BRENTWOOD, Tenn., August 4, 2010 … With 57 Major Championship victories to date, Softspikes®, the world’s best-selling golf cleat brand and maker of the #1 Cleat on TOUR, achieved another milestone this weekend, as the winner of the Greenbrier Classic and 5th golfer in PGA TOUR history to shoot 59, donned Softspikes. Fittingly, both TOUR players that shot magical rounds of 59 in 2010 wore Softspikes.
According to the Independent Darrell Survey, Softspikes’ stable of products, including Pulsar®, the #1 Cleat on TOUR and Black Widow® Tour™, golf’s first adjustable cleat, continue to dominate the leaderboards across all professional tours on a weekly basis.
“Having been accomplished only five times in PGA TOUR history, 59 is a magical number on the golf course, so it’s very gratifying that both golfers who made history in 2010 were outfitted in Softspikes,” said John Hohman, Vice President of Marketing, PrideSports. “The weekly results on TOUR continue to validate the performance characteristics of our stable of products.”
Backed by the Company’s storied heritage and through a commitment to innovation and advanced technology, Softspikes’ stable of cleats are designed with dynamic properties that deliver superior traction, durability and comfort, enabling golfers of all skill levels to maximize their performance. Through this unwavering commitment to innovation, Softspikes has achieved another significant milestone.
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.
