#1 Cleat on Tour Captures Victories at the Nationwide Tour’s Albertsons Boise Open & Champions Tour’s Greater Hickory Classic
Brentwood, Tennessee, September 21, 2009 … Softspikes® golf cleats, the world’s best selling cleat brand and Pulsar® cleats, the #1 Cleat on Tour, captured dual wins in professional golf with exciting victories at the Nationwide Tour’s Albertsons Boise Open, and the Champions Tour’s Greater Hickory Classic.
Adding to the Company’s weekend tour wins, Softspikes and PrideSports once again dominated the weekend leaderboards, with 37 of the top 38 finishers at the Nationwide Tour’s Albertsons Boise Open, and 34 of the top 36 finishers at the Champions Tour’s Greater Hickory Classic, all utilizing the Company’s products. Further, 50% of the plastic cleat field at the LPGA’s Samsung World Championship also donned Softspikes brand cleats.
“We are excited that Pulsar cleats, our longstanding #1 Cleat on Tour, led Softspikes to another successful weekend, highlighted by two victories and thorough field dominance,” said John Hohman, VP of Marketing, PrideSports. “Professional golfers across all tours know they are getting the best technology available when they use the Softspikes brand cleats on their shoes.”
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.
