For 3rd Straight Year, Softspikes Captures the WGC-CA Championship & Puerto Rico Open, While Dominating the Leaderboards
BRENTWOOD, Tenn., March 16, 2010 … Softspikes®, the world’s best-selling golf cleat brand and #1 Cleat on TOUR, secured another dual-win weekend on the PGA TOUR. Highlighted by a third straight victory at the WGC-CA Championship, over 60% of the plastic-wearing cleat field, along with 6 of the top 9 finishers, chose to wear the Company’s stable of products, including Pulsar®, the #1 Cleat on TOUR, and Black Widow® Tour™, golf’s first adjustable cleat, according to the Independent Darrell Survey,
Complementing its victory at the WGC-CA Championship, Softspikes also captured the PGA TOUR’s Puerto Rico Open for the third year in a row, as the winner and over 75% of the plastic wearing cleat field, including 9 of the top 10 finishers, all relied on Softspikes cleats to help them combat the less then perfect playing conditions that forced the tournament into Monday.
“It was another great weekend on the PGA TOUR for PrideSports as we dominated product usage at both events, including the prestigious WGC-CA Championship at Doral,” said John Hohman, Vice President of Marketing, PrideSports. “Adding the win at the Puerto Rico Open once again gives a dual-win weekend on the PGA TOUR, not to mention multiple consecutive wins at each event.”
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.
