Softspikes Pulsar® Claims Victory & Cleat Fields with Dramatic Extra Hole Finish at The PGA TOUR’s Canadian Open and Nationwide Tour’s Cox Classic; #1 Cleat on Tour Also Captures Cleat Field at Prestigious Senior British Open
Brentwood, Tennessee, July 27, 2009 … From Omaha, Nebraska to the soggy conditions in Oakville, Ontario and across the pond to Berkshire, England, Softspikes® golf cleats – the world’s best selling cleat brand – dominated the weekend leaderboards in professional golf, capturing victories and overall plastic cleat fields at both the PGA TOUR’s Canadian Open and the Nationwide Tour’s Cox Classic. Rounding out its weekend International sweep, the Softspikes brand won the cleat field at the Champions Tour’s prestigious Senior British Open.
With the respective winners wearing Pulsar®, the #1 Cleat on Tour, Softspikes ruled the fields and leaderboards, as 70% of the plastic cleat field at the PGA TOUR’s Canadian Open battled the elements donning the world’s best selling cleat brand. Additionally, 35 of the top 37 finishers at the Nationwide Tour’s Cox Classic and 80% of the entire field including 20 of the top 30 finishers at the Senior British Open wore Softspikes cleats, including Pulsar® and Black Widow® Tour™ — golf’s first adjustable plastic cleat.
“This was truly a weekend of International success for Softspikes, as our strong presence across all tours proves that players of every level prefer our cleats over the competition,” said John Hohman, VP of Marketing, PrideSports. “Wins and field dominance is something we strive for week after week as our arsenal of products continue to help players garner the best results.”
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.
