#1 Brand on Tour has Strong Win going into PGA Tour Playoffs
Marlborough, MA-August 18th, 2008 – CHAMP Spikes, the #1 Brand on Tour, reports the winner of this weekend’s Wyndham Championship utilized CHAMP’s Scorpion Stinger Spikes™ and patented Q-LOK Fastening System.
At Sedgefield Country Club, the champion, with assistance from CHAMP Spikes’ Q-LOK System, shot a 21-under 259 for a two stroke victory over his nearest competitor. The win is his first PGA Tour victory in two years.
CHAMP was the spike of choice this weekend as two of the top three finishers, relied on CHAMP’s Spikes. Additionally, an astounding 76% of the players who chose CHAMP switched from the original spikes that came in their shoes.
The CHAMP Q-LOK System is the quickest and most reliable fastening system on the market today. The Q-LOK System, currently utilized by Nike, Puma, Hi-Tec and ECCO is the only threadless fastening system. All Q-LOK spikes can be secured with a simple ¼ turn clockwise and removed with a ¼ turn counter clockwise. CHAMP’s new and improved Stinger spike provides more traction and stability to golfers looking for superior all-around performance.
“What a great way to finish off the regular season,” said Harris MacNeill, President of CHAMP. “Our new and improved spikes have been getting a lot of positive response from the players as they continue to ask for CHAMP Spikes week after week. With this being our 25th win of the season it further proves our title as the #1 Brand on Tour.”
