BRENTWOOD, Tenn., March 9, 2010 … For the third consecutive year, Softspikes®, the #1 Cleat on TOUR and the world’s best-selling golf cleat brand, has captured the PGA TOUR’s Honda Classic, as the winner, 11 of the top 13 finishers and over 70% of the plastic cleat field all wore Softspikes products, according to the Independent Darrell Survey.
In other Tour news, Softspikes captured the Nationwide Tour’s Pacific Rubiales Bogota Open presented by Samsung, as the winner and 32 of the top 40 finishers wore Softspikes’ stable of products, including Pulsar®, the #1 Cleat on TOUR and Black Widow® Tour™, golf’s first adjustable cleat.
“We’re very pleased with another outstanding weekend on Tour, capturing not only dual wins, but also showing great field and leaderboard dominance,” said John Hohman, Vice President of Marketing, PrideSports. “The Honda Classic, like many stops on the PGA TOUR, has become an annual showcase event for Softspikes, as our brand is atop the leaderboard year after year.”
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.
