(MARLBOROUGH, MA) – CHAMP/MacNeill Engineering Worldwide – The World Leader in Sport Cleat Technology® and maker of innovative CHAMP spikes, high-performance golf tees and accessories – confirms its renowned spikes were used by the winners of both the Northern Trust Open and the Africa Open.
Capturing his fifth PGA Tour title, the winner of the Northern Trust relied on the ProStinger® model’s unique blend of metal and plastic traction technology at historic Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California. On the European Tour, the first-time victor depended on the ScorpionSTINGER™ at East London Golf Club in South Africa, where seven of the top-10 finishers wore CHAMP cleats.
“Our spikes continue to be the choice of champions around the globe, as they provide the ultimate in traction, comfort and stability,” says Harris MacNeill, President and CEO of CHAMP/MacNeill Engineering Worldwide. “Regardless of weather or turf conditions, CHAMP spikes provide the perfect platform for a repeatable golf swing.”
A pioneer in spike technology, CHAMP is The #1 Brand on Tour. Its popular models – including the ScorpionSTINGER™, and Zarma® – provided superior traction and stability to 32 of golf’s last 44 major championship winners.
Beyond the cleat category, the company offers a wide range of products, including the Zarma FLYtee™ series and CGRIPS line, which showcases a variety of groundbreaking features never before seen in the industry.
Drawing from MacNeill Engineering’s unrivalled 80-plus year heritage, the FLYtee line has quickly become one of the most-used tees by leading professionals worldwide. The new FLYteePRO model is infused with a specially-engineered polymer that makes it nearly indestructible. Like its predecessors, the PRO model showcases a six-pronged head and shallow cup to reduce friction at impact, promoting longer and straighter drives.
Designed with a strong emphasis on technical innovation and game-improving performance, five CHAMP grip models will be available to consumers in early 2014. The new collection has gained a loyal following among Tour players, who recognize the superior feel, durability and performance characteristics inherent to each line.
