BRENTWOOD, Tenn., – PrideSports® confirms the winner of the THE PLAYERS Championship relied on a combination of the company’s Pulsar® and Pro Stinger® spikes – in a limited-edition golden color – in his FootJoy shoes.
Capturing his fifth Tour title, and second win of 2022, the 28-year-old Australian secured a one-shot victory at TPC Sawgrass outside of Jacksonville, FL. Weather conditions were difficult throughout the week, making the traction and stability provided by replaceable spikes essential to scoring. Beyond the winner, 34 of the top-40 finishers chose replaceable spikes over spikeless alternatives.
“THE PLAYERS is an annual showcase of the top golfers in the world, and it speaks volumes that so many of the best performers chose our spikes to keep them balanced and hitting great shots throughout the week,” said Joe Henderson, President of PrideSports.
Replacement Softspikes® and CHAMP® cleats can be purchased in the golf section of most large retailers, sporting goods stores, golf specialty and golf course pro shops across the country. Cleats can also be purchased online from any of these locations, your favorite online store or directly from www.golfspikes.com.
PrideSports is the undisputed leader in the golf cleat segment with its CHAMP® and Softspikes® brands. The company recommends golfers change their cleats every six to eight months – or even more frequently based on use – to ensure golfers get the maximum performance out of their footwear.
CHAMP’s Helix®, Zarma Tour® and Stinger® cleats, as well as Softspikes’ Pivix®, Pulsar®, Silver Tornado™ and Stealth® cleats, dominate the OEM and secondary market in terms of performance and sales. More information can be found at www.champspikes.com and www.Softspikes.com.
