Marlborough, MA-June 24th, 2008- CHAMP Spikes, the number one brand on Tour, reveled in victory once again as the winner of the Travelers Championship wore CHAMP while conquering the harsh elements.
As winds picked up and storms rolled in, CHAMP’s Pro Stinger™ was at its best, providing unsurpassed traction for the winner. The Pro Stinger, the industry’s only hybrid spike, combines the comfort and cushion of a plastic spike and the firm grip of a traditional metal spike.
The champion shot a career-best 262 while wearing shoes utilizing CHAMP’s patented Q-LOK fastening system. Q-LOK, patented by CHAMP is the fastening system of choice for Nike, Hi-Tec and Ecco shoes; it is the quickest and easiest non-threaded fastening system on the market.
“This week’s victory really reflects why we are the leading brand on Tour,” said Harris MacNeill, President of CHAMP. “Each win is a new milestone and to have our patented technology at the top of the leaderboard is really special.”
In Pittsford, New York at the Wegmans Championship, CHAMP dominated across Sunday’s leaderboard as an astounding eight out of the top ten finishers wore CHAMP brand spikes to help finish out the weekend.
In 2008, CHAMP Spikes have been worn by the winners of 18 of 26 PGA events, nine of 17 LGPA events and all of the events on the Duramed FUTURES Tour.
