Brentwood, Tennessee, January 19, 2009 … PrideSports, maker of Softspikes® golf cleats, the world’s best selling cleat brand, had another successful weekend in men’s professional golf as 7 of the top 9 finishers at the 2009 Sony Open, utilized PrideSports products, including the Pulsar™ and Black Widow™ models.
Additionally, PrideSports captured the overall cleat field as over 65% of the players at the PGA TOUR’s Sony Open that chose to wear plastic or metal cleats wore PrideSports products, including Softspikes brand cleats – the #1 Cleat on TOUR.
“Two weeks and two events with complete field domination. That’s what we strive for every week on TOUR,” said Joe Zeller, President, PrideSports. “2009 is off to a great start for PrideSports and Softspikes, and we can’t wait for the next event to start.”
In addition to the Company’s cleat domination, PrideSports’ patented Fast-Twist™ Insert System was featured in more than 75% of the shoes worn by players during the Sony Open. 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.
