#1 cleat on tour captures plastic cleat field at the PGA Tour’s Valero Texas Open; Softspikes® captures individual victories at the Nationwide Tour’s BMW Charity Pro-Am and at the LPGA tour’s Bell Micro LPGA Classic
BRENTWOOD, Tenn., May 17, 2010 … Softspikes®, the world’s best-selling golf cleat brand and maker of the #1 Cleat on TOUR, captured the plastic cleat field this weekend at the PGA TOUR’s Valero Texas Open, as 69% of the players wore Softspikes. Additionally, Softspikes captured victories at the Nationwide Tour’s BMW Charity Pro-Am and the LPGA Tour’s Bell Micro LPGA Classic, respectively, according to the Independent Darrell Survey.
As part of another stellar weekend on the PGA TOUR, Softspikes’ popular Pulsar® model, the #1 Cleat on TOUR, outdistanced the entire plastic cleat line of Softspikes’ closest competitor in total player usage.
“Our popular Pulsar cleat model led the way as Softspikes enjoyed another dominating weekend on the professional tours,” said John Hohman, Vice President of Marketing, PrideSports. “We are very happy with the results from this weekend and are glad to see some of the world’s best players continue to choose our arsenal of products.”
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.
