Softspikes® makes history with player’s first PGA victory and new LPGA world No. 1 ranking
BRENTWOOD, Tenn., March 19, 2013 … Softspikes®/PrideSports, the world’s best-selling golf cleat brand and maker of the #1 Cleat in Golf, shined as the Tampa Bay Championship Winner gained his first PGA Tour win. Softspikes’ Cyclone cleat proved its status once again by landing on more than 30 players’ shoes at Innisbrook Resort last weekend.
The Tampa Bay Championship was a big weekend for Softspikes®/PrideSports cleats. Beyond the winner, 10 of the Top 14 finishers also chose the trusted brand. When everything counts for the win, it’s clear that most Pros choose Softspikes cleats for the trusted performance benefits. With flexing leg technology, Softspikes cleats are able to adapt to any terrain, offering the player ultimate control. Of all cleat options on the market, Softspikes won majority during the tournament.
More Firsts were made at the LPGA RR Donnelly Founders Cup, where the winner sported Sofstpikes’ Pulsar cleats. Ranking World No.1 after the tournament, this was a monumental win in Phoenix. As the favorite for many LPGA players, the Pulsar golf cleat offers ultimate flexibility to offer maximum comfort.
“The rotated legs of Cyclone made it an instant success when we introduced the black/gold version in 2011,” said John Hohman, Vice President of Marketing, PrideSports. “We believe that golfers of all levels benefit from a performance-based cleat, and appreciate the technology and engineering efforts we put behind each design.”
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.
