BRENTWOOD, Tenn., June 1, 2010 … Softspikes®, the world’s best-selling golf cleat brand and maker of the #1 Cleat on TOUR, captured dual victories this weekend in professional golf, as the winners of the 71st U.S. Senior PGA Championship and the HSBC LPGA Brasil Cup 2010 wore the Softspikes-brand. Additionally, Softspikes captured the plastic cleat field at the PGA TOUR’s Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial, with 65% player usage, including 8 of the top 10 finishers.
“We are thrilled to have had another successful weekend on tour, and especially to capture another major championship,” said John Hohman, Vice President of Marketing, PrideSports. “Every time we secure a victory in a golf major, it further solidifies the performance characteristics of our 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.
