Brentwood, Tenn. – A record-breaking performance from the winner of The Sentry, wearing Softspikes, ensured that the No.1 spike on Tour teed off 2025 in style with another victory for players choosing to compete in replaceable spikes at the highest-level of the game.
Shooting rounds of 65, 65, 62 and 65 to reach 35 under-par, the 32-year-old Japanese superstar broke the PGA Tour’s record to par for 72 holes and recorded his 11th career win.
The World No.5, from Japan becomes the 40th PGA Tour winner to do so wearing spikes in the past 43 events. In total, 35 of the 43 finishers in the elite field at The Sentry selected to compete in spikes vs spikeless.
“It’s always fantastic to start a new year with a win and we congratulate the winner on his record-breaking performance in Hawaii,” 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.
