Golf’s First Adjustable Cleat Continues Success On Professional Tours With 1st, 2nd And 3rd Place Finishes On Nationwide Tour; Softspikes® Also Captures Plastic Cleat Field At PGA TOUR’s HP Byron Nelson Championship
BRENTWOOD, Tenn., May 24, 2010 … Softspikes®, the world’s best-selling golf cleat brand and maker of the #1 Cleat on TOUR, backed by golf’s hottest new cleat, BLACK WIDOW® TOUR™, not only captured a victory on the Nationwide Tour at The Rex Hospital Open, but also grabbed 2nd and 3rd place, while the Softspikes brand was worn by 38 of the top 42 finishers overall.
As part of another stellar weekend in professional golf, 67% of the plastic cleat field at the PGA TOUR’s HP Byron Nelson Championship chose Softspikes, while the popular Pulsar® model was worn by the runner-up at the LPGA Sybase Match Play Championship.
“We are very pleased that our surging new cleat, BLACK WIDOW TOUR, was so dominant on the Nationwide Tour this weekend,” said John Hohman, Vice President of Marketing, PrideSports. “While the Softspikes arsenal continues its domination in 2010 across all professional tours, we are extremely pleased with the success of golf’s first adjustable cleat.”
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.
