PrideSports Dominates Leaderboards on All Professional Tours; Black Widow Tour, Golf’s First Ever Adjustable Cleat, Captures Victories at Greenbrier Classic and Nationwide Tour Cox Classic
BRENTWOOD, Tenn., August 2, 2010 … Highlighted by Major Championship victories 56 & 57, and the historic win at the PGA TOUR’s Greenbrier Classic, Softspikes®, the world’s best-selling golf cleat brand and maker of the #1 Cleat on TOUR, captured a weekend sweep across all professional golf tours. Black Widow® Tour™, golf’s first-ever adjustable cleat, enjoyed a multi-win weekend, with victories on the PGA TOUR and The Nationwide Tour’s Cox Classic.
According to the Independent Darrell Survey, the historic winner and 73% of the plastic cleat field at the PGA TOUR’s Greenbrier Classic donned Softspikes products, while the winner of the U.S. Senior Open and the Women’s British Open captured their Major Championship victories wearing Softspikes brand products. To further reinforce a dominating weekend on all professional tours, 20 of the top 32 finishers at the U.S. Senior Open; 7 of the top 9 finishers at the Women’s British Open; and 25 of the top 34 finishers at the Nationwide Tour’s Cox Classic donned PrideSports products including Pulsar®, the #1 Cleat on TOUR and Black Widow® Tour™, golf’s first adjustable cleat.
“This was a defining weekend for Softspikes, as history was made on Sunday afternoon, and once again, Softspikes played a role,” said John Hohman, Vice President of Marketing, PrideSports. “With an historic victory on TOUR, two Major Championship wins and cleat count domination on all professional tours, the best golfers in the world continue to choose our stable of products, further validating their effectiveness.”
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.
