BRENTWOOD, Tenn., July 19, 2010 … Softspikes®, the world’s best-selling golf cleat brand and maker of the #1 Cleat on TOUR, while dominating the leaderboard at the Open Championship with 7 of the top 9 plastic finishers, enjoyed another stellar weekend in professional golf, with wins and plastic cleat field victories at the PGA TOUR’s Reno-Tahoe Open and Nationwide Tour’s Chiquita Classic.
Highlighting a weekend of success on Tour, 65% of the plastic cleat field at the PGA TOUR’s Reno-Tahoe Open wore Softspikes products, led by the winner and 7 of the top 10 finishers. Additionally, while winning the Nationwide Tour’s Chiquita Classic, 31 of the top 37 finishers donned Softspikes, completing a weekend of leaderboard domination for the brand overall.
“Wins are great, but dominating the leaderboard at a major, as well two other events in the same weekend, speaks volumes about Softspikes products,” said John Hohman, Vice President of Marketing, PrideSports. “Our consistent success each week and across all professional tours is terrific and we expect to keep this momentum going throughout the remainder of the golf season.”
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.
