BRENTWOOD, Tenn., – PrideSports® confirms the winners of the PGA Tour’s WM Phoenix Open and Korn Ferry Tour’s Astra Golf Championship relied on the company’s replaceable spikes.
The 25-year-old winner of the WM Phoenix Open, contested at TPC Scottsdale, utilized Cyclone spikes from SoftSpikes® in his NIKE Roshe G Tour shoes to get his first TOUR win in a dramatic playoff. Additionally, 30 of the top-37 finishers, including the runner-up, chose replaceable spikes over spikeless alternatives.
At the Astra Golf Championship on the Korn Ferry Tour, the victor relied on PINS Thintech EXP spikes in his Adidas Z Tour 21 shoes to capture the title at the Country Club de Bogota-Lagos in Bogota, Columbia.
“Week-after-week at the highest levels of golf we continue to see that the best in the world relay on our replaceable spikes to achieve the traction, stability and consistency needed to win,” 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.
