Brentwood, Tennessee, July 20, 2009 … While dominating another weekend in professional golf, backed by a victory at the PGA TOUR’s U.S. Bank Championship, Softspikes® were on the shoes of 2 of the top 3 finishers including one of the game’s all-time greatest players as he once again trusted the Softspikes brand to endure 76-holes of historic golf in a quest for the Open Championship.
In addition to capturing the field at the U.S. Bank Championship, where 70% of the players wore Softspikes brand cleats, 30 of the top 41 players donned Softspikes cleats, including Pulsar®, the #1 Cleat on Tour, and the new Black Widow® Tour™, golf’s first adjustable plastic cleat.
“While we are thrilled to have captured another PGA TOUR event, with complete field dominance at the U.S. Bank Championship, we are also excited to be a part of another historical Open Championship, especially as Softspikes were on the shoes of the player who gave the golf world its most memorable event of the year,” said John Hohman, VP of Marketing, PrideSports.
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.
