Brentwood, Tennessee, April 6, 2009 … PrideSports, maker of Softspikes® golf cleats – the world’s best selling cleat brand, and Fast-Twist® – the #1 insert system on the PGA TOUR, dominated the leaderboard at the PGA TOUR’s Shell Houston Open, as 9 of the top 11 finishers chose PrideSports products. In addition, PrideSports products continue to be the overwhelming choice for TOUR players, as 77% of the plastic-cleat wearing field chose PrideSports, while only 23% chose the nearest competitor.
“2009 is shaping up to be another stellar season for PrideSports,” said Joe Zeller, President, PrideSports. “Week-in and week-out, TOUR players consistently choose our plastic cleats over the competitor’s product, which speaks volumes to the comfort, traction, and performance that our products provide.”
In related news, PrideSports, led by the Softspikes brand, captured a victory at the Nationwide Tour’s Stonebrae Classic, as the winner and 29 of the top 32 finishers wore 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.
