classic Wore Pulsar? Cleats; PrideSports Dominates Leaderboard at The Memorial
Brentwood, Tennessee, June 3, 2008 … PrideSports, maker of Softspikes® golf cleats – the world’s best selling cleat brand, and Fast-Twist™ – the #1 insert system on the PGA TOUR, ruled the leaderboards again this weekend on the men’s professional golf tours, as the winner of both the Nationwide Bank of America Open and the winner of the Champion’s Principal Charity Classic both wore Pulsar™ cleats, the #1 Cleat on Tour.
In addition, on the PGA TOUR, 18 of the Top 26 finishers at The Memorial utilized PrideSports products, with a majority wearing Softspikes brand cleats, including the Pulsar™ and Black Widow™ models.
“The Pulsar cleat continues to dominate the winner’s circle in men’s professional golf, as the game’s best players clearly see the benefits of Softspikes’ proprietary Dynamic Cleat Technology,” said Joe Zeller, President, PrideSports. “In addition to some great wins this week, we are very pleased at the showing of PrideSports’ products overall, as so many of the top finishers at the prestigious The Memorial chose our cleats.”
In addition to the Company’s plastic cleat domination, PrideSports patented Fast-Twist™ Insert System was featured in more than 80% of the shoes worn by players during The Memorial. 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.
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.
