Softspikes Pulsar?, The #1 Cleat On TOUR, Leads PrideSports Stable Of Products In Dominating Use Among Today’s Stars On PGA TOUR & Future Stars On Nationwide Tour
Brentwood, Tennessee, August 15, 2008 … PrideSports, maker of Softspikes® cleats, the #1 cleat brand on TOUR, announced that opening round cleat usage at the Nationwide Tour’s Xerox Classic was nearly 100%, as the future stars of the PGA TOUR overwhelmingly chose PrideSports’ stable of products, including Pulsar™, the #1 Cleat on TOUR, and Black Widow™, the world’s #1 selling golf cleat model. In addition, 65% of the field at the PGA TOUR’s Wyndham Championship chose PrideSports products.
The early round success for PrideSports on TOUR comes on the heels of last week’s PGA TOUR action, where nearly 70% of the elite PGA Championship field, including 3 of the top 5 finishers, utilized PrideSports products, marking the 48th straight major victory for the Company and the Softspikes brand.
“We have nearly the entire field at the Nationwide Tour’s Xerox Classic wearing our cleats, which is truly amazing,” said Joe Zeller, President, PrideSports. “With almost three quarters of PGA TOUR players regularly wearing our products, it is great to know that tomorrow’s stars have such a strong affinity for our brand, and the performance qualities of Softspikes and PrideSports products.”
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.
