The Official Spike and Tee of the Long Drivers of America (LDA), CHAMP outfitted Burke with its popular ScorpionSTINGER™ cleats and performance-boosting Zarma FLYtee™. The latter features a six-pronged head and shallow cup to reduce friction at impact for increased distance and accuracy. Burke blasted a 427-yard shot to earn his first RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship.
“LDA athletes, with the fastest swings of any golfers, count on our spikes and FLYtees for increased traction and maximum distance,” says Harris MacNeill, President and CEO of CHAMP/MacNeill Engineering Worldwide. “CHAMP products have proven to enhance performance for all players, whether providing a solid base or clearing a free path for crisp contact off the tee.”
Contested for the first time at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the event was broadcast live on Golf Channel. Encore telecasts will air throughout November and December.
In addition to the open division champion using CHAMP equipment for the third straight year, winners in the Grand Champions, Ladies, Legends, Masters, Seniors and Super Seniors categories also trusted CHAMP spikes and FLYtees.
