Brentwood, Tenn., – Wearing the game’s most used spike, Pulsar, in his FootJoy Premier Series golf shoes, the winner of the Charles Schwab Challenge secured his second PGA Tour title in the space of a month.
In a week where 86% of the field equipped their golf shoes with replaceable traction, it was no surprise to see, that come the end of play on Sunday, 31 of the top 35 finishers at Colonial Country Club were wearing spikes. The win brings up the 22nd time in the last 24 PGA Tour events that players benefitting from wearing spikes in their golf shoes have gone on to claim the victory.
Elsewhere in the world of professional golf, the winner of The Soudal Open on The DP World Tour was wearing Silver Tornado spikes in his Puma golf shoes. He shot a final round 62 and birdied the second playoff hole to claim his first tour title. At the MEXICO Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba, the winner trusted Pulsar spikes in her New Balance golf shoes en-route to a first tour LPGA title.
“It’s been quite a month for the winner of the Charles Schwab Challenge, and we congratulate him on claiming a first solo PGA Tour title, extending our winning stretch to 22 victories in the past 24 events.” commented Joe Henderson, President, Softspikes.
Tour players change grips and traction regularly based on course conditions, but amateur golfers rarely think about the impact wearing spikes has on consistency and distance. To achieve optimal performance benefits, golfers should be switching up their spikes every 15 rounds.
