Brentwood, Tennessee, January 26, 2009 … PrideSports, maker of Softspikes® golf cleats, the world’s best selling cleat brand, had another victorious weekend in professional golf as 75% of the plastic and metal wearing cleat field, including an impressive 22 of the top 34 finishers at the PGA TOUR’s Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, utilized the Company’s stable of products.
In addition to its dominance on the PGA TOUR, PrideSports swept the top 3 spots at the Champions Tour’s Mitsubishi Electric Championship where the 2nd and 3rd place finishers wore the Company’s Softspikes Pulsar™ cleats, the #1 Cleat on TOUR.
“As we head to Orlando for the 2009 PGA Show, our momentum on TOUR is as strong as ever,” said Joe Zeller, President, PrideSports. “We are excited to continue providing the golf industry with a stable of cleats that are as dominant on TOUR as any product category in the game today.”
In addition to the Company’s cleat domination, PrideSports’ patented Fast-Twist™ Insert System was featured in nearly 85% of the shoes worn by players during the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic. 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.
