SIX FOR SIX FOR CLEATED FOOTWEAR WINS ON ALL PROFESSIONAL TOURS
It was another clean sweep for players wearing cleated footwear on professional tours across the world over the weekend. The winners in every event chose to wear footwear featuring replaceable cleat technology over spikeless tennis shoes.
“It’s always a nice affirmation of the value of our cleats when someone wins at the highest level,” said John Hohman, senior vice president of marketing for PrideSports®. “But it’s even more gratifying when ALL of the winners choose to wear cleats. This was a great weekend for us and our products and just adds further credibility to the importance of traction and stability in golf.”
Winners this week included:
- The Memorial (PGA TOUR) – FootJoy® Dryjoy shoes with Softspikes® Cyclone Tour Lock® cleats
- Women’s US Open Championship – Nike® Lunar shoes with Champ PiviX cleats
