BRENTWOOD, Tenn., June 7, 2010 … Softspikes®, the world’s best-selling golf cleat brand and maker of the #1 Cleat on TOUR, captured weekend victories in the U.S. and abroad, highlighted by a win and 67% of the plastic cleat field at the PGA TOUR’s Memorial Tournament presented by Morgan Stanley.
Additionally, and continuing the dominance of Softspikes cleat models, golf’s best selling cleat of all-time, BLACK WIDOW®, celebrated a victory on the European Tour’s Celtic Manor Wales Open, which was complemented by a win for PULSAR® at the Nationwide Tour’s Melwood Prince George’s County Open.

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.
