Brentwood, Tenn. – Softspikes has continued its flawless run on the PGA TOUR in 2026, with the winner of the Charles Schwab Challenge becoming the 21st consecutive PGA TOUR champion this season to trust replaceable spikes.
The latest victory came in dramatic fashion at Colonial Country Club, where the champion birdied the final three holes of regulation to force a playoff, before making another birdie at the first extra hole to secure the title while wearing FootJoy golf shoes with a Tour Flex Pro and ProStinger spike combination.
The result keeps Softspikes’ perfect PGA TOUR season alive and further reinforces the preference among the game’s best players for replaceable spikes over spikeless or tennis-style footwear. At the Charles Schwab Challenge, 35 of the top 41 finishers chose replaceable spikes, continuing one of the most dominant equipment trends of the 2026 season.
Softspikes’ momentum was not limited to the PGA TOUR, with further victories recorded across the DP World Tour and LPGA Tour. The winner of the Austrian Alpine Open trusted FootJoy golf shoes with Pulsar spikes, while the ShopRite LPGA champion won in Adidas golf shoes featuring ThinTech PINS spikes.
With 21 consecutive PGA TOUR wins, multiple major championship victories already secured this season, and another strong week across global tours, the evidence continues to point in the same direction: when the world’s best players are competing for titles, they are overwhelmingly choosing spikes underfoot.
“The PGA TOUR streak is now 21 from 21, which is a remarkable statement about the continued importance of replaceable spikes at the highest level of the game,” said Joe Henderson, President of Softspikes. “Week after week, the best players in the world are showing that when stability, control and confidence underfoot matter most, spikes remain the preferred choice.”
Softspikes is the world’s leading manufacturer of replaceable golf spikes and remains trusted by the game’s best players across every major professional tour.
Tour players routinely change spikes based on course conditions, but many amateur golfers overlook traction’s impact on consistency and distance. For optimal performance, golfers should replace spikes every 15 rounds.
