PrideSports Cleats Win First Event of 2009 Continuing the Company’s Success as the #1 Plastic Cleat Brand on the PGA TOUR
Brentwood, Tennessee, January 12, 2009 … PrideSports, maker of Softspikes® golf cleats, the world’s best selling cleat brand, captured the PGA TOUR’s first event of 2009, as the winner of the Mercedes-Benz Championship wore PrideSports cleats. In addition to the victory, 2009 marks the 13th consecutive year that PrideSports plastic cleats will start the season as the #1 brand on the PGA TOUR.
Furthermore, an impressive 20 out of 33 players at the Mercedes-Benz Championship utilized the Company’s stable of products including Pulsar™, the #1 Cleat on TOUR, and Black Widow™, the world’s #1 selling golf cleat model.
“13 straight years as #1 on TOUR is a remarkable accomplishment, eclipsed only by the continued popularity among golfers wearing our products throughout the world,” said Joe Zeller, President, PrideSports. “We are thrilled that both professionals and amateurs overwhelmingly choose our products, year after year.”
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.
