Brentwood, Tennessee, August 3, 2009 … Softspikes® golf cleats – the world’s best selling cleat brand – enjoyed a victorious weekend on all professional Tours, highlighted by another Major Championship victory, as the winner of the U.S. Senior Open and 76% of the plastic cleat field, including 40 of the top 49 finishers, donned the Company’s stable of products. Additionally, the winner of the Nationwide Tour’s Children’s Hospital Invitational wore Softspikes’ Black Widow® Tour™ cleats, golf’s first adjustable plastic cleat, and 33 of the top 37 finishers also wore Softspikes brand cleats.
Adding to the Company’s weekend tour wins, Softspikes dominated the weekend leaderboards with 68% of the plastic cleat field, including 25 of the top 37 finishers at the PGA TOUR’s Buick Open, and 61% of the plastic cleat field at the LPGA’s Women’s British Open, including over half of the top 40 finishers, all wore Softspikes brand cleats.
“We are excited that our stable of products enjoyed another successful weekend, highlighted by a Major Championship victory and cleat count dominance across all Tours,” said John Hohman, VP of Marketing, PrideSports. “We are especially thrilled to see our next generation Black Widow Tour cleat capture another victory, signifying the growing acceptance of golf’s first-ever adjustable cleat, as more players are choosing to wear Black Widow Tour week after week.”

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.
