Softspikes/PrideSports wins WGC-HSBC, Charles Schwab Cup and LPGA Mizuno Classic
BRENTWOOD, Tenn., November 7, 2011 … Softspikes®/PrideSports, the world’s best-selling golf cleat brand and maker of the #1 Cleat in Golf, took the title at the WGC HSBC Championship with the new PINS insert system. The Charles Schwab Cup was once again won by Softspikes cleats, marking the brand’s 8th victory of the 10 times the event has been played. On the LPGA Tour, Softspikes/PrideSports cleats were worn by 4 of the Top 5 players, including the winner.
Cyclone, Softspikes’ newest cleat, claimed its 15th win this season at the Charles Schwab Cup. In its first year on Tour, Cyclone has seen over 70 Top 5 and over 255 Top 30 finishes. While the numbers speak for themselves, Cyclone has surpassed any other Softspikes cleat for most successful launch.
“As the 2011 Tour season wraps up, we continue to be honored by the increasing number of players choosing our cleats,” said John Hohman, Vice President of Marketing, PrideSports. “Cyclone’s first year in play surpassed our expectations and we are excited to see the brand continue to grow.”
Softspikes’ patented Dynamic Cleat Technology allows its cleats to be responsive to all terrains – Tee Boxes, Fairways, Roughs, Greens, etc – providing confidence on every swing of the club. In other words, longer drives, better iron shots and lower scores. For more information on Softspikes, please visit www.softspikes.com.
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.
