PrideSports Captures 55% Of The Elite Field & 49th Straight Major Championship
Brentwood, Tennessee, April 13, 2009 … PrideSports, maker of Softspikes® golf cleats, the world’s best selling cleat, dominated the cleat count at this weekend’s 2009 Master’s Tournament as 55% of the elite field, including 6 of the Top 13 finishers, utilized PrideSports products, marking the 49th straight major victory for the Company and the Softspikes brand.
“We are extremely proud of this longstanding record of product domination in Majors,” said Joe Zeller, President, PrideSports. “Capturing the cleat field once again signifies that the best players on TOUR consistently trust the performance benefits of Softspikes and PrideSports products.”
In addition to the Company’s cleat domination, PrideSports’ patented Fast-Twist® Insert System was featured in over 70% of the shoes worn by players during The 2009 Masters. 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.
