BRENTWOOD, Tenn., – The MacNeill Pride Group confirms winners of the PGA Tour’s Zurich Classic, European Tour’s Gran Canaria Lopesan Open and Korn Ferry Tour’s Veritex Bank Championship, all relied on the company’s Pulsar cleats from Softspikes®.
One of the most popular models on the market, Pulsar® recently received a Golf Digest Editor’s Choice Award in the “Best Cleats” category. Beyond the two Australian winners at the Zurich Classic, contested at TPC Louisiana outside of New Orleans, 24 of the top-34 finishers relied on replaceable cleats.
“Great players are incredibly discerning about their equipment and put a tremendous amount of emphasis on the importance of good stability and traction, which are only possible to achieve through replaceable spikes,” said John Hohman, senior vice president of marketing for PrideSports/MacNeill-Pride Group.
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.
